Eden Committed Necklace

Together with women who have been freed from human trafficking, Eden creates precious jewellery that carries their story.

Be Light. Bring Hope. Share Love.

Eden's Committed Necklace is our signature piece. When you purchase this, you are in fact buying two necklaces because the inner heart is given to a woman the Eden team meets on outreach.

The 1.1" circular diameter pendant and chain are made of black hematite and 18K gold-plated stainless steel. The chain is available in 18" and 32" each with a 1.3" extension.

The Committed necklace is handmade with hope by rescued women and designed to connect an advocate like you to a woman like Thinzar.

Thinzar met the Eden Outreach team in a filthy, back alley brothel in a very poor slum. The delicate heart pendant we placed around her neck seemed so out of place in this dark, dilapidated place. Thinzar’s eyes lit up when we shared that, somewhere in the world, the woman who wore the outside half of Thinzar’s necklace was thinking of her. We then whispered a promise of hope that we will take care of all the barriers keeping her from escaping. We will answer her phone call, provide her with a place to go, pay her taxi fare, and open up the future for her. Two days after meeting Thinzar, the Outreach phone rang. She had escaped!

Thirty minutes later, she arrived at Eden with her half of the Committed necklace around her neck…

Eden’s programs are based in South-East Asia which is host to more than half of the global total of human trafficking victims.

In 2014 Eden began its programs in Myanmar, a nation that has been a hotbed for human trafficking for years. Political instability, natural disasters, and internal ethnic infighting have led to a devastating lack of opportunity for the people of Myanmar.

Poverty and political unrest are at the heart of Myanmar's human trafficking crisis, which has only grown more severe over recent years. The economic collapse, brought on by the pandemic and political crisis, has exacerbated the level of human trafficking and the need for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other not-for-profit organizations like Eden to fill this void and provide essential support to victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

Through a relationship-focused and trauma-informed approach to programming, Eden is able to reach both individuals at high risk of trafficking and victims of human trafficking in the red-light districts of Yangon, and Northern and Eastern Shan state. This access has allowed Eden to identify and assist previously unknown victims of human trafficking, as well as collect vital migration tracking data. This unique design of programming is proven to address the root cause of their trafficking by reducing re-trafficking rates and facilitating sustainable reintegration after program graduation.

All profits from our jewelry sales directly benefit the women at Eden and support the following programs:

• Outreach 
• Drop-in Centers
• Emergency Shelters 
• Trauma Counseling
