About the Artist

The art of making tagua nut jewelry is handed down from generation to generation, At the very young age of seven, I was taught how to make tagua nut jewelry by my grandmother. To this very day, I enjoy making this light weight and colorful jewelry!

My goal is not only to make fine jewelry but to support the art communities in the towns that I appear. Right now, I support two poor villages in Ecuador where I was born.
