Guatemalan jade is the stone. J.A.D.E. is the promise.
Each Pamoi bracelet carries Guatemalan earth back to Guatemalan children.
Pamoi means “friend” in Uaika, the language of the Yanomami people of the Venezuelan Amazon. It’s a gift of friendship from Venezuela to the peoples of Guatemala — and from you to someone you love.
Held above gold.
To the Maya, jade was more precious than gold. It stood for life, breath, water, and maize. Rulers wore it, and families laid it with their dead.
Guatemala’s Motagua River valley is still one of the few places on earth where true jade is found. Every Pamoi starts there.
Every Pamoi supports Mission Jade.
Mission Jade is a nonprofit founded in Houston. It fights the labor trafficking of boys in Guatemala. It removes barriers to school, runs programs at dangerous work sites, and teaches prevention in indigenous communities.
20% of every Pamoi sale goes to Mission Jade.
