Globally, there are an estimated 49.6 million people trapped in modern slavery. Thiri used to be one of them after being trafficked into a foreign country at twelve years old. She was sold to over 20 men a day until she bravely ran for freedom at sixteen.

At Eden, she received the trauma counseling and vocational training needed to start a new life. This jewelry collection was inspired by the courage it took for her to sew her heart back together, piece by piece, after suffering under so many broken promises and abuse.

Each piece is delicately hand-sewn to create a beautiful tapestry, representing the hardship and beauty gathered up inside the hearts of Eden women that make them who they are – vulnerable yet strong, courageous in the face of fear, and full of hope.

Our hope that these pieces will inspire you to gather the pieces of your heart and find the courage to rise, perhaps still a little broken, and journey again.

Properly caring for your Eden jewellery will ensure a longer wear life. Follow these simple guidelines, and you can enjoy your jewellery for years to come. Avoid wet environments. Do not wear into the shower or store in humid places. Apply lotions, makeup, hairspray, and perfume before putting on your jewellery. Avoid contact with household cleaning products.

CARING FOR STERLING SILVER JEWELLERY

Sterling silver jewellery is marked with a 925 stamp. Polish sterling silver pieces with a jewelry polishing cloth. If more attention is needed, immerse in a solution of warm water and mild dishwashing liquid and gently hand wash. A soft toothbrush can also be used for more abrasive cleaning when needed. Thoroughly rinse and completely dry the silver before storing, as moisture contributes to tarnishing. Never clean your jewelry in bleach. If the jewelry contains gemstones or pearls, do not submerge the entire piece into the water. Instead, use a cotton swab with mild dishwashing liquid to wash only the silver.

Note: These instructions are not for silver plated items.
Please see the next section for plated items.

CARING FOR GOLD PLATED STAINLESS STEEL JEWELLERY OR SILVER PLATED JEWELLERY

To clean your gold plated jewellery at home, use a non-abrasive jewellery cleaner that is safe for plated parts or a mild soap and water. Use a soft cloth to clean the item carefully. After cleaning, rinse with lukewarm water and allow it to dry completely.
Buffing your plated jewellery with a soft cloth is an effective and inexpensive way to keep your pieces lustrous.

Note: Do not use a jewelry polishing cloth, as this can damage the finish.

CARING FOR BRASS JEWELLERY

To return brass to its original shine, make a paste of baking soda, water, and lemon juice and gently rub it onto the piece with a soft cloth. Wash the mixture off using running water, then dry and buff with a clean cloth.

CARING FOR STAINLESS STEEL JEWELLERY

To clean stainless steel jewellery, pour warm water into a small bowl, and add mild dish washing soap. Dip a soft, lint-free cloth into the soapy water, and gently wipe the stainless steel jewellery with the damp cloth until the piece is clean. When cleaning it, rub the item along its polish lines. Wipe remaining soap off jewellery using a moist cloth dipped in clean water. Dry jewellery well with a clean towel, and then leave to air dry. After it is clean, a jewellery polishing cloth can be used to shine it.
