At Black Raven Beads, we believe in creating something meaningful, not just something to sell. Every bead we offer tells a story—crafted by hand, infused with love, and designed to carry your unique journey. That’s why we don’t participate in Black Friday. Our handcrafted jewellery isn’t marked up to be marked down; it is priced fairly.

More importantly, our work is about sustainability, artistry, and supporting the incredible individuals behind every creation.

The Heart of Our Work: Ethical Entrepreneurship

Every bead you own reflects the dignity of ethical craftsmanship. Our silver production is in Bali, which is known for its rich culture and artistic tradition. Working directly with local artisans ensures sustainable practices that respect people.

This commitment means that when you purchase a Black Raven Bead, you’re not only choosing something stunning, but you’re also empowering a community. These artisans aren’t just workers but partners in our mission to create something truly meaningful. Your support helps them build better lives for their families, preserve centuries-old techniques, and find pride in their craft.

Loyalty Rewards That Reflect Our Values

Rather than jumping into the frenzy of Black Friday, we show gratitude in ways that align with our principles. Our promotions and loyalty program is designed to give back, ensuring both you and our artisans feel appreciated:

• With our Celebrate Life Gift Box loyalty reward offer, you can unlock a 15% loyalty discount year-round when purchasing eight items.

• A Starter bracelet (bracelet+lock promotion) featuring two free oak leaf brass stoppers is available until 12 December 2024.

• A Christmas Bells bead in brass, gifted with purchases of €125 or more, spreading holiday cheer while reflecting our dedication to thoughtful giving. Available from 29 November until 14 December 2024.

These promotions are thoughtfully curated to enhance your experience while maintaining our commitment to sustainability and fairness. The promotions may be combined and are also available at our authorized dealers.

The Beauty of Ethical Craftsmanship

Handmade jewellery is a labour of love, and the process behind each bead reflects this. Our artisans handcraft each piece over 20 steps—from the initial design sketch to the final polish. This artistry ensures that every bead is a work of beauty and a symbol of respect for the people who create it.

By not participating in Black Friday, we honour their work and its value to your life. For us, ethical entrepreneurship means prioritizing integrity, craftsmanship, and sustainable impact.

Join Us in Choosing Mindfulness Over Madness

This season, we invite you to embrace mindful shopping. With Black Raven Beads, you’re not just buying jewellery but supporting a movement toward ethical business. Your choices have the power to create change, bring light to the lives of artisans, and cherish traditions worth preserving.

As Gandhi once said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” By supporting Black Raven Beads, you’re part of that change. Let’s build a world where beauty and ethics coexist—one handcrafted bead at a time.

With love,

Frank & the Black Raven Beads team
