Style with Substance2013 Lookbook

Made by the hands of the Amazon.

Nayariva strives to tell stories and change lives through design. Our unique hand-crafted accessories come directly from the Amazon Rainforest. Our business model is to empower women to create pieces that are not just unique and sustainable, but functional, relevant and beautiful. The materials for the products are all-natural and sustainably grown. Then each product is specially designed, 100% handcrafted and purchased direct for a fair price from women artisans in the Amazon Rainforest,

allowing them to earn income that helps their families and their village. In addition, a portion of each sale goes to a nonprofit that helps provide the village with health-care, nutrition, education and more.

Nayariva products are the culmination of many years of these women's hard work, each one is a beautiful statement to how they overcame great obstacles and persevered to find their creative talents and entrepreneurial spirit.

Every piece has a story.

Our home line is made with Chambira Palm, sustainably harvested and dyed with all-natural dyes from the rainforest. Chambira Palm is a sustainable resource that helps aid the Amazon in reforestation. The legendary red and black Huayruro (why-Ru-oh) seed, the lustrous black Acai seed and the white marbled Rosario seed are also used in the home accessories, and are cornerstones of the jewelry line.

Our jewelry is hand finished in the USA with sterling silver and high-quality lead-free and nickle free clasps.

Stylish and sustainable

The Carmen Statement Necklace. Made with lucky Huayruro seeds and Rosario seeds.

The Amazonia Wish Necklace is a simple sterling silver necklace with a single hand-drilled Huayruro (Why-ru-oh) seed. In the Amazon they believe that these seeds hold great power to grant wishes, bring good luck and repel evil. Babies are given these seeds for protection. This simple pendant is for the wearer to make a wish and wear

as a symbol of that wish, and for each necklace purchased, a child in the village will receive a nutritious meal.

These necklaces are available in two styles, the loop (shown) and a simple straight bar.

The Amazonia Wish Necklace features a lucky Huayruro seed on a sterling silver pendant.

We believe business is a force for good.

The women are empowered to set their own prices, and are paid directly in their currency. Additionally, each purchase helps provide for the needs of the villages through a donation to Angels of the Ama-zon, a non profit organization dedicated to the welfare of the area. The donations to Angels of the Amazon help with the needs of the villagers ranging from healthcare, education, clean water, disaster relief and more.
