Necklaces

Celebrate Diversity with Unique Necklaces Our collection features one-of-a-kind necklaces made in styles influenced by the culture of the artisans who craft them. Every piece has been handcrafted by artisans from India, Bangladesh, Colombia, Cambodia, and beyond. From the design to the materials, each necklace proudly displays the tradition, history, and diverse heritage of the artisan who made it. Best of all, your purchase helps to directly impact the maker of the piece by sustaining their fair trade employment. Poverty is a massive global issue. As founders of the maker-to-market movement, we partner with fair trade artisan groups that employ makers from underserved communities. Our partners provide safe working conditions and pay fair wages, improving quality of life for thousands of makers around the world. Sustainable Material Options Whether you want to add a pop of color to your wardrobe or tie an outfit together, shop responsibly at Ten Thousand Villages.

The Impact of Ethically Sourced Fashion When it comes to sustainable fashion, we often talk about clothing and textiles. However, ethical fashion includes jewelry, purses, and more. What makes our necklace collection ethical is the way each item is sourced and produced. All of the items we sell at Ten Thousand Villages are ethically sourced, cruelty-free, and are sustainable for a healthy and happy planet. When you shop at Ten Thousand Villages, whether it’s for clothing, jewelry, or home decor, you can rest assured you’re supporting the maker-to-market movement and fair trade enterprises.
