The “Ethnos” site originated in May 2003 from a project designed to re-create on the Web the atmosphere and assortment of products which, since December 1996, have been sold in the first ETHNICA shop to be opened in Verona (the italian city famous for Romeo and Juliet).

Since then we have opened The “Bottega dei Monili ” which has been at the forefront of e-commerce of ethnic jewellery in Italy for four years. We have also increased the range of products which we import directly from more than 15 Countries, and we sell them wholesale throughout our Ethnic Trade Sector.

In partnership with InternetIDEA we also created the ABAKAB portal, dedicated to the world of ethnic craft in Italy, which in only a short space of time has become a point of reference for all those who wish to present their products on our market.

What inspired us to begin this activity and to specialize in the importation and distribution of ethnic jewellery was the belief that this type of artistic jewellery represents a part of the history, the culture and the symbolic and religious traditions. Consequently the jewellery is presented in its own particular significant context with a clear explanation of its meanings.

The jewellery of Native Americans, the reproductions of Celtic symbols, the forms of Tuareg craftmanship, the harmony of Oriental creations or the mistery of the Mayan, Inca and Aztec talismans , all tell us something of the uses, customs and beliefs of those who created the jewellery in the past and those who make it today.
The gift of recreating its natural beauty lies in our hands
