Portland-based Lucina Jewelry has been on our radar for a while as a company that tries to do right while it does well, producing jewelry by a number of US designers (like Portland’s Scarlet Chamberlin) crafted from fair-trade and handcrafted materials sourced in the developing world. Tomorrow (Wednesday) Shauna Mohr’s Lucina Jewelry and other members of Portland Young Women Social Entrepreneurs host a trunk show at 6 PM at souk (322 NW 6th Suite 200). A number of styles will be 20-50% off, and part of the proceeds of the event benefit Portland nonprofit Hands to Hearts International (which works with women and children in developing countries). Every dollar raised tomorrow for HHI will be matched by a grant from the James R. Greenbaum, Jr. Family Foundation. The bracelet above, one of their best sellers, is made from choclo beads from Colombia.
