A Jewelry Box makes a nice gift for Christmas and we have a lovely fair trade selection of fine Jewelry available. Made in India you can choose from boxes made from saris, or silk and skilfully decorated with embroidery. They are all beautifully finished inside. A good reason for purchasing fair trade items like this is to create a demand which helps to keep ancient craft skills alive within the communities of indigenous people.
From Hand-rolled Magazine Beaded necklaces/Bracelets/Earrings from Uganda, Tagua or Vegetable Ivory (an Elephants best-friend) to beautiful metal beaded lariats made by the Women of Trampled Rose in Ethiopia as they recover from fistula repair surgery, we have something for every woman.
We just received georgous sterling silver Butterfly Wing Jewelry from Peru. These hand-made jewelry pieces contain real butterfly wings encased in sterling Silver. The butterflies are from a sustainable and ecological butterfly farm, and the wings are harvested AFTER the end of the butterfly's natural life. Projects such as this support two groups, the regulated breeders of the butterflies and the jewelry artisans.
