Description
Pippa has spent the last 15 years working with the brilliant artisans of Afghanistan. Her most recent project has been a collaboration with our team in Kabul to Launch Zindagi Now, A New Life. This initiative provides a safe and creative space for Afghan women to make jewellery and develop business skills – giving them a newfound sense of confidence and hope. Together we have so far supported 69 women, and by purchasing this necklace for yourself or a loved one, you can help us support many more.
100% of all profits will go directly to the female artisans of Zindagi Now, giving hope and a future to women in Afghanistan.

Pippa Small holds the firm conviction that the importance of safe and creative jobs, reinforcing a sense of cultural identity and tradition through jewellery, is hugely important. In so many parts of the world there are so few opportunities and a complex mix of the impacts of climate change and conflict that is forcing people from their homes. A job, and giving a sense of pride and accomplishment, provides vital alternatives.
Each piece is handmade by artisans through one of the many foundations and communities she works with across the world, this includes – the arts foundation, Turquoise Mountain in Afghanistan, Myanmar and Jordan. She also works with artisans in Bolivia and Panama.
