What’s missing? Don’t forget to accessorize your look! Even the sharpest of outfits can be pulled together even more with the right jewelry. However, it can be difficult to find fair trade, eco-friendly and conflict-free jewelry just by shopping at your favorite department store. To help you out, we’ve curated a list of the top eco-friendly women’s jewelry from fair trade earrings to hoop earrings to gold earrings for you to shop from. Most are earrings, but there are a few surprises on the list as well! Here are our top choices for fair trade, earth-friendly jewelry for women.

1. Ten Thousand Villages

Ten Thousand Villages Delicate Edge Earrings

Type of Jewelry | Delicate Edge Earrings
Jewelry Earring Benefits | Eco-Friendly, Fair Trade, Supports Small Business, Ethically Sourced
Earring Material | Bone, Gold-Colored Brass

The first piece on our list of the top fair trade women’s earrings is this Ten Thousand Villages review. We’ve mentioned Ten Thousand Villages in previous articles on Citrus Sleep. The group is one of the most ethical, earth-friendly and responsible out there, choosing to feature fair trade, handmade items ranging from jewelry like this to wall décor and even kids’ games.

Every product in the Ten Thousand Villages catalog is made by artisans around the globe, including the Delicate Edge Earrings. These gold earrings are made from brass and bone, but don’t worry that these earrings aren’t ethical. The bone is sourced from the by-products associated with food production local to where the earrings are handcrafted in India. You’ll love the soft look of these dangle earrings. A teardrop shaped bone dangle is emphasized by a metallic accent, and is brushed in a soft green. We think this is the perfect finishing touch to your favorite beach party outfit.

As an earth-conscious shopper, you strive to shop brands which give back through donations, awareness efforts and a commitment to sustainability.

Brooke Mullen, while travelling in Thailand, fell in love with the artisan crafted, handmade art that was created by local talent. These artisans were dependent upon their craft to survive but, of course, they faced many market challenges against large corporations. As a result, Mullen launched Sapahn, Thai for “bridge,” and committed to serving as a bridge between underprivileged artisans and an accessible marketplace.

The Naomi Half Moon Earrings are handcrafted by the Karen Hill Tribe, a Thai community known for intricate weavings. These earrings, however, are just as intricate, featuring a half moon shape with delicate detail and made from premium silver.

Type of Jewelry | Cage Earrings
Jewelry Earring Benefits | Recycled, Reclaimed Materials, Woman-Owned Business
Earring Material | Recycled Glass, Silver Plated Steel

We’ve chosen to feature this Bottled Up Designs review for two reasons. First, we think these cage earrings are just lovely. Secondly, however, we love the story of the art, and of the artist. The look is cute, of course, but we think you’ll be pleased that your purchase supports these local fair trade artisans. These cage earrings are handmade by an artist in the heart of Amish Country, Pennsylvania. Laura Bergman, a self-proclaimed “reclaim artist,” finds old, discarded and broken bottles in America’s woodlands. From those bottles she creates vivid and stunning jewelry that rivals natural gemstones.

We adore that each pair of the Bottled Up Designs Cage Earrings you buy comes with a story card stating the history of the glass. Whether it’s a blue glass from broken World War II Mason jars or a deep cobalt from 1900s Noxzema bottles, you’ll learn the history of your earrings. Of course, you’ll also feel great that your jewelry helped make the world a cleaner place.
