Harmony Bell Necklace
Harmony Bell Necklace
A beautifully crafted sterling silver ball on an adjustable sterling silver chain is actually a bell. In many cultures and countries, from India to Mexico, this necklace is worn by pregnant mothers: its long chain meant to rest atop a baby bump. The bell's soft chime is said to soothe both baby and mother. After baby is born, many mothers shorten the chain so their infant can still be comforted by the familiar sound. From our artisan partner group CRC Exports India, which helps small, informally organized craft workshops develop into self-sustaining businesses.

THE MAKERS

Craft Resource Center (CRC) helps informally organized artisan groups to develop self-sustaining businesses. CRC seeks to develop economic self-sufficiency for a vulnerable segment of society through traditional handcrafting skills. CRC provides marketing, design, finance and exporting assistance to a large number of artisan groups across India. CRC also provides raw materials, production coordination between groups and additional training. CRC considers artisans more important than products. This concern for artisans translates into a broader commitment to help others within the CRC network. Because of CRC’s coordination of craft production between different artisan groups, artisans have a high level of connection and cooperation. Artisan groups have been able to work together in partnership in times of need. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from CRC since 1993.
