Made from a wonder of nature

Your bracelet is made from acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) seeds that grow on the acai palm in Central and South America.

Acai berries have a dark purple skin and yellow flesh that surround the seed. The seeds make up about 80 percent of the berry and we use this seed in these beautiful bracelets.

Does acai have special properties?

The acai berry is the Amazon's most celebrated superfood! Known as "nature's purple gold", it is packed with antioxidants and helps to build the immune system.

Your bracelet is crafted from the acai seed which has been celebrated by indigenous Amazonian cultures for centuries as a symbol of youth, wellness, and beauty.

Just as being in nature gives us a sense of calm and well-being, acai does the same! What an incredible seed!

Meet The Founder

Hi! I’m Alison and I often get asked how a ‘wee Scottish lass’ like me ended up living in Ecuador, starting a jewellery business with artisans in the Andes, and falling in love with one of the most of amazing natural wonders in the plant kingdom. It’s a crazy story but true! And I haven’t even told you yet how the jewellery helps save elephants and how I made my husband my business partner and we ended up as “The Happy Elephant”!

Meet The Artisans

When living in Ecuador, we were fortunate enough to meet two of Ecuador’s finest tagua artisans, Cesar and his wife Teresa. For five years we have worked hand-in-hand with this talented Indigenous Quichua artisan family who bring to life beautiful handcrafted jewellery from nature.

What we love is the connections we have made over the years and how we have come to rely on one another. We felt so moved that our very first order with Cesar meant he was able buy his family their very first washing machine!

Frequently Asked Questions

Who makes the jewellery & how?

For over 5 years we have worked with Cesar, one of Ecuador’s finest Indigenous artisans.  He and his wife and brothers carefully craft The Happy Elephant jewellery.

Acai seeds are first dried in the sun. Afterwards the seeds are tumbled to produce a high polish, and then dyed with Italian vegetable and mineral dyes.

How sustainable is acai?

Acai is very sustainable, offering multiple environmental benefits that make it a true eco-friendly material.

Selective harvesting, where only ripe berries are collected, allows acai palms to naturally regenerate.

Acai palms are maintained by local and indigenous people which contributes to forest preservation. Local communities are therefore incentivized to protect their land from deforestation which helps maintain ecosystem balance.

 How durable is acai?

Acai jewellery is very durable. Crafted from a naturally hard material acai can be worn every day while maintaining its beauty.

Is it heavy to wear?

No - acai is ultra lightweight. This is one of the many benefits our customers comment on.

Can you eat acai?

The acai berry is the Amazon's most celebrated superfood! Known as "nature's purple gold", it is packed with antioxidants and helps to build the immune system.

Your earrings are crafted from the acai seed which has been celebrated by indigenous Amazonian cultures for centuries as a symbol of youth, wellness, and beauty.

Can I send a gift directly?

Yes of course! Just add your product, and at checkout add your giftee’s address in the shipping info, and any personal note you’d like to send and we’ll do the rest!

It comes beautifully gift wrapped and includes an information leaflet that not only tells the story of acai, but also about our artisans who make the jewellery.

I bought these bracelets to wear on a trip to South Africa as I didn’t want to take expensive jewellery with me. I knew that they would go with everything and I ended up wearing them every day.
I love The Happy Elephant jewellery and have quite a few pieces now, It warms to your skin and so, after a few minutes, you can forget that it is there.
( And Mark and Alison are lovely and don’t mind how long it takes you to make up your mind!)

We were so happy to hear how much you enjoyed wearing the bracelets on your trip to South Africa. Thank you for the great review - we were so happy to read this!
