Lotus & Pearl Jewelry
the Oasis Belgium handmade necklaces
Designed by Nhuy, Rafaële and Katana
Oasis is selling beautiful handmade pearl necklaces to support survivors of domestic abuse.
With every necklace that is bought we will be giving a set of pearl earrings to a woman that we work with.
The idea of the project came from our amazing volunteer Nhuy. She has been volunteering with Oasis for over a year and has directly supported many women we work with. Nhuy is a hugely talented and professional jewelry maker, who spoke to two of her friends Rafaële and Katana. She studied Jewelry making with them and shared about the idea of the project. Both were excited to use their skills to support these incredible survivors.
We decided to use the symbol of a lotus because it symbolizes a fresh start and a new beginning. We used Pearls because of the stone becomes even more beautiful when growing under pressure. These are messages that we want to share with the women we work with, that despite the challenges that they have been through, they continue to shine and be beautiful but mostly, that they have the opportunity for a fresh start and new beginning away from abuse.
Note: If you have trouble with payment processing, please email info@oasisbe.org and we’ll assist you to arrange an alternative payment method. Merci!
All of the jewelry pieces are made by hand in Antwerp. They are all made with real silver 925 and have real fresh water pearls.
Freshwater pearls are created in mussels or oysters in rivers, lakes or ponds and tend to be more irregular in shape and more varied in color than saltwater pearls.
The pendant/necklace with the large pearl ranges in size from 15mm to 17mm this is because all of the pearls are natural.
