In Celebration: International Women's Day

Let's talk about women.

They're amazing.

The first person you ever knew was a woman. The first person who kissed you, who fed you, who cleaned and dressed you: a woman. You learned at an early age to go to women when you feel bad, when you get hurt, when you need comforting and love.

That's because women have so much to give. They are the nurturers, the ones who always seem to have time. Mothers, sisters, aunts, lovers, women are special to each of us.

Women do the work of bearing and raising babies. They are miracle workers, bringing forth civilized human beings out of nothing. Women maintain homes, transforming them from dwellings to places of joy and comfort. And often, women use their gifts of harmony and beauty to create other things: jewelry, clothes, fragrant gardens.

That's why Janeo loves making jewelry. The soft skin of a woman is the perfect complement to sparkling jewelry; only a woman is strong enough to not be overpowered by brilliant Swarovsky crystal.

We love to see sparkling silver and gemstones sharing the same light as the gleam from a beautiful woman's eyes, lips, and hair.

We are honored when a woman chooses one of our creations to adorn her body with. She is the expert in beauty, after all; when she wears something we made, it is the most genuine compliment possible.

And because it takes a woman to understand what other women really, truly love, Janeo purchases beautiful original creations from women around the world, women who work to keep their homes welcoming and beautiful, who work to raise honorable and loving children, women who must work to keep their families together.

It is an honor to contribute in some small fashion to the success of women throughout the world.

We want to share that honor with our customers. Janeo is creating a fair trade product section, a product range including items hand-crafted by women all over the world, women like you who need nothing but a chance. Your purchases from that collection will support small women-owned business in the poorest countries, places where women work just as hard as you do and sometimes harder but do not have the good fortune of living in a wealthy country.

Please, share your love just one more time, this time by helping another woman. We are strong individually. But when women work together, the foundations of the world can change.
