Black Lotus Designs Details
Black Lotus Designs is the product of three creative, passionate individuals who wanted to start a socially and culturally responsible business. Although Black Lotus Designs is headquartered in the United States, our pearls start their journey 7,500 miles away in Suzhou, China. Caitlin was living and teaching English in China in 2006 and discovered a wonderful family of pearl farmers. This family grows, harvests, sorts, polishes and strings their own jewelry. After sending back jewelry to friends and family in the States, she realized what a huge demand there was for this product. After partnering with her friend, Kristina, and her mom, Kim, Black Lotus Designs was formed. Because of the items we sell, this family is able to make a much larger income. Caitlin is also able to continue her connection with China.Our goal is to provide beautiful, great quality pearl jewelry for a reasonable price, while continuing our commitment to conducting ethical fair trade with our partners in China. In addition, we are proud to have the opportunity to support organizations that are important to us. Since 2007, Black Lotus Designs has donated thousands of dollars of gift certificates, merchandise, and money to more than 30 community organizations across the United States. We also donate a percentage of our sales each month to a different charity or humanitarian cause. We enjoy being able to be socially responsible and also donate to causes that really can benefit from our donations.
