Mother of Pearl Heart Earrings

This jewelry comes from the Taxco region of Mexico, best known for it’s silver jewelry.  The artisans continue to produce traditional jewelry much like their ancestors. The groups who produce jewelry in this collection have formed cooperatives to pool together their talent and resources – the result has been a positive impact for the individual artisans and a bigger impact on the community. Artisans often work out of their homes and are paid fair wages allowing them to be present for their children and families. Artisans pull resources to include support for their local schools and programming geared towards the community youth.
