These beautiful pieces were handmade by the Embera Chami from Colombia, South America. The meaning of Embera Chami is – People from the mountain.
Historically they were a hunting and harvesting group who are currently suffering for many reasons including colonization, climate change, and forced displacement.
I supported them by purchasing a bunch of jewelry and am in contact with them too. Hopefully, I'll keep bringing them to the U.S!
