DESCRIPTION: The KB Crafts workshop is like an oasis in a challenged area of Delhi. The Tara Projects artisan group set up this workshop as an effort to bring hope to the community, and they’ve been seeing positive results. This necklace was crafted with a technique that was recently introduced to the workshop, which is now capable of using casting techniques to create jewelry such as this. PRODUCT DETAILS: Measurement: 16" L - Adjustable Due to the handcrafted nature of our products, slight variations enhance authenticity. IMPACT: Made with love in India ♥ Ten Thousand Villages is a global maker-to-market movement that addresses economic injustice. They are a pioneer of fair trade, they do business differently, putting people and the planet first. That means you can trust that every purchase you make directly impacts the life and community of its maker in an under-resourced community. Together we break the cycle of generational poverty and ignite social change. #LiveLifeFair THE MAKER: TARA Projects stands for "Trade Alternative Reform Action." Working in a 125-mile radius of Delhi, TARA is a fair trade program for community development and business. The organization enables hundreds of artisans who create some of the major handicraft lines of North India to sell their products internationally. TARA is one of the pioneering Indian organizations in the field of fair wages, non formal education programs for children and women, health and environmental awareness and further development for its member artisans. Artisan benefits from TARA include medical insurance, interest-free loans and advances, a savings program and skills training. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from TARA since 1986.
