Classic pearl stud earrings will become your everyday go-to pair. Layer them with other piercings or style alone. Handcrafted in sterling silver by artisans in Peru with Manos Amigas, meaning "hands joined in friendship," 20% of profits go to social efforts within their communities: warm meals to 300 children a day, school supplies and uniforms, and a scholarship program for artisans' children to attend university.

THE MAKERS
Deep and lasting relationships are essential to this family-run business, whose name means "hands joined in friendship." They bring the wares of 60 workshops across Peru - gourd carvers, ceramicists, jewelry makers and reverse-painted glass artisans - to market. They create a variety of exquisite handicrafts that tell stories of tradition and resilience. "I want to keep going, keep working to get ahead. My work is a happiness." - Eulogio Medina
