Trade Aid- handmade artisian jewellery

Trade Aid sources handcrafted artisan jewellery from Fairtrade jewellery producers as well as small independent artisans around the world. We endeavour to enable artisans, especially women, to earn an income through the practice of their craft. The artisan jewellery, in many of the collections, is a living expression of the artisan’s deep cultural traditions. When you wear one of these handcrafted artisan jewellery pieces you not only help artisans achieve the art of self-reliance, but also contribute to preserving traditional craft techniques. We invite you to explore the stories behind Trade Aid’s collection of artisan jewellery from around the world. If you do choose to purchase a handcrafted piece, you will feel beautiful on the outside wearing the jewellery and beautiful on the inside knowing you supported an artisan.We offer many exquisite handcrafted jewellery designs in necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches and hair accessories. The handcrafted jewellery is individually created and features the unique style of artisans from India, Africa, Cambodia, the Pacific, Vietnam, Mexico and Nepal. There are plenty of pieces available and our Trade Aid shops offer a wide selection of jewellery made from metal, glass beads, stones, seeds, fine woods or bone.
