India – Women from the slums make jewelry.

Sahayak, an artisan group in India provides work for women from the slums of Delhi. The group started out making handmade cards and wanted to move into jewelry making.

OneMaker trained the supervisor of the group in jewelry making skills and she, in turn, trained the artisans. OneMaker also provided inspirational designs for them, woven bracelets in real garnet stones and another in pearls. The group developed other beautiful pieces, including bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, using the same weave in many other kinds of stones, including black pearl and lapis lazulis.
