Amulet Bags
An invention of the North American Indians, amulet bags have spread in popularity across North America and now around the world. They can be used to hold stones, pictures, or any other trinket or symbol of good luck right over your heart. These amulet bags were made with 8/0 beads on a loom. Each bag is approximately 1 ½" x 1 ½". All of these necklaces' length can be adjusted -- click on the thumbnails to see the larger photos for more detail. |

Natural Seed Necklaces
Seeds are the gods' gift to artisans. They're all natural; they come in an amazing variety of colors, shapes and textures; they represent cultures and places; and we can collect them ourselves. But seeds can be downright stunning when you wear them right...take a look for yourself! |

Macramé Necklaces
Macramé is the art of tying knots without any hooks or needles. Although not commonly used, macramé is a great technique for making earrings. The end result always has great movement thanks to the weaving's flexibility. |

Tagua Necklaces
Tagua, also known as vegetable ivory, is an essential element in Ecuadorian handicrafts. To learn more about tagua, click here. All of these necklaces are woven with super-strong Brazilian "Fio Encerado," a polyester blend originally created for leatherwork. In addition to never fraying or unraveling, the thread also does not fade for years, literally, and regardless of how much sun or water you expose it to -- Roberto's been wearing the same Fio Encerado anklet for five years and it still hasn't worn out. |

Natural Carving Necklaces
The wood used for these pendants came from two sources. The first is our friend's garden in the Chocó region of Colombia, where he has three trees that produce fine wood. We cut small parts of thin branches and then sliced them up into individual pendants. We got the rest of the wood here from a friend of ours who makes absolutely amazing wooden furniture in the province of Manabí along the northern coast of Ecuador. He was kind enough to not only donate his scraps, but also help us cut them up and prepare them to be carved. These pendants have also been coated in paraffin wax. |
