This minimalist pendant shows off the natural characteristics of the tagua nut and is a result of a collaboration of skills by Just Trade's makers from South America. Hand carved tagua from Ecuador is combined with simple brass forms that are hand cut by the women at the Hope Jewellery project in Peru. The final assembly of these pieces is completed by the Just Trade UK team of makers in their Peckham studio.
Just Trade collaborates with artisans around the world to create handmade jewellery and accessories. Founded in 2006 by jewellery designer Laura Cave, Just Trade is a collaborative, innovative brand.
Born out of the recognition that in order for small Fair Trade projects to be sustainable, they need a long-term route to market for their goods. Just Trade now works with eight groups of artisans in Peru, Ecuador, India, Indonesia and Vietnam.
