These earrings have been handcrafted by women who are part of a large co-operative in Nepal called Third World Crafts.  Their business model is simple, the co-operative provides needed raw material and training to home based women and artisans who make  finished products and deliver back to the co-operative. They are paid immediately with  fair remuneration and a yearly bonus. In each location they have group leader who manages raw materials collection , distribution and delivery back.  She gets a little more wages/commission for doing the managerial work.
