Fair trade jewellery pops up in Top Shop

Even as a 28 year old metrosexual London bloke I can't quite see myself wearing this necklace, but it's surely perfect for someone. It should be - in addition to the eye-catching design, it's made for Made in a Nairobi co-op by 'disadvantaged youths' (sounds like east Manchester) who get paid three times the minimum wage which is 2,886 Kenyan shillings a month (£21, a tad less than Beswick). The jewellery range also gains extra ethical points by virtue of including recycled glass and scavenged wood. I've asked Made for pricing; if you can't wait, get yourself down to Topshop on Oxford Street, where it's being sold right now. Weds update: this necklace's £35; the range starts at £25.

I agree with you, the piece displayed above is definitely good. You mentioned that the material used is recycled glass and scavenged wood, very unique and creative.
