The women in the coop support themselves and their families by making beautiful beaded jewelry. Each piece of jewelry is unique woven together one bead at a time handcrafted over many hours and made from glass seed beads shells Swarovski crystals semi-precious stones and pearls. The play of texture color and light reflects the centuries old Mayan heritage which they bring to their designs. All the proceeds (100%) from the jewelry sales go directly to the women. The Isla women are enormously appreciative of our efforts to help them be self-sufficient economically. When we started to work with these women there were 8 women in the cooperative. Now there are over 50 women in the cooperative benefiting from these sales! Isla Mujeres Women's Beading Co-op. https://www.facebook.com/IslaMujeresBeadingCoop
