Rainforest Seed Earrings

Everyday Earrings -

These earrings combine rainforest seeds, stone chips and Czech Glass into a never ending variety of colors and styles. Posts are surgical stainless steel.

With hundreds of tree and plant species, Costa Rica is a botanical wonderland.

Unfortunately, many of the forests are being cleared for timber and pasture land.

Women of the Cloud Forest has created a line of jewelry that celebrates this diversity and provides economic incentives to protect the forests.

Located high in the in the Guancaste Mountain range of Costa Rica, Women of the Cloud Forest is a Fair Trade project dedicated to offering opportunities to rural women and their families. The 70 women in the project produce hand-embroidered bags and jewelry made from rainforest seeds. The project allows the women to work at home at their own pace and be able to care for their families.

The women who participate in the project live across the Monteverde region - from "downtown" Santa Elena to two hours away in Cabezeras. Women of the Cloud Forest operates a small "Arts Center" where women gather together to take free classes in embroidery and produce rainforest seed jewelry.
