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.
