Recycled Sari Hoops - Small, India

The fabulous earrings feature a small post-style hoop with recycled sari fabric breads. The artisans cover handmade wooden beads with recycled remnants of discarded vintage cotton saris and quilts.  The beads are made from discarded wood from a local furniture company, making these a truly repurposed item. Earrings measure approximately 1.1" in diameter. Please note:  Since each product is handmade out of recycled fabric no 2 will be exactly alike.  However, the colors will be similar in all of them.  All of our products are shipped with cards containing information about fair trade and the corresponding artisan group. ABOUT THE ARTISANS Our sari fabric jewelry collection is handmade in a fair trade women's cooperative in India. The artisans are paid excellent wages and have seen their standard of living greatly increase through fair trade practices.  In addition, Worldfinds, the company working with the women, has established the Girls Education Fund, which provides scholarships for marginalized girls to continue school.  In India it is estimated that 64% of adolescent girls are forced to leave school early to take care of younger siblings, help run the household or for arranged marriages.
