Mala + Mantra collection inspired by birthstone traditions
Mala + Mantra, a jewellery and lifestyle brand, has launched a line of birthstone necklaces for retail in spas and resorts.
The Birthstone Gem Collection, which debuted in September, consists of 14 karat gold-plated bezel pendant necklaces for each of the 12 birthstones.
It was inspired by founder Judith Compton's love for birthstone jewellery as a child.
"I've always been intrigued by the tradition and story behind birthstones," she says. "As a child I held dear the pieces of birthstone jewellery my parents gave me.
The pieces are handcrafted in the Philippines by female artisans in a fair trade co-operative, which provides a sustainable way for the women to support themselves, gives them a safe working environment, and ensures they are compensated fairly for their work.
