Handbeaded Protection Jewelry 

Our collection of blessing necklaces connects you to centuries of spiritual wisdom while making powerful style statements. From elaborate ceremonial pieces to versatile everyday wear, these necklaces transform both your outfit and your energetic frequency. 

Okamas: Protective Collars 

Okamas (meaning: “the path around the neck”) have detailed patterns inspired by rainforests, rivers, and mountains. These bold pieces do more than decorate—they protect and honor your spirit. 

Made by Hand: Each okama takes days to create, with thousands of small beads carefully threaded using traditional methods. They showcase bright flowers and shapes that connect to the natural world the Emberá Chamí hold dear. 

More Than Jewelry: Traditionally, okama necklaces mark life changes and offer protection. Young women often receive their first okama during coming-of-age ceremonies, creating a spiritual bond with ancestors. 

How to Wear: Okamas are statement pieces that elevate any outfit, especially when you pair them with simple, solid clothing—like our Ina Bodysuit. Wear an okama when setting intentions, during meditation, or whenever you seek spiritual protection and wish to honor your highest self. They can also make meaningful conversation starters at conscious gatherings such as cacao ceremonies, new moon circles, sound baths, music festivals, and healing retreats. 

Direct From Indigenous Hands Every piece comes from Emberá Chamí families who help with our regenerative farm project in Colombia. We know these artists personally. This direct relationship ensures they receive fair wages while keeping their traditional skills alive. These aren't mass-produced items, but handmade heirlooms, crafted bead by bead with purpose. By wearing these pieces, you support Indigenous wisdom and help keep cultural practices strong. 

Supporting Cultural Heritage Our direct relationship with the Emberá Chamí artisans ensures your purchase supports their families and cultural practices. We don't use middlemen—we know these artists personally, visit their communities, and provide fair payment for their skills. By choosing these pieces, you help Indigenous communities maintain their connection to their art while creating sustainable livelihoods that honor their culture. Decorate your spirit. Support indigenous wisdom. Carry protection in every bead.
