about A Beautiful Story
The brand A Beautiful Story
A Beautiful Story is a Dutch Fair Trade jewellery brand that works with local producers in Nepal and India. The jewellery is handmade by small businesses, using traditional (silver) forging methods and basting and crocheting techniques. The three products that A Beautiful Story currently works with are: Beads for Life, Masala Beads and Artisan Workshop. The first two producers mainly produce jewellery with beads by women from a low caste or with an economic disadvantage. Artisan Workshop manufactures jewellery made of silver and other metals.
The Collection
At Sophie Stone you will find necklaces and bracelets from A Beautiful Story. Each item consists of a combination of (the colour) gold or silver with a certain type of gemstone. For example, a gold coloured necklace with a Labradorite pendant. Labradorite is a grey/green gemstone that is said to have a protective effect and also attracts success. Seven different gemstones have been used in this collection: labradorite (grey/green), tiger eye (brown), black onyx, lapis lazuli (blue), moonstone (white), chalcedony (turquoise) and carnelian (red/orange).
