Our bracelets, necklaces, headbands, earrings and handcrafted Amazonian ritual art objects, including kuripes and tepis, are handmade in small batches and directly and ethically sourced from Amazonian Original Peoples, honouring fair payment, cultural heritage and direct support for living Indigenous traditions. Each piece carries the presence of the forest, the discipline of handwork and the dignity of Indigenous cultural continuity.

The Artisans Behind Every Piece

The Peoples

Upper Juruá · Acre, Brazil

Kuntanawa

The Kuntanawa are an Indigenous people of the Upper Juruá region of Acre, whose modern history is written in survival, cultural rebuilding and territorial struggle after the violence of the rubber boom era. Today, cultural renewal is lived through land, memory, language, body painting, songs, dance and forest knowledge, transmitted with care between elders and younger generations.

Their relationship with territory is bound to forest protection: not only as property, but as a living place for trees, medicinal plants, spiritual herbs, animals and all living beings of the forest. For Haux Artcraft, Kuntanawa pieces are presented as works of resilience, renewal and deep forest belonging.

Amônia River · Acre, Brazil

Ashaninka

One of the major Indigenous peoples of the western Amazon, the Ashaninka of the Amônia River live in the Kampa do Rio Amônea Indigenous Territory: 87,205 hectares they have defended with extraordinary determination. Their history is defined by resistance, land defence and cultural endurance across Peru and Brazil.

Ashaninka material culture is distinguished by complex angular and geometric beadwork of remarkable precision. Their pieces are positioned around land defence, refined geometric beauty and cultural strength. No piece claims to grant the wearer access to Ashaninka spirituality.

Gregório River · Acre, Brazil

Noke Koî

Also known as the Katukina-Pano, the Noke Koî, whose name translates as "true people", are an Indigenous people of Acre whose cultural identity is woven into language, oral history, territory and deep forest knowledge. They speak Noke Vana, a language of the Pano linguistic family.

Deeply affected by the rubber economy, contemporary Noke Koî cultural identity is bound to language preservation and territorial memory. Their beadwork is never reduced to "tribal style." It is handmade artcraft connected to true origin, living language and the forest.

Every Purchase Keeps Forest Standing

Rainforest Preservation

10% of everything you buy at HAUX is donated to Instituto Estrela Universal, helping it carry on its mission to promote the preservation of the Amazon rainforest through the creation of natural reserves, regenerative tourism, bioeconomy practices and community education, with a direct positive impact on the original Indigenous communities that live in the area.

23,383 ha

Of primary rainforest under protection

Instituto Estrela Universal maintains the largest private ecological reserve in the State of Amazonas: 23,383 hectares of primary rainforest in the municipality of Guajará, Brazil. In a region where the lack of income opportunities drives rising deforestation, the institute stands as a role model, building a viable alternative economic model together with the local communities.

Its work rests on four pillars:

Biome Preservation & Restoration
Regenerative Tourism
Bioeconomy Initiatives
Education of Local Communities

The institute's work supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

When you choose a HAUX piece, you are not simply giving. You are taking part. The same forest that inspires every bracelet, necklace, kuripe and tepi is the forest being kept standing, and the communities whose hands make each piece are the communities strengthened by it. Every purchase keeps forest standing.

More Than Decoration

Misangas, small beads used in necklaces, bracelets and ornaments, have been central to Indigenous Amazonian life for centuries. Glass beads arrived through European colonisation from the sixteenth century onward, gradually incorporated for their colour, durability and visual power.

In many Indigenous contexts, beadwork expresses identity, beauty, age, gender, status and belonging. Among several peoples, to be properly dressed means to wear beads. The craft is often led by women, who choose the colours, patterns and forms, each artisan leaving her own identity in the weave through techniques passed down across generations.

For Haux Amazon Artcraft, misangas are described as handmade cultural artcraft, not generic jewellery. They are objects of beauty, skill and identity, connecting the wearer to human craft, forest memory and Indigenous continuity, without invented sacred meanings.
