Growing of cacao in Convento. (ECUADOR)
Found this nice mail few weeks ago in my mailbox, like to share it.
Dear Geert, I found your blog and read the article about cacao in Ecuador, also your web page and found most of them very interesting and delightfull for the eyes....so I can imagine it will be the same with your hand made chocolate.....delightfull for the senses.
I am attaching a photo of a jewelry piece we were commisioned by the President of the Junta Parroquial de Convento, Manabi.
I thought its something you would like to see because it was a present for the Major of Viry Chatillon, France when she was coming for a visit in july.
Both cities signed an agreement of cooperation in a project to improve the growing of cacao in Convento.
The design is made on a slice of tagua nut (the other ivory), fresh water pearls, sterling silver is the back, and the leather lace. It can be worn as a brooch also.
I am part of studioloor, we are from Manabi and use the tagua nut as one of the main beautifull materials in our jewelry designs.
Hope you enjoy it.
Regards,
Silvia Loor
