The necklace has been worn less than 10 times. Like brand new. I paid way over $100 for this necklace at Neiman Marcus. With every purchase Akola reinvests 100% of profits to empower families in poverty. At Akola, they continuously inspire a team of brave women in Uganda who have nothing and courageously work and give everything. I hope this expression of courage inspires you to share your fearlessness with the world and the jewelry serves as a daily reminder of the brave individual that you are. This necklace features recycled glass, bone, and gold accent pieces. (Please see the pictures about descriptions related to the glass and bone) Akola is a globally-inspired jewelry brand, creating beautiful designs to lift up women around the world. The name means “she works” in a local Ugandan dialect. We provide life-changing job opportunities through vertically-integrated manufacturing, employing women in Uganda to make each Akola piece. The impact model is driven by meaningful job creation. When a woman is employed by Akola, she is more likely to keep her kids in school, gain the skills to generate additional income, and operate as a leader in her community. Akola creates jobs that help women rebuild inner confidence, strength, and the determination to realize their full potential.
