Kantha Azure Jewelry Line

Your favorite Kantha jewelry is now available in gorgeous shades of Azure blue! Thoughtfully crafted from repurposed Kantha & Sari textiles sorted into shades of blue. Each piece is slightly different. Sustainably handmade by women artisans in India.
Kantha quilts are a traditional textile found in abundance in India. They are made from layers of worn cotton saris, sewn together with a distinctive, allover running stitch. Artisans transform the fabric scraps into beads for jewelry, which provides new life to a textile that is often discarded. Each Kantha bead has a base made of wood, carved out of scraps gathered from a local furniture factory. We, and the artisans, love sustainable sourcing! Artisans then hand cover each wooden bead with a colorful piece of Kantha fabric, attaching them securely with a safe adhesive. Excess fabric is trimmed off, and the bead is complete.
