Amber Chand Collection
|
The Amber Chand Collection: Global Gifts for Peace and Understanding is a mission-based enterprise that fully supports women in regions of conflict and post-conflict - as mothers, peace builders, entrepreneurs, and skilled artisans. This fall, the Amber Chand Collection is featuring the Kabul Necklace of Peace, created by Women for Women International program graduates in Afghanistan. This elegant necklace comes in an unusual translucent sea green color and is handcarved of faceted fluorite - a highly prized stone found in Afghanistan. Accented with sterling silver beads and a simple clasp, each necklace rests
|
beautifully at the base of the neck.
Each necklace is presented in a textured jewelry bag, specially sewn by our Iraq program graduates in the holy city of Karbala. Each bag is graced by a small silver “Remember Me” charm designed by Nadia Dajani for Women for Women International – a tribute to women living in these volatile regions of the world.
This is truly a beautiful gift that transcends borders and celebrates the courage and creativity of women who are faced with the grim, daily realities of war and civil strife. Visit www.amberchand.com to purchase the Kabul Necklace of Peace.
