Our products can be divided into two main categories:

   1. Items designed and made by K & S owner Andrea Rodriguez-Tarazi.  You can identify a K&S Design by the “K&S ” designation.
   2. Items made by artisans working in fair trade cooperatives and workshops in  Latin America.   Such items are obtained from fair trade vendors including Pueblito, One World Projects and the Seed Jewelry Center.  These items are identified by the Fair Trade Item (”FTI”) designation.

All “K&S” items are designed by Andrea Rodriguez-Tarazi.  Andrea has been making seed jewelry for over five years.   She learned the basics of jewelry making from her aunt who also designs and makes jewelry in Colombia.  Andrea tries to keep her jewelry simple, colorful and fun as a reminder of the way life should be.

Efforts are made to obtain raw materials from fair trade vendors whenever possible.  The seeds used in our jewelry include the following:  Tagua Nut,  Acai seeds, Chambimbes, Choco Cariados, Choco Diamante, Ojo de Buey, Boca de Pescado, Ojo de Venado, Bombonas, Carambolo seeds and Enebro.  Andrea also incorporates pieces of bamboo, stone, and glass into the K&S designs.
