New Year Deals: Ethically Made Jewellery At Excellent Prices

Another wet, grey January. The Christmas revelries are over and the high street seems cold and forbidding. This Fair Earth has the answer, with a beautiful range of handmade necklaces, bracelets and bangles, at amazing prices to beat the slump and the rise in VAT. What’s more, each piece of their handmade jewellery has a individual quality and feel, making sure you stand out from the crowd. And you don’t even have to venture outside.

Websites like This Fair Earth have been set up to create beautiful pieces of handmade jewellery, accessories and scarves and, what’s more, they are ethically produced, eco-friendly and fairly traded. All of their products come from independent designers from within the UK, or form part of a worldwide fair trade initiative, making sure that beauty doesn’t come at a price. For instance, the handmade bracelets are made by Kazuri, who specialise in Kenyan fair trade beaded jewellery.

All the bracelets are made near Nairobi, shaped, kiln fired and painstakingly strung, so each one displays a unique part of the individual who made it.

Handmade bangles, earrings and accessories also come from all across different parts of the world. Yakanaka, Silver Chilli and Artisan Life create their products from sustainable, natural materials whilst offering stability and skills to the people who make them. You can purchase their handcrafted jewellery knowing that you are helping to commercialise their crafts and supporting fairtrade.

Fairly traded doesn’t necessarily mean high prices; you can help excellent independent artists from all over the globe without a strain on your pocketbook. So you can shop for beautiful, ethically sound jewellery from the comfort of home, supporting artists and craftsmen all over the globe and not worrying about how much it costs. And you might get something you actually want for a change (so you can put that vase from Granny on eBay).

Janey Hamilton specialises in fair trade handmade bracelets from sites all around the globe. Made across various continents, top ethical brands make the perfect handmade jewellery for him or for her.
