Almost every girl loves jewelry! A statement necklace, simple stud earring, or layered set of bangles-each has the potential to perfectly complete or transform your outfit. What if in addition to adding beauty to your wardrobe, your jewelry could improve the quality of life for other women and their children? “Fashion that creates economic opportunity for the vulnerable”…that is the mission at Noonday Collection. If your jewelry could fight against poverty and injustice, wouldn’t that make everyone feel a little more beautiful…on the inside and out?
Last year I commented on a friend’s necklace. It was gorgeous! The story behind it was even more breath taking. I then learned that Noonday Collection works with 2000 artisans in over 10 underdeveloped countries, providing them with a fair wage and an opportunity to provide for their families. In one country, jewelry is made by a group of “outcast” HIV positive men and women who find a new sense of dignity when they are given a job, a fair wage, and medications to treat their illness. Artillery is melted down and turned into masterful pieces of art, taking something meant for evil and turning it into something beautiful…what a gorgeous concept!
When fashion can improve lives by putting food on the table, placing orphans in loving homes, and empowering women through meaningful and fair employment who wouldn’t want to spend their money where it makes a significant difference. For more about the Noonday Collection story, check out their website. Each piece of jewelry has a unique story. Each story is attached to a life impacted by this organization.

I love how that these women get to express themselves through jewelry, but also get to support their families and earn fair wages.
It is amazing that creativity allows them to support their families!
When you empower women, you empower the world! Noonday helps give women in difficult circumstances the means to support their families, the dignity to hold their heads high, and the ability to pass the skills they learn on to others. What could be better?! The fact that the end result is fashion forward fair trade jewelry is just icing on an already sweet cake.
🙂 love your thoughts!
I love the way Noonday empowers women. As an advocate for adoption, I am also an advocate for first families. Giving women an income and purpose is a huge part of encouraging them to support their family and children!
so true!
I think that this is so important a way for women to help women! Such a touching story and great company! Beautiful pieces as well!

I love this! My two youngest siblings are adopted from Ethiopia and one of them has HIV (and so does their mother who still lives in Ethiopia). Providing work and purpose and hope is SO SO SO important!
That is amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your story! My heart always warms when I hear what other families have done to help those who are less fortunate. What a blessing!
I think it is important to empower women (and men) across the world. The ability to make choices can greatly impact someones life.
I really like that it allows people to be able to create for themselves which has an exponential effect on their lives and those around them by something as simple as making a craft and selling it.
so true!
Thank you for introducing me to so many new products! Love this jewelry. 🙂
I love sharing new finds! so much fun to tell other women about cool companies that are doing great things! Stay tuned…I’ve got some more coming up!
