Ananda means Bliss in Sanskrit. Ananda Soul Creations founded by Designer Christina Zipperlen is committed to helping create a blissful world through the work they do and the jewelry they produce. Their creations are handcrafted by local Indonesian artisans made from recycled Sterling Silver and 22kt Gold Vermeil. Every person involved in their production is treated like family – with fair wages, health care, weekly yoga, and lots of love. Ananda Soul Creations only works with conscious stone suppliers and trace the source of their gemstones as far back as possible, guaranteeing 100% natural stones. 10% of all profit goes towards empowering Balinese street children & their mothers and towards helping prevent child trafficking in Indonesia. In the center for street children, the moms make the pieces for their Senang collection while their kids go to school for free and receive a daily healthy lunch.
