More New Far Fetched Designs

Last month we introduced new designs by Far Fetched from their Mima & Oly line.

We've added four new pieces, including the dog in doghouse necklace pictured here, as well as matching earrings. Turtle lovers will adore our sea turtle necklace and matching earrings.

Jewelry from the Mima & Oly line are made of a copper, nickel and zinc alloy. The chains are silver plated over brass, and earwires are silver plated over surgical steel. We think they look as good as the Far Fetched sterling silver pieces, and at a much more affordable price.

New Mima & Oly Designs from Far Fetched

Brand new! Far Fetched has introduced a new collection of fun jewelry - including necklaces, bracelets and earrings - through its Mima and Oly line.

These new pieces look as great as their silver pieces. They are made of copper, nickel and zinc alloy. The chains are silver plated over brass; the earwires are silver plated over surgical steel.

We currently carry the following:

All my children have paws necklace, All my children have paws heart necklace, All my children have paws dog necklace, All my children have paws cat necklace, Bumble bee necklace, Cat and dog earrings, Live Love Bark dog cuff bracelet, and Live Love Meow cat cuff bracelet.

We also offer a new line from Zarah, called Zarlite.

Far Fetched Back in Stock

We added two new Far Fetched styles to our animal lover collection - owl earrings (pictured here); and bee with beehive earrings.

We love Far Fetched not only for their whimsical jewelry, but also because they are made in a fair trade setting by Taxco, Mexico artisans. If you aren't already familiar with fair trade, I encourage you to read about it on the Fair Trade Federation website.

The pieces are .925 sterling silver, and many also include copper and brass. And because of the care that goes into creating each piece, no two are exactly alike.

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

There's still time to get a special Mother's Day Gift - and without breaking the bank. Here are a few suggestions we think you might like.

Give Flowers. Sure, you could give Mom a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers. And if you do, please consider purchasing Fair Trade or locally grown flowers.

Or, you can give her floral jewelry, which will last much longer than real flowers. We have a nice selection of earrings with a flower or garden theme: Zinnia, Black-eyed Susan, Bleeding Heart, Iris, Monarch Butterfly, Dragonfly, Sunflower and more. Priced between $10.50 and $14.50 , these earrings are a super value.

Inspire Her. Everyone, even Mothers, like to be inspired. A sterling silver bracelet, pin or pair of earrings is something she could wear that can not only serve to inspire, but remind her of you. We have a large selection of inspirational jewelry with quotes like Well behaved women rarely make history , Be the change you wish to see in the world, and You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

Does She Love Animals? Or is she a Mom to kids of the furry, feathered or scaled kind? We have a huge selection of animal lover gifts that would be appropriate as a Mother's Day gift. Whether she loves birds, cats, dogs, horses, or other animal, we have something special: Bags and totes, jewelry, home decor and many more.

Purchasing Power - Fair Trade Certified

For the second in our installment on trustworthy seals, we will touch on what it means to be a member of the Fair Trade Federation. Our first segment was on the Leaping Bunny seal.

The Fair Trade Federation issues its seal of approval to manufacturers and others, who offer wares in a variety of categories, including home decor, gifts, clothing and jewelry, to name a few. One example of a Fair Trade Federation member is Far Fetched Imports, whose .925 sterling silver jewelry we sell in our store.

The main goal of fair trade is to ensure equity within international trading partnerships. Fair Trade Federation members are required to follow a set of guidelines, which includes ensuring workers receive, among other things, fair pay and safe workplaces; and that environmental stewardship is promoted.

Another similar certification program is Fair Trade Certified, issued by Trans Fair USA. You may have seen their seals on a number of products, including fair trade coffee, cocoa and body care products.

Having the seal adds a separate layer of trust for consumers. But not having the seal doesn't necessarily mean a US-based company doesn't treat its global workers fairly.

Look for our next installment on trustworthy seals.

New Far Fetched Added

I love Far Fetched for different reasons, one of them being that their jewelry is a superb value. Whimsical animal and inspirational designs coupled with outstanding craftsmanship and top of the line metals, including .925 silver. All at affordable prices.

Another reason to love Far Fetched jewelry is for their work ethics. Their jewelry is designed in California, and produced in Taxco, Mexico by trained artisans in a cottage industry setting. As a member of the Fair Trade Federation, Far Fetched wants the people who create their jewelry to be treated and compensated fairly.

This makes for guilt-free shopping on different levels.

We've added several animal lover jewelry pieces from the Far Fetched line, including:

• Starlight Cat Earrings
• Playful Cat Pin
