Simple and classy jewelry for everyday wear. This beautiful necklace features a small sterling silver hand pendant in a filigree design. The Hamsa, also known as the Hand of Fatima or Hand of Miriam, is an ancient symbol of protection in many different traditions. Women's Peace jewelry is designed and handcrafted by a close knit group of talented silversmiths who work with a fair trade cooperative in Bali. Bali silversmiths are renowned for a traditional and unique filigree style; these artisans pride themselves on honoring their culture while incorporating an innovative and modern touch with each piece they create.
Indonesia shares a history of chattel slavery, while it was under Dutch colonial rule. Slavery in the Dutch empire was not abolished until 1860, and it continued in insidious extra-legal ways into the 20th century. Today, Indonesians face a higher prevalence of forced labor as part of modern day slavery. Women's Peace Collective provides skilled, well-paying jobs to artisans.
