Jewelry Producers
Much of our jewelry comes from New Delhi, India, and is created by a collective that was originally formed to support a small group of teenage slum girls. The girls were trained in jewelry making, and taught about design and market trends.
Formally incepted in the year 2000, the collective now works with 7 different groups of artisans and follows the principals of Fair Trade. In doing so, they are providing support to unorganized, marginalized and underprivileged craftspeople living in and around Delhi. The artisans are provided with proper feedback, training in management skills and marketing, assistance with education for themselves and their children, taught about the ills of child labor and the importance of empowerment for women, and given financial assistance with raw materials for their creations.

Rob Kimery
A good friend of the Tribe, Rob Kimery creates our original works of art for children. Having recently relocated from flashy Las Vegas to a quiet seaside town in Maine, Rob is focusing on his lifelong love of creating art. Inspired by nature's beauty in his new home, Rob is now experimenting with the use of natural materials in his artwork.
Growing up in a silent world (Rob is hearing impaired) in a small country town, he learned as a young child to express himself through rich visual art. He has studied watercolor, pastel, charcoal, oil and acrylic paints, lead and pencil, ceramics, screenprinting, clay sculpture, even welding and metalwork - and is now pouring all of his talent into his own fun, unique and whimsical style of artwork for children.
