Simple and classy jewelry for everyday wear. This beautiful necklace features a small sterling silver hand pendant in a traditional Balinese filigree design. The Hamsa, also often called Hand of Fatima, is worn as a 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.
