Porcupine quill earrings with hematites
You can have nice jewellery and fabulous designs and not pay over the odds yet buy with peace of mind. Knowing that your necklace, earrings or bracelet have been made by a skilled artisan with love for his or her profession and using traditional methods. You can also rest assured that the precious stones used in your jewellery have either been recycled from “old” jewellery or mined with care and respect for the environment.
At Cebra we only buy jewellery from sources that have been inspected and are rigorously monitored making sure that work conditions are the same as you would expect them here in the West. That no child labour is involved and that precious metals and stones have not been mined by carelessly ripping open wounds into landscapes.
