About us
At Teodora, we are not just a jewelry brand, we are the soul of Colombian emeralds. The name Teodora means "gift of God," and this is exactly how we view the emerald. For centuries, the Muisca people of Colombia revered these gems as symbols of life, renewal, and divine connection. They saw the emeralds as gifts from the earth, bestowed to their people as a symbol of abundance and spiritual strength.
In our journey, we don’t just craft jewelry; we honor the very essence of these magnificent stones. Each emerald tells a story that goes beyond beauty, it carries the power of the earth, the wisdom of the ancients, and the legacy of a culture that has lived and thrived in the highlands of Colombia for centuries.
Our mission is to share this gift, to celebrate the purity and power of Colombian emeralds, and to elevate them into pieces that not only adorn but embody the spirit of their land. We work closely with mines that uphold ethical practices, ensuring every emerald we source is a testament to integrity, sustainability, and community. Each gem is not just a stone but is a living part of Colombia’s rich heritage.
Teodora isn’t about jewelry; it is about the emerald. These gems don’t need to be overshadowed by diamonds or precious metals. We believe in the purity of the emerald in its truest form. Every piece of Teodora jewelry highlights the natural beauty and brilliance of these extraordinary stones, whether it’s a bold statement piece or a subtle everyday design.
When you wear Teodora, you are not just wearing a jewel; you are carrying a piece of Colombia’s heart. A symbol of hope, resilience, and transformation, crafted with reverence and care, honoring the past while inspiring a brighter future.

Our jewelry is crafted with care, ensuring that every emerald is a symbol not only of natural beauty but of integrity and responsibility.
