OUR SUSTAINABILITY AXES
1.KNOWLEDGE
Did you know that Colombia is the #1 most biodiverse country in relation to its size?
We are passionate about touring our country and discovering new landscapes that fill us with life and creativity. We want to highlight the beauty and uniqueness of the natural landscapes of the Colombian territory. For this reason, each of our collections is inspired by a different magical place that, when united with the others, forms an Atlas and a new way of representing our country through jewelry. We visit and go through different ecosystems in-depth and then create a concept that rescues the most significant of our experience to then share it with you through our jewelry.
We want to inspire you to explore, investigate, and see Colombian ecosystems with different eyes.
Let yourself be amazed by the wonders that surround you!
2.PRODUCTION
We take care of every part of our process to reduce our social and environmental impact
We try to find alternatives that generate less impact throughout our value chain. That is why we are committed to using only Sterling Silver recycled from x-rays as raw material and replacing fast but harmful processes with slower ones that protect nature and those who carry them out.
We constantly experiment with the materials we use, questioning ourselves about the real value of a jewel and what we consider as such. According to each collection, we incorporate unconventional materials and are constantly exploring the reuse of materials considered waste or not common within the jewelry industry.
At this time, we have managed to give a second life to the rubble recycled concrete in our Chingaza collection, as well as experimenting with hand-blown glass for our Rio Claro and Isla de Salamanca collections, bronze with oxidation processes for our Tatacoa collection, and recycled glass for our Cocuy collection.
With the evolution of our brand and thanks to our constant material exploration, we've found glass to be our most beloved material, not only for its amazing properties and captivating shine but also because it gives us the chance to reduce the most waste in our workshop.
Thus, little by little, we seek to reduce the impact of our industry, challenge it, and encourage other players to join.

3.ACTION
Actively contribute to the conservation of our territory to protect it
With the purchase of each piece of jewelry, we contribute to the active conservation of our ecosystems in collaboration with various allies, aiming to give back to each territory a small portion of what it provides to us and ensuring that it can be admired by many more people in the future.
We have successfully generated a positive impact on 6 of the ecosystems present in the country: High Andean Forest, Tropical Moist Forest, Tropical Dry Forest, Mangrove, Coral Reefs and Perpetual Snow.
What we've accomplished
In the El Encenillo Reserve, adjacent to the Chingaza Paramo, we've completed two plantings. We successfully reforested the area with 80 species of native trees from the Andean High Forest ecosystem. As a result, we've contributed to the restoration of the paramo's biological corridor.
