Mini Clover Heart Studs
The Mini Clover Heart Studs are a subtle yet striking design inspired by the delicate shape of a clover leaf and the timeless symbol of the heart. Hand-embroidered in soft olive green threads, framed with crystals and finished with repurposed copper wire, these earrings balance artisanal tradition with contemporary elegance.
Lightweight and versatile, they are perfect for everyday wear while still making a sophisticated statement. These unique handcrafted earrings are designed for women who love to express their style with modern accessories that are casual yet undeniably chic.
Each pair is part of a small-batch crafted jewelry collection, handmade by women artisans in El Salvador under fair trade principles, making them one-of-a-kind accessories that carry both beauty and meaning.

58% of the people that live in rural areas in El Salvador live in overcrowded conditions. When there is overcrowding in families, there is a higher risk of certain problems occurring, such as domestic violence, family disintegration, poor school performance, among others.
300 SALVADORANS TRY TO MIGRATE TO THE UNITED STATES DAILY DUE TO LACK OF WORK OPPORTUNITIES.
When Lula Mena began working in rural communities, many of the young women wanted to immigrate to the United States. Now that they have seen that there is an opportunity for a better life in their community, their perception of immigration has changed. They feel more confident that they will be able to provide for their families without having to leave the country. We want to continue to grow in order to offer more young adults the opportunity to work with us and avoid immigration.
One of the major challenges we faced when we began working with women was gaining the approval of their husbands. Most of the husbands and family members worried that the women would not be able to work and meet the household’s responsibilities.
Now, their husbands prepare dinner, take care of the children, and offer them support. There is still a strong sexist culture, “machismo”, in rural areas of El Salvador that we are trying to change by empowering women.
