Taking steps to protect nature’s gifts on Earth Day and every day

It Starts With Us

“In nature, nothing exists alone.” – Rachel Carson

Happy Earth Day 2019!

Today’s one of our favorite holidays!

Each year on April 22, events are held worldwide (in more than 193 countries) to demonstrate support for the Environment and its protection. Earth Day Network, the organization that leads Earth Day worldwide, has chosen as the theme “Protect Our Species” for 2019.

What does Earth Day have to do with Silpada?

At Silpada, we firmly believe all life has value and every creature has a unique role to play. We all need to take care of the Earth because it is our only home. Big or small actions can go a long way. We encourage not only individual action but fostering togetherness to achieve greater goals! Read specifics how Silpada supports environmental initiatives through our business practices below.

Hear From These STF Scholars About Their Favorite Subjects, Their Goals, and What Education Means to Them

She’s the First advocates for global education equality in local communities and around the world. Since launching in 2009, She’s the First has fought gender inequality by supporting girls who will be the first in their families to graduate high school. The program is currently active across 21 countries, including India, Uganda, Peru, and the United States.

For Silpada’s role, we chose to support Girl Power, a girls’ group chapter in India. Learn more about these scholars below.

Introducing Girl Power

The group of She’s the First Scholars that Silpada has partnered with is called Girl Power, located in India’s Shanti Bhavan Children’s Project. The group calls themselves Girl Power because they believe “we all have the power to do something!” Girl Power is made up of 20 female students who say that after graduation their dreams are to become teachers, dancers, business women, doctors, engineers, artists, leaders and beyond!

Silpada Partners with She’s The First

In honor of Women’s History Month, Silpada is thrilled to announce our support of She’s the First, a non-profit organization whose mission is to end gender inequality through education!

Why She’s the First

She’s the First advocates for global education equality in local communities and around the world. Since launching in 2009, She’s the First has fought gender inequality by supporting girls who will be the first in their families to graduate high school. The program is currently active across 21 countries, including India, Uganda, Peru, and the United States.

When it came to finding an organization to support, She’s the First was a natural choice for us because of our shared values, including female empowerment, gender equality, and being responsible to one’s community.

For Silpada’s role, we chose to support Girl Power, a girls’ group chapter of young STF Scholars in India, who chose this name for themselves!

Remember the days when wearing black and brown together was an absolute no? Many of us lived and died by this rule and others like, “no white after labor day”. But when it comes to recent style and trends, those rules are dead and gone.  

Years ago we were forced to choose between gold or silver because no one would wear both together (the horror!). Well some rules are just meant to be broken. Silpada celebrates uniqueness through artisan jewelry and we encourage you to embrace your own personal style, because being you will never go out of fashion.

Two-toned jewels, hand-crafted details and artisan designs are being celebrated & styled together to create something perfectly imperfect. We’re excited to share a few of our favorite mixed metal pieces + tips for creating a look you’ll love. Here are some styles you should add to your jewelry box now.
