Pearl Brass Hoop Studs - Medium
These medium hoop earrings feature a removable freshwater pearl for a classic look that never dates. As the pearls used for these earrings are natural, they may be slightly irregular in shape which adds to the character of the piece. Features sterling silver stud posts suitable for pierced ears only. 3cm dia. Please note we are unable to accept returns on earrings for hygiene reasons.
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)
Handmade by artisans at the Hope Jewellery fair trade project in Peru, providing regular work for more than thirty women. Mounted on a recyclable card detailing the fair trade nature of the product.
Pearls approximately 1cm. Please note that due to the pearls being natural, they may be slightly irregular in shape.
In Peru there is a lack of part time, fairly paid work, especially for women living in the sprawling shanty towns of Lima. 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.
The project is based in four areas of Peru, two in the shanty towns in Lima (La Tablada and California) and two provincial cities (Ayacucho and Cajamarca). Since 2006 Just Trade has worked hand in hand with Hope Jewellery to provide part time, fairly paid work that the women 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 provided extensive training in technique and design, which has given the artisans the confidence to design and make their own products.
Materials: Brass with sterling silver earring posts.
