Okamas Oro — The Gold Okama

Woven by Alicia and her daughters, Risaralda, Colombia

Some jewelry is made to be worn. This piece is made to be felt — the weight of tradition, the warmth of gold, the story of women who have been weaving beauty into the world for generations.

The Okamas Oro is a statement choker unlike anything mass-produced. Every loop, every layer, every carefully placed bead is the result of a technique passed down through the Embera-Chami community — an indigenous group from the mountains of Risaralda, Colombia, whose women have adorned themselves with Okamas for festivals, ceremonies, and celebrations since long before anyone called it "jewelry."

• Wipe gently with a damp cloth — do not submerge in water
• Keep away from perfume, lotion, and hair products
• Handle with care — this is handmade and will break if pulled or tugged
• Store flat in a cool, dry place inside a jewelry pouch or box
• Do not machine wash or machine dry

Each Okamas Oro is made by hand and may have slight natural variations — this is the beauty of artisan work, not a flaw. No two are exactly alike
