Macondo is a project based in New Zealand. Our vision is to support and enable local communities in Colombia by giving them the opportunity to sell their crafts to a global audience.

​Our jewellery is made entirely by hand in a small town in Colombia called Mompox. The technique used to craft each piece is known as filigree. 

Filigree is a kind of metalwork with which tiny gold or silver threads are woven by hand to form various pieces of jewellery which can take days and even months to make.
