These Handmade Beaded Bracelets Help People in Nicaragua
Jen Chae — August 1, 2013 — Social Good
Soul Stonez reminds people of the importance of unity in a fashionable way, through its beautifully handmade beaded bracelets. Toronto-based designer Edward Kim also donates a portion of Soul Stonez's proceeds to a church in Nicaragua. The idea started out as a way to unite mission team members at a small church; each high-quality Japanese stone bead signifying unity, faith and good health. This concept has since grown into a socially conscious business.
Each Japanese stone carries a certain meaning and healing quality. Combining different beads of different significant meanings, the designer creates a thoughtful accessory that is also aesthetically pleasing. The color and type of bead can be personally customized, to suit your taste and to address to your spiritual needs.
