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 exploring our country and discovering new landscapes that fill us with life and creativity. Our goal is to showcase the beauty and uniqueness of Colombia's natural landscapes. Each of our collections is inspired by a different magical place, and when combined, they form an Atlas—a new way to represent our country through jewelry. We delve deep into various ecosystems, creating concepts that capture the essence of our experiences, which we then share with you through our pieces.
We aim to inspire you to explore, discover, and view Colombia's ecosystems with fresh eyes.
Let yourself be amazed by the wonders around 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
At El Encenillo Reserve, near the Chingaza Páramo, we have carried out two reforestation projects, planting 80 native tree species from the High Andean Forest ecosystem. This effort has contributed to the restoration of the páramo's biological corridor.
