Amazonite is called the hope stone, known for calming fears and opening hearts. Shades of the ocean, this layered turquoise necklace calls to the sea and deepens your breath with a soothing vibe. Handcrafted by artisans in India with TARA Projects, working with hundreds of artisans: paying fair wages, providing medical insurance, interest‒free loans and advances, a savings program, and skills training.
Who Made It: TARA Projects stands for "Trade Alternative Reform Action." Working in a 125-mile radius of Delhi, TARA is a fair trade program for community development and business. The organization enables hundreds of artisans who create some of the major handicraft lines of North India to sell their products internationally. TARA is one of the pioneering Indian organizations in the field of fair wages, non formal education programs for children and women, health and environmental awareness and further development for its member artisans. Artisan benefits from TARA include medical insurance, interest-free loans and advances, a savings program and skills training. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from TARA since 1986.
