For centuries women have been adorned in intricate, ornamental designs. The innovative techniques and designs have evolved over time but the jewelry remains true to Indian culture and traditions.</p> <p>This collection of elegant, statement jewelry is handcrafted by a cooperative of women artisans located in rural areas around Delhi, Ghaziabad and Meerut India. The women, who were previously unemployed, are empowered with the means to earn a fair wage. They are able to work from home where they can also look after their children. The co-op doesn’t just give the artisans a source of income, but also provides respect in a society where women are viewed as second-class citizens. The artisans draw inspiration from traditional Indian jewelry designs and strive to retain the innate nature of each raw material while keeping a global audience in mind. <span> </span></p> <p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1744/4985/files/slate-and-salt-fair-trade-artisans_9894037e-c448-47a1-b32e-a13c24625aef_large.jpg?v=1527266273" alt="Slate + Salt Fair Trade Artisans">       </p> </div> <div class="twelve columns offset-by-two center alpha clearfix"></div>
