Artisan Craftsmanship

The petals and centre of each sunflower are crafted from totumo, a dried calabash shell traditionally used in Colombian artisan craft. The shells are carefully boiled, dried, hand-carved and polished before being transformed into jewellery.

Natural fabric petals are layered on top, adding softness, colour depth and gentle movement. This combination of organic materials and skilled craftsmanship creates jewellery that feels both bold and refined.

Often described as hand-carved calabash shell art, totumo jewellery transforms natural materials into elegant wearable pieces while minimising environmental impact.

Ethical & Sustainable Fashion

These earrings are handmade by Indigenous artisans in Colombia, using techniques passed down through generations. By supporting traditional communities and using plant-based materials, each pair reflects a commitment to slow fashion and responsible craftsmanship.

Designed to be treasured, not thrown away.
