Seeds and beads
Seed jewellery, along with wooden beads are enjoying popularity in fashion. Ethical versions are available including these acai seed bracelets from Jungleberry at £7.00. The company also sell seed necklaces, earrings and belts all fairly traded from Brazil. The indigenous people in Brazil have incorporated these seeds into their crafts for centuries and it is hoped that the commercialisation of the jewellery will help to support the indigenous culture. Continuing the beads theme, I also love the look of recycled glass beads and eShopAfrica has a great selection which are fairtrade. The aquamarine recycled glass has real surfer chick style. A string of beads is reasonable at $6.50 upwards which will make up for the shipping cost from Ghana! [Ella]
