Designs, Handmade Craftmanship


DESIGNS

All designs are based on the inspiring possibilities of filigree and influenced by pre-colombian cultures. Motifs and craftsmanship that was exemplified by indigenous communities in their traditions and customs. The ‘Nariguera’, traditionally worn through the nose as a symbol of beauty and status, is featured in the collection for its cultural and aesthetic value.

CRAFTMANSHIP

The artisan that produces the KOLONI designs comes from a family of craftsman from Mompox and has spent his life specialising his artistry. 970 silver is used in all the designs to create pieces that are strong and elaborate.

HANDMADE

The handmade filigree used in KOLONI products is a delicate and specialised technique that requires many hours of patient labour and skilled experience to produce the intricate designs.
