We recently discovered jewelry designer Andres Arango of muichic and loved his attention to detail.

The kolas necklace is one of our favorite pieces.

A sustainable statement for sure with sexy braided hemp to hang down in back, Arango creates his bold jewelry from tagua nuts, a botanical alternative to ivory (a.k.a. vegetable ivory), a seed that comes from the ivory-nut palm or tagua palm which grows in the humid tropical forest of South America.

Leave a comment here to be entered for our second (in a series) of  EcoSalon fashion giveaways.

If you win, there’s no telling how much others will want to covet and touch this piece every time you wear it.

Believe me, I know.
