True Blue Earrings
True Blue Earrings
These earrings rock. The rough-cut, blue sodalite stone is edgy and eye-catching, and it is said to be a stone of truth, helping to improve logical thinking and communication! The True Blue Earrings were handcrafted by makers working with our fair trade partner Intercrafts Peru, a nonprofit cooperative creating opportunities for artisans in economically challenged areas.

Each stone is unique, just like the wearer.

THE MAKERS

Intercrafts Peru is a nonprofit civic association promoting export sales of Peruvian handicrafts. A democratic cooperative of artisan groups, Intercrafts Peru allows artisans full participation in organizational decisions. The group's aim is to keep overhead costs low, to share responsibility so more income remains in the hands of the artisans, and to explore new markets. The association's headquarters are located in Lima with other offices situated in the marginal districts and communities of Lima, Ayacucho, Huancayo, Cuzco, Puno, Arequipa and Piura. Benefits to members include health care, loan funds and advances, school supplies and books, training programs and technical assistance. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from Intercrafts Peru since 1993.
