PLANT BASED JEWELLERY HANDCRAFTED FROM VEGETABLE IVORY
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!

Let customers speak for us
Its a gift for a friend and I think she will love it, the colours are just perfect for her.
Update to my earlier review! Further to my purchase, in December, of your Chica necklace for my daughter-in-law, she was absolutely thrilled with it. Then yesterday I had friends here while wearing my Chica necklace, and they all commented on how lovely it is! In fact each time I wear it, I receive compliments. It’s clearly a winner! Thank you Happy Elephant!
My necklace is absolutely lovely and I’m so pleased I purchased it. I will definitely be needing another colour or two in the future!
I’m very happy with my earrings as they’re very impactful but not overwhelming.
Excellent quality. Would heartily recommend them for everyday and as a present. I pair mine with my LILY necklace.
I love my Lily necklace. I have it 2 colours (so far). It’s light and comfy to wear and so versatile as you can adapt the length to suit the neckline on your outfit.
Looks as lovely in reality as on the website. Another beautiful necklace in my collection. So many compliments!
I love the colours and designs of your necklaces. They are so vibrant. I get so many positive comments when I wear one.
I love my Tagua bracelet. It is a beautiful teal blue colour and is very smooth to touch. It looks great on as a chunky bracelet. I would highly recommend this product.
I purchased the bonita necklace with the matching earrings a while ago at their market stall and I am very happy with the quality. It is made with good quality materials that last.
The adjustable necklace also makes it great for multiple collar lengths.
Love the strong colours
Gave earrings as a Christmas gift for my wife to match the colourful necklace bought in the summer at Blenheim.
Delighted with purchase, quick delivery and good customer service.
My friend is delighted with her gift from me and I am delighted with the gift from my daughter!
Beautiful beautiful jewellery
I first came across Happy Elephant at the Saturday market in St Albans. I think I now have all the colours in this particular style and I have received some of the other products as gifts. They are beautifully made and the colours are stunning. They are always much admired and I wear them a lot as they go with everything. There's always a friendly welcome at the stall and I recommend a visit. It's great to know that they are cruelty free and ethically produced. A brilliant small business.
My Grand-daugter love her colourful bracelet and has really enjoyed wearing it.
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.
The coconuts are first dried in the sun for several months. They are then carved into pieces and tumbled to produce a high polish.

How durable is coconut?
Coconut is known for its durability. It is super strong and can handle pretty much anything thrown at it.
