Fair Trade and hand crafted by artisans in Ecuador, NYC-based, The Andean Collection introduces two fine, new, naturally beautiful necklaces for fall.

- The new Circle Chain – a combo of metal chains interspersed with sexy Tagua loops, comes in either Military Green or Pink Sugar ($98).
- The Cascade Necklace – awash in acai and pambil palm seeds, featuring a soft but durable handwoven fabric clasp, ($138); comes in lilac, salmon, sea green and teal.
- I bought my sister CarriLu the acai berry wrap bracelet (in tangerine), and she loves it. The bright color makes her feel happy. She wears it often, and receives lots of compliments on it.
- Check out the transformation of raw materials — from the Ivory Palm’s Tagua nut to a pretty bracelet.
You can find eco chic fashion accessories ranging from $12 to $225 @ theAndeanCollection.com, where social responsibility meets sustainable style.

























Thanks for the great post Maureen!! Hope all is well with Alternative Consumer!!
They’re so beautiful, especially the purple one. Is it really made out of acai berry? It’s hard to believe.
