Nua Collection

Nua Collection is a stunning artisan jewelry collection for women with a touch of class and elegance handcrafted in Ecuador. Nua means woman in Shuar, which is one of the languages spoken by one of the indigenous nationalities that have presence in the Amazon region of Ecuador. We offer unique accessories that capture the vibrant colors of the Ecuadorian Amazon (and other regions) with unique designs made out of natural seeds and beads for those who like to stand out with their jewelry and add a new look to their existing wardrobe.

Nua Collection initially began offering these accessories from artisans from the Ecuadorian Amazon region only. Because of it's acceptance in the Unites States, we have expanded to include artisan products from all over Ecuador. All of Nua Collection pieces are genuinely and sustainably handmade by Ecuadorian women. The manufacturing process takes place in the comfort of the artisan's home or small shop. No factories or assembly lines are involved in the creation of these pieces of jewelry which can be seen in the quality and durability of our products.

 This idea was born back in 2017 when the founder of this idea went back to Ecuador after 20 years. She fell in love with her country once again and became obsessed with all the handcrafted products. About a year ago, the idea came to light again when she noticed an opportunity to help people, especially the artisan women, with the sale of these products in the United States. She formed a team and began researching and they found artisans who today sell their products to Nua Collection.

When you purchase from Nua Collection, you are helping these women and their families prosper. Due to the unique character of our products, we order our merchandise in small, manageable shipments, and the artisans are compensated for the full retail value of their work. These hard-working women are a fundamental part in their communities because they bring food to their tables and the skills needed to teach younger generations, thus keeping their culture and tradition alive.

These handmade accessories require a lot of work, devotion, care and attention.  When you purchase one of these pieces of jewelry, you are buying a unique, vibrant and exclusive piece of jewelry from an expert in the field. This piece of jewelry contains a story, a tradition, a culture and it is made to last through several lifetimes. Because of its exclusiveness, a handmade product is more expensive than some people would expect. 

You should feel proud to wear one of these accessories and be the center of attention everywhere you go. If you  are looking for something special and not only unique but one of a kind, then you might want to think about giving a handmade gift instead of purchasing something from the store. The purpose of giving handmade gifts is to give something that is personal and individual to the person receiving the gift. 

We are a business that cares about the planet and empowering women, so our mission is to create a sustainable source of income for these artisans, promote tourism in the amazonian towns and in the future support an environment related project.
