Fair Trade Bridal Jewelry

Therefore, it is refreshing to find a company who considers this a priority when locating jewelry to resell. The Lucina Company is all over this, and has even gotten some press about it:
Local jewelry company Lucina (www.lucinacompany.com) also will show its wares [at Portland Fashion Week]. The year-old company finds fair-trade imports from artisans in developing countries and then matches them with American designers who craft the final products.
The raw materials include gemstones carved by women in Afghanistan who are recovering from the effects of war, mohair scarves woven by women weavers in Rwanda and silver chains from a fair-trade workshop in Bali.
Lucian has all kinds of jewelry, but I especially enjoyed their bridal jewelry since it a little different than the traditional jewelry we are so used to for brides.
