Chaquiras

Crafted by artisans of the Embera Indigenous tribe, our beaded placemats and napkin rings are intricate expressions of heritage and artistry. Made entirely from glass beads, each piece reflects centuries of tradition — a craft that began during the time of the Spanish colonisation, when, according to legend, conquistadors traded gold for glass. Today, the Embera transform these humble materials into vibrant works of art, preserving their cultural identity through colour, pattern and precision. A striking blend of history and handmade beauty for the modern table.
