The Seeds of Hope Necklace is handmade by artisans in Chile. The only beads on this necklace are the tiny black spacer beads. The rest of the beads are actually seeds that create enough diversity to give each necklace its unique beauty. Artisans are paid a fair wage as part of an income generation project in Chile. The necklace is 52 inches long and has no clasp.

COMPARTE (Comercializadora de Productos Artesanales Exportables) is a non-profit organization that exports Chilean handicrafts around the world. As members of IFAT, Comparte's mission is to improve the standard of living for owners and employees of Chilean handicraft workshops, by promoting and exporting various handmade products of the highest quality, while supporting these same artisans through technical and product development assistance programs. Purchasing COMPARTE products helps improve the living conditions of their artisans and craftsmen by paying fair prices and stimulating justice in the workplace of the developing world.
