About this product
Anju Jewelry is a 100% sustainable jewelry brand committed to creating hope for artisans and their families through economic empowerment. All of our pieces are hand-crafted in India using traditional techniques. The roots of Anju Jewelry began in 1993 when India natives Anju & Gaurav Agarwal decided to invest in their future and move to America. While Gaurav spent his days working on his PH.D., Anju began designing and making jewelry to sell at local craft fairs. As her jewelry sales started to take off, Gaurav decided to quit his job and focus all of his attention on growing Anju's jewelry business. Business continued to grow and on a trip back home to India, they met a talented, but struggling group of artisans that could not keep consistent work. It was then, that Anju and Gaurav decided to partner with this artisan group and move manufacturing to India where they knew they could provide them with consistent work. We are happy to confirm that more than 9 years later, we are still working with this very same artisan group and over the years the quality of life for these workers has improved significantly. 100% Handcrafted Pewter, Mixed Metal, and Silver-plated Jewelry. Chokers, leather bracelets, rings, and jewelry crafted from re-purposed saris. Hand-carved block printed cotton bags with natural dyes. Ethically sourced horn jewelry.
