Ethnic Jewelry Handmade in South America

Fairtrade: Jewelry for ethical and sustainable trade

Indigenous and artisanal communities in Latin America continue to preserve their ancestral techniques, which they have used for the production of objects and also for manufacturing unique jewelry pieces.

This is the case of the craft workshop Bamboleira in Bogotá (Colombia), consisting of women from the indigenous community "Los Wounaan," who originally arrived in Bogotá from the Pacific Chocó in 2003. These women are victims of forced displacements caused by the conflict. They were forced to leave their land and face life in the capital. An essential part of their culture is contained in the fabrics they handcraft from the fiber of the Werregue palm. This practice, inherited through generations, has allowed these women to make their emotions, vibrations, and beliefs visible, as well as the way they perceive the world, their relationship with life, and the environment.
