This gorgeous bangle is handmade from finely-cut brass strips that catch the light beautifully. This bracelet is made by a project in Lima, Peru, that offers women training and fairly-paid employment, often for the first time in their lives. Every design is the result of a collaborative process in which the women are encouraged to contribute their own design ideas, promoting a sense of price and ownership.

“At 59 years old I have learnt to make jewellery - I never thought that I would do this! Now I can help the economy of my household and I feel important. I never had the opportunity to work before.” – Naty, jeweller Just Trade is our connection to six inspirational fair trade jewellery projects in Peru, Ecuador and India.
