What does muna mean?

Muna is a word from the indigenous Inga dialect, originating from the Alto Putumayo region in Colombia. This term has deep roots in the worldview and language of the indigenous peoples who inhabit these ancestral lands.

The Inga language is spoken by the Inga indigenous community, whose presence in Colombian territory dates back centuries. The Alto Putumayo region, located in the department of Putumayo, is home to this rich cultural and linguistic tradition that has endured through generations.

Choosing the name muna for our brand is a tribute to these indigenous roots and the beauty of Colombian cultural diversity. It represents our connection to the land, nature, and the values of authenticity that characterize the indigenous peoples of this region.

Each piece we create carries the spirit of these ancestral traditions, reflecting the dedication, care, and mastery that defines both indigenous artisanal work and our commitment to quality and excellence in every detail of our emeralds and jewelry.
