Every Samay is guaranteed authentic. Your piece ships with a unique Certificate of Authenticity detailing its materials, origin, and individual characteristics. No two are the same. Every one is certified.

There is only one bear native to South America. It lives in the Colombian Andes. And it’s endangered.

The spectacled bear isn’t an animal most people have seen. It lives in the cloud forests of the Andes, between 6,000 and 11,500 feet above sea level. It’s solitary, quiet, elusive. The kind of animal that exists without needing anyone to know about it.

Why this piece exists

Because the artisans of Antioquia know it. Because Colombia is the only country where this animal has a significant presence in popular culture. And because Samay believes that the things disappearing deserve to be remembered in the most honest way possible: in stone, handmade, built to last.

The most important piece in the catalog

This is the anchor piece. The one that gives meaning to everything else. Not because it’s the most expensive — but because it’s the most honest about what Samay is: a Colombian company that turns what Colombia has, and the world doesn’t know it needs, into art.

Who it’s for

For the collector. For whoever understands that owning something rare isn’t about showing off,  it’s about responsibility. For whoever wants in their space something that in 30 years is going to mean more than it does today.

Availability

This piece is produced in small batches. The stones required aren’t abundant. The artisans who can make it, even less so. If you’re reading this, the current batch still exists. The next one will look different.
