Blossom of Hope Necklace

Wear this lotus blossom tagua charm as a symbol of beauty and resilience. Gift this to yourself or someone you care about as a lovely mantra, a little prayer-an intention to see the beauty that blooms from muddy waters. The card attached to this necklace says, Let hope bloom. Made from "vegetable ivory," a plant-based alternative to elephant ivory, this sustainably harvested nut is also used as an eco-friendly substitute for plastics. Handcrafted by makers with our artisan partner, Andean Collection in Ecuador.

THE MAKERS

Women of Otavalo, Ecuador, who are often the main carers in their families, are also becoming the main breadwinners creating artisanal jewelry with indigenous materials like sustainably harvested tagua. With long-term job opportunities and a stable income, these women are not only changing their own lives and the lives of their families, they are also building the foundations of an economically stronger community which can offer a better future for the next generation.
