Jolica - The Art of Giving Review & $75 Gift Card Giveaway

I love jewelry, but I am also very picky about what I purchase and wear. I prefer handmade jewelry that is unique and beautiful. This is exactly why I was so excited to work with Jolica on a review. They have such an amazing variety of jewelry, handbags, scarves and more, all handcrafted by artisans around the world.

About Jolica

Jolica chooses unique designs and top quality materials like sterling silver, Thai silk and supple leather for the goods they feature. all products are handcrafted in workshops across the world. Their artisans have traditions that are passed on through families. Jolica also prides itself upon supporting fair trade, which is a way of doing business that ensures the artisans benefit from their work and skill. All of the artisans make a living wage from their beautiful artwork sold through Jolica. Key principles of fair trade include not only being paid a fair wage, but receiving advance payments for raw materials, children receiving education and also being given the design and logistics assistance needed.

My Thoughts

When I first read about Jolica I was already in love before I even saw the jewelry. I love what they stand for and how they support and greatly appreciate the artisans. Fair trade is very important to me and I love working with fair trade companies. I couldn't wait to look through all of the goodies on Jolica to decide what to review and let me just say, this was a very tough decision!

You can find such an amazing variety of jewelry for women, men and children as well as handbags, wallets and scarves. All of these items are carefully handcrafted. I decided upon White Recycled Glass Necklace with brown and seafoam accents. The glass is found on the beaches of Indonesia and recycled into this gorgeous necklace.

\The picture online does not do this necklace justice as it is even more beautiful in person. The glass sparkles and shines in the sunlight. I love the thread, which is weaved beautifully through the pieces of glass. The necklace makes me think of the beach just looking at it and it would be perfect for a beach vacation! I cannot wait to wear this necklace!
I love this necklace and think any jewelry-wearing Mama would love to own this one. This would be the perfect gift for a Mama like me who loves recycled items and is eco-conscious!
