"When creating jewelry, my inspiration is woman herself. For me, she represents a being full of life and beauty."

"When creating jewelry, my inspiration is woman herself. For me, she represents a being full of life and beauty. When I... see semiprecious gemstones, I can only imagine designs that ladies can wear, whether earrings, rings or necklaces to complement their style and elegance.

"I'm Wilder Paredes Bustamante. I was born in a picturesque and traditional village in the Cajamarca province, with its incredible natural landscapes. I am a hardworking man, honorable and a tireless fighter.

"I had many difficulties in my life. My parents took good care of me and taught me the meaning of honor, respect and to always strive for whatever we want. As a boy, I enjoyed painting and Andean music. The flora and fauna of my picturesque village inspire me in my work.

"Life has taken me along different paths and to different jobs. One of the biggest challenges was facing a lung illness that kept me from working for a long time but, thank God, I was able to overcome it and recover. When I was 24, I learned how to sculpt stones from a great teacher, Emilio, whom I remember very fondly.

"To support my family I worked day and night in a thousand jobs for up to 12 hours a day. But there's no sacrifice that hasn't been worth the struggle because I mastered the technique and gained experience in the field, and that has made me a jeweler today.

"Although it took a lot of sacrifice, I was able to study and took courses in jewelry crafting while in the university. My perseverance and desire to succeed helped me stand on my own. This started me on a wonderful path in the world of silver and gemstones. I knew I wanted to do this forever.

"I especially like being able to experiment and see the transformation of the stone. I enjoy combining gems with silver and seeing the finished design. For me, it's a singular emotion and I believe God gave me this gift to create beautiful jewelry. I love seeing beauty that comes from my art. The challenge is reaching my shoppers so they enjoy my designs as much as I do.

"My dream is to show the world my talent and hope of a tomorrow full of joy along with my family. I want to take my creativity very far and to be recognized for quality jewelry."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

Triple 'Win' Pricing

UNICEF Market offers triple win pricing, where YOU the consumer, Children from around the world, and Artisans all benefit.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.
