It all starts with awareness, with taking a step forward and committing ourselves to helping the planet. It’s easy to be an environmental warrior, but when you take the initiative to create sustainable products you know you’re on the right track. That’s part of the story of Bárbara and Ikima Joyas, a Valencian brand that produces handmade jewellery in silver and recycled materials such as aluminium and plastic. In addition to transmitting through their jewellery, concepts so abstract that they arouse interest and curiosity; Ikima Joyas wants to raise awareness about circular economy, sustainable production and responsible consumerism.

That is why Barbara expresses her creativity by manufacturing in a sustainable way; reusing materials such as aluminium and recycling plastic spoons from ice-cream shops to create handmade jewellery with a smaller environmental footprint. Being a small brand, like many others, its production is limited to a certain number of pieces, all individually created by hand respecting the creative processes to give exclusivity to each one of them.

Their designs are the result of the energy of memories, images and emotions; with which they bet for the authentic craftsmanship and for the care of the environment. Bárbara and the Ikima Joyas team want to do their part and show that manufacturers can create without destroying their social and environmental surroundings. Also, they want to share with their consumers the idea of local consumption and proximity. In addition to reducing carbon emissions, they support artisans, artists, designers and small entrepreneurs in their journey to make their passion a business.

Ikima Joyas is a brand that wants to create awareness through its products and through initiatives such as the Agora Talents Association, which helps different Valencian brands and designers to have more exposure with their products and sustainable projects. Bárbara and her team will continue to produce and share their philosophy and values through their designs; being happy to be able to generate changes in today’s society, no matter how small those actions are.
