The soul of the mountain

Ethically sourced fine stones and gold exquisitely crafted

Our story

Roberto and Orlando became associates over 30 years ago in the emerald trade business. They traveled together to Hong Kong, Thailand, and Dubai. Roberto, also known as El Gordo for his love of food and a good life, passed away 10 years ago. Orlando is still in the business of mining, cutting, and selling stones around the world.

We are Dorotea and Mauren, their daughters. We recently joined forces to build a jewelry business that is both sustainable and ethically sourced. Dorotea -Gen X- is a jewelry designer. Mauren is a millennial submerged in communications and marketing. Olga, Dorotea's mom, blessed them with a bag of Muzo, Cosquez, and Chivor emeralds.

About us

Olga lives in the mountains of Bogota surrounded by hummingbirds. Dorotea, Andres, her husband of 24 years, Jeronimo and Silvana, their children are currently living in Atlanta. Mauren´s parents, sisters, and brother live in different cities, such as Bogota, Miami, and New York. We own and manage an emerald cutting office, a jewels artisans hub and a mine located in the region of Muzo.

Mayans legend says Gods created all things on Earth. According to Mayan legend, Gods created all things on Earth and entrusted each animal, tree, and stone with a job.. But when they had finished creation, they noticed that there was no one in charge of taking their wishes and thoughts from one place to another. Since they no longer had mud or corn to make another animal, they took a jade stone and carved a tiny arrow with it. When it was ready, they blew on it and the little arrow flew out. It was no longer a simple arrow. Now it had life. The gods had created the x ts'unu'um, the hummingbird, also known as Quynza in the Muisca language, belonging to the indigenous tribe that lived in the area where our emeralds are mined. The Gods also assigned him a job: the hummingbird would have to carry the thoughts of men from here to there. If you see a hummingbird, it means that someone sends you good wishes and love.

Our two lines of design

We decided to embrace our differences and create two very distinct lines of design Mauren, an elegant heritage signature line dedicated to brides and grooms. Where you can find something as simple as a ring or band with emeralds as our center stone as well as hair accessories and lustful garnet for the bride. We offer all the help the groom needs to create a memorable proposal, including the perfect ring that can be upgraded if the bride does not find it as perfect as intended.. He can also treat himself or be given by his loved one beautiful cufflinks or accessories for a memorable wedding day. Dorotea combined her expertise in jewelry with her passion for interchangeable systems that give the user a playful handmade piece that can be worn in many ways.

Our handmade pieces have an indigenous alloy called Tumbaga. Many recipes are unique to an indigenous tribe in the Andes region. Some have been lost in time. We decided on the purest of recipes, combining 24 karate locally mined gold and copper in a 70% 30% proportion, giving us a bright yellow or red hue. We recycle gold for our customers that prefer white gold.
