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”!
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!
Prompt delivery and beautifully packaged.
Lovely necklace, so unusual and goes with so many colours. Love it,
It arrived well packaged and looks lovely. Can't wait to wear it soon
Beautiful piece of jewellery
Beautiful piece of jewellery
I love it !
I bought this necklace for my sister for her birthday and she loves it! I had a sneaky peak before I sent it to her and I loved it too - the colours are so vibrant and it is beautifully made. And it was very light to send through the post too, which was a bonus! I love the story behind it. Thank you.
Love these earrings. Beautiful colour and the style is perfect. They work for wearing dusting the day and for matching up with an outfit for evening. I had the clip on conversion added which work perfect for me. As always the service was impeccable. 🥰
Items arrive promptly and are nicely packaged. Great company to deal with.
Nice necklace. Lovely colours. Comfortable to wear.
Lovely
Shopping with Happy Elephant is simple, straightforward and very rewarding :)
I absolutely LOVE my earrings, I bought them to go with a multi coloured dress and they go perfectly. They also go with my multicoloured Galapagos necklace. I also appreciate the eco friendly packaging and personalised note in each one :)
Beautiful bracelet, comfy and striking.
perfect colour! love these earrings, they are so light to wear.
For over 5 years we have worked with Cesar, one of Ecuador’s finest Indigenous artisans. He, his wife and brothers carefully craft The Happy Elephant jewellery.
Acai seeds are first dried in the sun, then tumbled to produce a high polish, and finally dyed using colourfast specialist dyes made for natural materials such as acai, wool and linen.
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.
Acai jewellery is very durable. Crafted from a naturally hard material acai can be worn every day while maintaining its beauty.
No - acai is ultra lightweight. This is one of the many benefits our customers comment on.
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.
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 love my Happy Elephant jewellery so light and colourful. And they were so helpful in replacing the earring I lost, fantastic service!
