We always pay the full asking price set by the Embera Chami artisans, never negotiating or undervaluing their work. We believe in respecting their craftsmanship and ensuring they receive fair value for their labour.

The Embera Chami, one of Colombia’s Indigenous peoples, have endured challenges such as colonisation, armed conflict, displacement, and marginalisation, which have limited access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. Despite these struggles, they have preserved a rich cultural heritage, with beadwork at its heart.

For the Embera Chami, beadwork is more than ornamentation, it is cultural storytelling. Each design and colour carries symbolic meaning tied to nature, spirituality, and community identity. For many artisans, particularly women, creating beadwork provides vital income that supports their families while safeguarding traditions for future generations.

By purchasing Embera Chami handmade jewelry, you are contributing directly to the artisans’ livelihoods and helping to preserve their cultural legacy in a changing world.

Giving Back

In addition to fair trade practices, Danko donates a proportion of profits directly back to the Embera Chami community. Supporting the Embera Chami is more than business for us, it is part of our mission to uplift and honour their community in meaningful ways.
