Simon & TIVONA: Bridging Generations of Handcrafted Jewelry to the World

Jewelry is more than adornment—it is a symbol of culture, identity, and history. At TIVONA World, we are dedicated to preserving and celebrating the artistry of African jewelry makers, ensuring that their handcrafted traditions do not fade with time but instead thrive in a modern world.

One of the most meaningful partnerships we have cultivated is with Simon, a skilled artisan whose family has been crafting jewelry for generations. His story is a testament to resilience, craftsmanship, and the deep-rooted traditions that define African artistry.

Meet Simon: A Family Legacy of Jewelry Making

Simon is not just an artisan; he is a keeper of history, a storyteller whose hands bring life to metal, beads, and natural elements, transforming them into breathtaking pieces of jewelry.

For generations, his family has dedicated themselves to the intricate craft of jewelry making. Their knowledge of metalwork, bead threading, and natural stone carving has been passed down like an heirloom—father to son, mother to daughter—preserving skills that date back centuries.

For the past five years, TIVONA World has had the honor of working alongside Simon and his family, supporting their craftsmanship and helping share their work with the world. Through this partnership, we have not only witnessed the passion and precision that goes into each handcrafted piece but also the challenges that artisans like Simon face in sustaining their craft.

Why Our Mission Matters: Connecting Artisans to the World

Many artisans, despite their unmatched skill, struggle to access global markets. Fast fashion, industrialized jewelry production, and economic hardships have made it difficult for traditional jewelry makers to sustain their businesses.

At TIVONA World, our mission is clear: to bridge the gap between these artisans and the global market, ensuring that their work is not only seen but also valued.

By working directly with artisans like Simon, we:

✅ Ensure fair trade and ethical sourcing – Every purchase directly benefits the artisan, providing fair wages and supporting their craft.

✅ Preserve ancestral craftsmanship – Each piece tells a story, keeping centuries-old techniques alive.

✅ Promote sustainability – Unlike mass-produced jewelry, our pieces are handcrafted using eco-friendly, locally sourced, and upcycled materials.

✅ Empower artisan communities – We create economic opportunities that allow artisans to expand their businesses, educate their children, and build a sustainable future.
