The Alegria Story
on Mar 07 2022
On March 2nd, Jazmin and Kidian started their training at Alegria! As with all of our artisans, they grew up at Faith Home and are now transitioned out as young adults. And we are THRILLED to welcome them to our Alegria family!
Our dream is the day when every woman from Faith Home that wants a job at Alegria, can have one, and this month we are now 5 women strong towards this goal.
Jazmin and Kidian are working part-time now, but as we continue to partner with more boutiques and stores, and our Joy-Creators keep sharing our story and jewelry so our personal sales stay strong, we will be able to offer them a full-time contract.
Thanks be to God for His goodness to us and for the 5 women who have taken a leap of faith to start a job at Alegria. And are blessing us with their talents in creating joyful jewelry! As they are blessed with a job with generous wages in a safe environment.

Love is watching American Joy-Creators take action, putting their shopping, their fashion, their gifting, and even their social media into the mission of creating jobs for women who grew up in a children’s home called Faith Home in Honduras.
Your continuing shopping, wearing and sharing drives us to create pieces you will be so excited to receive. And look what that shopping has done:
* 40 hour work weeks for our 3 founding artisans!
* Our first dedicated office and design and work space in Honduras!
* Wholesaling opportunities for boutiques!
Let’s take a journey through the new Love Is Collection with it’s silver, gold, rich blue lapis lazuli and jade, soft feminine rose quartz, warm sunstone, geometric and floral beading, and trending as well as classic styles. And each name comes from 1Corinthians 13.
Love Is…admired. (not proud or boastful, jealous or rude)
Love is enduring (it is always hopeful and endures through every circumstance)
Love is forever (three things will last forever - faith, hope, and love - and the greatest of these is love)
Love is relentless. (It never gives up, never loses faith)
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love is humble.
Yes Love Is!
Love is YOU becoming a philanthropist and a missionary through something as simple as purchasing beautiful jewelry to give as a gift or complete an outfit.
Love is YOU wearing your Alegria Accessories and telling your friends when they compliment you.
Love is sharing a post on social media so your friends and followers can learn that they too can do amazing things with their jewelry shopping!
Love is.

Today as our artisans and I were messaging about the final touches to our second Christmas collection, we were talking about Christmas memories.

From missionary parents, to 22 years as a 'jewelry lady', God was weaving together the birth of Alegria.

We exist to create joy. Creating joy in dignified work, creating joy with beautiful handmade accessories, creating joy in a safe working environment and joy in a wage that can change the trajectory of our Faith Home adult women alumni.

Two unlikely paths - 1 joyful legacy

"Dad, you've been telling me the hardships of the young women that have grown up at Faith Home, but can't find good jobs or opportunities to sustain themselves as adults. What if I started a small jewelry company there so they could hand-make unique fashion jewelry and I could bring it back to the US to sell to my faithful customers that have accessorized with me for over 2 decades?"
