Amalena Ethical and Eco-Friendly Gold Jewelry

Amalena is the first ever social enterprise fine jeweler to offer a hand-crafted collection exclusively made from 100% ethical, environmentally safe 18ct gold (Eco Gold).

Founded in 2013 by Bogotá-born Johanna María Mejía Sanchez, Amalena’s visionary approach is shaped by respect for nature and humanity. Amalena shifts the paradigm from philanthropic charity to an all-transparent, fair, social, and ecologically safe production.

Amalena has established fair and sustainable partnerships with ecologically and socially responsible mining cooperatives and female goldsmiths in Colombia to ensure fair mining, fair trade and fair prices for a 100% ecological and ethical product of a recognizably unique design.

The timelessly feminine and delicate necklaces, pendants, bracelets, and earrings handmade in Colombia by female goldsmith cooperatives are inspired by the rich local lore and its amazing heroines. Amalena jewels are the ultimate celebration of craftsmanship and of ecological and ethical principles, treasures made to become heirloom pieces one day.

“My promise”, says founder Johanna Mejía, “Is transparency and fairness throughout the process. We work mine to wearer, with each piece of Amalena jewelry truly going from our hands to yours, spreading joy start to finish from a gold nugget to a jewelry piece worn by a woman. It warms my heart to see our clients find their personal values reflected in our work.”

The respectful nature of Amalena sparks love, hope and inspiration creating positive change in the hard-working fair-mining community, empowering and strengthening female artisans, and ultimately, as a gift of true harmony, exciting the wearer with its unique charm.

Irresistibly pure and radiantly honest, Amalena jewels are perfect guilt-free purchases and special occasions gifts enabling each client to becoming a hero in this success story of fairness, trust, respect, and beauty.
