• About Marla
  • About Karen Hill Tribe Silver From Thailand
  • About our Commitment to Charity

Hi! I'm Marla, the designer and creator of Goddess Designs by Marla. When I was a small child,
I was fascinated with beautiful stones - particularly colorful, polished gemstones. I loved the way they felt between my fingers. To this day, I remain enthralled.

I love creating beautiful things. A couple of years ago,
I began making my own jewelry using gemstones crocheted on fine wire. When people started asking where I had purchased my necklaces, I realized that my dream of starting my own business creating jewelry for others just might be a possibility. After viewing "The Secret" about a year ago, I decided to make my dream come true. Thus was born Goddess Designs by Marla.

Gratitude fills my heart that I am able live my passion--creating beautiful, unique jewelry just for you.

May the gifts of love, joy and peace surround you,
and may all your dreams come true.

Namaste,

Marla

KAREN HILL TRIBE SILVER

In our mission to help those who are striving to improve their lives, we are truly excited to feature in some of our pieces genuine Karen Hill Tribe Silver from Thailand.  Each piece of Thai Karen Hill Tribe Silver is handcrafted of 95-99% pure silver (sterling is 92.5% silver).

The Karen is one of the nomadic Hill Tribes who settled in Thailand—many of them grew opium for income.  In 1969, Thailand's leadership implemented The Royal Project—new crops that could replace the opium were encouraged, with an emphasis on conservation and on self sufficiency for the Hill Tribes.

As part of the Royal Project, some of the Karen Hill Tribe peoples were taught silversmithing techniques. The beautiful silver pieces they create today are the results of that long-ago training.

We are honored to support the work of the Karen Hill Tribe.
