Made By Survivors Jewelry has a new name, Relevée. The artisans at the Made By Survivors Jewelry Centers requested a name change for the jewelry line. The wanted a name that reflected fashion and moved away from their survivor status, as they have moved away from being identified as survivors to women with secure and financially stable careers.
Relevée means ‘to rise up’ in French. Our artisans are upliftd and uplifiting others. They have trained to become some of the first women goldsmiths in South Asia. Their skill guarantees them a place in a respected profession, earning a middle class wage that transforms their lives and families. The stunning jewelry they make empowers them to get free and remain free forever from poverty and exploitation.
100% of proceeds of Relevée go to Made By Survivors, a tax-exempt charity serving women and children. Made By Survivors gives survivors of human rights abuses a safe and loving place to heal and rebuild their lives with shelter, education, job training, and employment programs. Relevée jewelry helps pay for all of these projects, making you, and the world we share, ever more beautiful inside and out.
The Relevée jewelry dreamed up with freedom, beauty, and modern style in mind. Style to make you feel beautiful, inside and out.
