Social Impact

This necklace has been carefully crafted by a small team of marginalized artisans displaced from West Bengal, who have found sustainable livelihoods through their skill in making beautiful pieces like these. They are proudly certified by the World Fair Trade Organization.

Each piece comes packaged in a soft organic pouch, which has been lovingly made by some of Jaipur's most vulnerable women, who are betting their lives through the income from the block printing, tassel making and stitching of these very pouches. No two are the same, each one beautiful in its imperfections.

Zero Waste Packaging

Packaging is mindfully thought through and kind to the planet, with tree-free recycled cotton paper care tags, recycled tissue paper and a recyclable eco postal box. To help keep your jewelery looking lovely, each piece comes with a soft branded jewelery cloth. Each piece is wrapped with an individually dripped wax seal, making for the perfect gift for a loved one or for self :)
