Why we love it
- Hand crafted by skilled women through a fair trade cooperative in Peru
- Designed in London and brought to the UK by a collaborative, innovative brand with over 20 years experience working with fair trade producers
- Brand is also a proud member of The British Association for Fair Trade Shops and Suppliers (BAFTS) and is completely committed to the principles set out by the World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO)
Just Trade works in partnership with fair trade artisans across the world to create hand made contemporary fashion jewellery for the ethically minded.
These earrings are hand cut from brass sheeting and planished using a specialist hammer to give texture. Produced by Hope Jewellery (formerly the Zoe Project) one of Just Trade's longest running fair trade partnerships. They come with gold plated hooks suitable for pierced ears, and are mounted on a recyclable card detailing the fair trade nature of the product. The moon charms measure approximately 1.5cm. Drop approximately 4cm.
Over the last 10 years, the Hope Jewellery project has grown enormously and is now based in four areas of Peru; two in the shanty towns in Lima (La Tablada and California) and two provincial cities, (Ayacucho and Cajamarca). In these areas there is a lack of part time, fairly paid work, especially for women - the options are either working as a housekeeper in the wealthy part of town or in a textile factory - both of which involve lengthy travel, long hours and leaving their children unattended or in the care of the wider family.
Hope Jewellery is currently providing regular part time fairly paid work for more than 30 women, that they can do from home, or close to home. This has made a significant difference to their household incomes, meaning the women have been able to improve their homes, pay for medical treatment and educate their children, as well as spend more time with their families.
Just Trade has also provides extensive training in technique and design, which has given the artisans the confidence to design and make their own products.
