Respect and preserve are two words that are at the core of Sophia Jane Jewelry. Salomon Aliser, founder of Sophia Jane, handmakes the jewelry from seeds collected in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil. Natives of the region — who are paid a fair wage– sustainably harvest the seeds while respecting the natural growing seasons.
Sophia Jane’s social impact is profound: They provide natives of the Amazon a fair, living wage while respecting and preserving the beautiful and biodiverse Amazon Jungle.
With the holidays just around the corner, these statement-making, responsibly sourced pieces will please any lady on your list.
