This lovely Luna pendant features a hammered brass star and a crescent moon hand carved from tagua, the seed from a type of palm that's often referred to as vegetable ivory. It makes a lovely gift or self purchase for any age, especially the spiritually and ethically minded.
Why we love it
Just Trade works in partnership with fair trade artisans across the world to create hand made contemporary fashion jewellery for the ethically minded.
The moon charm is hand carved from a tagua nut, a seed from a type of palm that grows in the South American rainforests. Often known as vegetable ivory, tagua is an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to animal ivory. A nut is selected that is as close to the desired finished shape as possible, which is then formed using a variety of sanding processes and polished to achieve a smooth surface.
The brass star charm is handmade by the Flowering Desert Project which provides training and fairly paid work for women from rural communities in Tamil Nadu, India. The women started as a group of 7 and have developed in to an incredible team of 40. The initial team were trained back in 2010 and since then have been passing on their metal making knowledge and skills to new members.
The necklace is hand finished and packaged in London. Chain approximately 18" (46cm) long with claw clasp. Comes mounted on a recyclable card detailing the fair trade nature of the product.

The coasters are excellent quality, a really lovely design, and really reasonably priced. They were shipped and delivered quickly and just an all 'round positive experience and purchase.
I can't comment on the actual products I ordered because they were all gifts, but the packaging is good and everything attractive. The order came quickly. There is such a huge choice on the website I will certainly be using it again.
Always loved these bags and now have found one which is kind to the earth and looks so cheery and can be taken anywhere with all the goodies or everyday essentials if you're not using for groceries etc.
