This piece of jewelry only cost me $25.00, but it is truly special to me. The instant I saw this one of a kind piece I had to have it .
After I purchased the necklace, I saw it had a website about it. So I checked it out. I was amazed to find the wonderful story that lied behind stuff beautiful jewelry.
This necklace was brought to me by Ember Arts. The have partnered with the women of Uganda, East Africa to make these one of a kind handmade Acholi Beads.
These women make these carefully crafted beads with recylced paper and plastic.
It is through Ember Arts efforts and partnership to help rebulid the land of these women through their art of crafting jewelry.
Gotta love that. Find out more about their efforts here.
