Silver necklace pangolin
The pangolin sometimes looks a bit like a big pine cone, but he is a mammal just like us. Well, maybe not quite like us: its tongue is longer than its body to smoothly catch ants and termites (as many as more than 80 per minute!). And its scaly skin, besides camouflage, is also an excellent protection against predators: it simply rolls up and predators can then do little more than look at it. The mama pangolin often takes a baby with her in her roll as well. Unfortunately, the scales don't always provide solace: this friendly rolling pangolin is seriously threatened by hunting for its scales and meat. He was in the spotlight for a while because he was referred to as the source of the coronavirus, but the sweet little animal turned out to have nothing to do with it.
With this finely-tiered necklace, you'll make sure it won't be forgotten.
Nina Designs is a jewelry brand with a heart of gold that makes fair trade jewelry in Thailand and Bali and tries to be as ethical and ecological as possible. Their wages are well above the national minimum wages, employees receive a thirteenth month, 3 months paid maternity leave, education on pre- and post-natal care, retirement savings, etc. In their studio in Bali, 50% of the managers are women, which is even more impressive there than here.
Nina Designs uses as much recycled silver as possible in its production in Bali and only recycled silver in its production in Thailand. A tree is planted per package shipped, which is part of a so-called "forest garden." The jeweler gives microloans to start-up craftswomen and supports various NGOs fighting for human rights, literacy or the environment. And, of course, their silversmiths make beautiful jewellery!
