Our Mission

Our Mission

Every piece of Palmara Jewelry is handwoven with love by the Wounaan, an Indigenous community from Colombia’s Pacific region. Using fibers from the palms that grow in their homeland, they transform nature’s gifts into timeless adornments.

Each bracelet begins with palm leaves carefully gathered and prepared before being woven into patterns that tell stories of their land and culture. The designs seen in every piece are born from tradition, reflecting the rivers, mountains, and paths that shape Wounaan life. Their hands move with patience and purpose, weaving not only jewelry but memory and meaning into every strand.

Palmara exists to honor this artistry and help sustain the Wounaan families by sharing their work with the world. When you wear Palmara, you carry their story, their spirit, and the beauty of a craft that connects people to place.
