Desert Sunrise Necklace- Teal
Shine a light in the world with this ethically made necklace, created from 18K gold-plated stainless steel pendant and chain. 16" with 1.3" extension chain. Each item you purchase from Eden gives back to anti trafficking causes in Myanmar.
The Desert Flower Collection was inspired by the resiliency of women like May Yu Zin who come to Eden after experiencing immense disappointments and trauma. They are like the desert flowers that miraculously flourish in the harshest conditions.
May Yu Zin was one of eight siblings. Her family could never afford to send her to school, although she desperately wanted to go. Leaving her first love back in the village to pursue work in the city, she was disappointed over and over again by poorly paid jobs. After discovering her boyfriend married another girl, a heartbroken May Yu Zin was enticed by an old friend with an attractive job offer. Luckily, the border police intercepted the trafficking attempt, and May Yu Zin found her way to Eden. Suffering from PTSD, she pushed everyone away at first. But May Yu Zin eventually flourished in counseling, entered a prestigious vocational training program, and made friends with fellow trainees.
Women like May Yu Zin must work to overcome so much, and yet they bring great joy to a desolate place just like the bursts of pink, purple, and orange found in the most remote desert environments.
