Coral Jewelry Colorways
Our Tagua Nut jewelry just so happens to feature this beautiful coral color in various styles for spring. Below are our coral colored Lina Necklace and Orleans Earrings. These are handcrafted in Ecuador and help fund many families with a decent wage. Yet, the path to prosperity requires more than higher income for artisans, it relies on a dedication to a fairer, sustainable business model that can help the current generation of artisans pass down positive social behaviors to future generations.
Our Faire Collection has an extensive impact on the lives of artisans providing everything from no-interest loans, disaster assistance, training, mentoring and scholarship programs. The artisans are able to work less and earn more. Faire Collection is an excellent example of the positive force Fair Trade can be in artisan communities as a whole as much more than a fair wage.
