COFFEE PENDANT | REAL COFFEE BEAN DIPPED IN 18K GOLD. The process of creating biojewels starts at the collection of the organic materials, acquired in the Brazilian Amazon rain-forest by local farmers. These guys are very familiar with the life cycle of each species of tree, and so they schedule the collection of our goods during the time periods that best suit each species in order to not cause any negative effects in their natural cycle. Also a high percentage (almost 60%) of the goods are collected from trees and branches that have naturally fallen to the ground due to wind, rain, etc. After the collection, they preserve the natural beauty of each piece, by natural processes called desiccation and skelletization. After this first step, a second group of local Artisans handles the metallization and gold bathing processes.The whole process is certified by the IBAMA (Brazilian Institute of Environmental and Renewable Natural Resources).
