Handmade Ethnic Jewelry

I invite you to join me on my special quest...as I travel the world in search of treasures carried on through years of tradition. Glimmering flecks of silver, contrast sparkling gleams of gold. Delicate winking crystals intertwine rugged whimsical gemstones, jingles and jangles... sparkles and hues. All in the name of handmade ethnic jewelry.

Sep 5, 2008, Calling for HELP!!! SOS!! Handmade Ethnic Jewelry

Although I have written numerous blogs requesting information about finding underprivileged communities around the world who need help, I have received virtually no response. I would really like to organize a group of people who may be interested in my endeavor.

I believe idea is great, and certainly not novel, but a little different.

Rather than people in third world countries depending on hand-outs, there are many creative people who would love to learn a handicraft and have more control over their lives and income.

I know I'm not going to "feed the world", but I'd like to do my small part in helping out and this is the plan.

I am very interested in recruiting a group of volunteers who would like to teach people in these communities to make crafts that we can use and, in turn, bring these items to the US and sell for them.

Fair Trade is nice, but there are lots of complaints that things are overpriced and citiziens of the US are still feeling like they are giving out donations instead of purchasing at a fair price.

The items I have been finding that come directly from the people are very reasonably priced. This gives them money to support their families and I pass on the savings to my customers by selling at a reasonable price....not some overinflated price.

I'm trying to get the ball rolling, but need help. Is anyone interested in something like this? Contact me PLEASE!

May 26, 2008, Handmade Ethnic Jewelry Craft Fair

Considering I mostly sell my handmade ethnic jewelry online, it was really interesting to show it in person. A craft fair at Westmoreland Mall, Greensburg, PA, really proved what a variety of people are interested in this sort of thing.

The Tibetan jewelry and hand carved topaz and jade from China seemed to make the greatest hits. Check them out in my store. Both lines are truly beautiful, unique and economically priced. It is so great to know that people can be helped from underprivileged communities in this way. I am begging people to email me and get involved in this venture.

I am looking for more small talented communities that would like to get their handicrafts (mostly jewelry) into the US. We love their stuff and just need to find more.

Above all else, I am interested in providing a fair price to the native and a fair price for the consumers. I realize it's a challenge to keep things all "fair and square", but it can be done with a lot of hard work and research.

Consumers were also extremely interested in the ammonites, large & natural, the new Egyptian enamal items, the hand carved African Earrings, and the Tagua Rainforest Ivory.

People are really looking forward to the new stock I am looking forward to getting such as PURE turquoise and amber items, and some of the Indian lac, amongst many,many other ideas I have. I need help! I'm getting overwhelmed here!! Email me please!
