Jewelry with Social Responsibility. Mishky designs are brought to life by the hands of Putumayo indigenous people of the Colombian Amazon, talented artisans of one of Colombia??Ÿ?¦Ÿ??s vast rural communities. The core product is an articulated collection of bracelets produced in different widths, easily adjustable to any desired length by a distinctive knotting system. The bracelets are beaded with class A quality glass beads or woven on ancient looms (Egyptian looms) with a variety of vibrant colors and materials, such as silver, brass or recycled rubber and tin. The center silver symbol, such as peace, friendship, love, circle of energy, is either hand hammered and crafted or individually created with a technique called filigree, a craftsmanship which consists of shaping an exceptionally thin silver thread into a symbol. Mishky works with the Colombian Government??Ÿ?¦Ÿ??s Presidential Agency for Social Action and International Cooperation, which promotes illegal crop substitution with traditional handicrafts. When families voluntarily opt out from illegal cropping, Mishky steps up and teaches them new skills and techniques to make its jewelry. By manufacturing Mishky accessories, these indigenous people are ensured honorable jobs and improve skills living in a peaceful environment.
