My vision for the future:
1. Creating a US-based artisan manufacturing facility that trains low-income women to make jewelry and pays a fair wage.
2. Taking one piece from a handmade artist and helping that artist produce a limited quantity run of that item
3. Creating a line of products in conjunction with Aid to Artisans (this could be immediate and the production of collaboration lines could use this organization)
4. Become a B Corporation
All manufacturing will be done via fair trade.

Immediately at a launch customers will have the ability to select a charity to donate to. The following charities will be in the mix:
- ASPCA (animal cause)
- Aid to Artisans
- Surfrider
