Azadi Adornments

Our Philosophy

Welcome to Azadi Adornments, a captivating journey in jewellery artistry created by Nahal Azadi since 2018.

Rooted in her enduring Iranian heritage, "Azadi," meaning 'freedom,' serves as a gateway between body and expression. Each piece, an exquisite fusion of sacred Islamic scripts and traditional Middle Eastern adornments, pays homage to her ancient bloodlines.

Beneath the layers of cultural richness, Azadi becomes an ode to Nahal's unique journey as the only child of political refugees, forging her path from the East to the Western world. "Freedom" isn't merely a theme; it's a constant source of salvation, a driving force that propelled her family to Australia and ignited the spark of her creative journey.

Azadi Adornments is more than jewellery; it's an intentional creation, a portal to self-expression designed to deepen your understanding of individuality. Crafted ethically and adhering to Fairtrade standards, each piece is a masterpiece brought to life by small teams of skilled metalsmiths in Bali and India. These unique body adornments, inspired by ancient tribal jewellery, seamlessly blend tradition with elegance, defying the constraints of minimalism.

Thank you for supporting Azadi Adornments, a small independent label where every piece reflects a story, a heritage, and a celebration of freedom.

با عشق,

Nahal.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is the focus for Azadi Adornments, in a world where fast fashion and unethical practices dominate. Due to this value for sustainability, everything is produced in limited runs, or available on a pre-order basis, to ensure there is absolutely no wastage.

All manufactured imperfect pieces or samples are sent back to our metalsmiths to be melted down to be remade into new pieces. We thank you for your understanding and patience when opting for a pre-order item. Your support in embracing sustainable practices is pivotal in reshaping the narrative of conscientious consumption. All organic matter used in Azadi’s pieces is sourced sustainably- the bone and horn are a by-product of the meat industry, ensuring no new demand for these materials is created.

Our artisans try to use as many natural and recycled/reused materials/processes as possible to make our products environmentally responsible.
The boxes your pieces are posted in are made from FSC certified 100% recycled materials.

FAIRTRADE CERTIFICATION

Every Azadi Adornments piece has been expertly handcrafted with love, ensuring an ethical practice every step of the way. Our mission is a responsible supply chain that promotes trust in your support of our business In the last 5 years of our business, we have supported and given work to 2 small Balinese family artisans, and we have recently started working with a bigger production team located in India.

Our team in India is part of SETU, a certified fair trade organisation that endeavours to act as a bridge between the underprivileged/marginalised artisans and the international/affluent markets, whilst at the same time, working for social, economic and environmental well-being of the artisan communities. Fair trade practices are used to give the team of artisans that we have employed with self sustainability, self- confidence, and pride in their quality of work. SETU Fair Trade works to help improve the overall state of development in the artisan sector in India, in terms of health care, education, and infrastructure.

Our teams in Bali are paid fairly, and work in safe conditions- they are paid a minimum of 4x the legal minimum hourly wage in Indonesia. We have been working closely with these two teams since the start of Azadi in 2018, and were able to help them closely through the COVID 19 economic crisis, ensuring that they were supported and in constant employment through the duration of this period.

GIVING BACK・WHO WE SUPPORT

Azadi Adornments strives to make your dollar reach as far as possible, with the intention to facilitate a more conscious and enriching shopping experience. Through the years of supporting various organisations at different times, we have decided to commit ourselves to helping a charity with every single transaction made through our website.

Moms Against Poverty (MAP) is a global 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation with a mission to lessen the incidence and effects of poverty for impoverished children around the world.

Our aim was to find a transparent organisation that has legal clearance to be able to directly support underprivileged, disabled, or orphaned children, specifically in Iran, as global government sanctions make it very difficult to ensure that international Aid and charity organisations are able to directly support the people, and children of this region. Since 2008, Moms Against Poverty has positively impacted over 2,600,000 impoverished children and their families in 17 countries, and has been serving impoverished children in various provinces in Iran since 2010. Their programs include supporting, renovating, equipping, and building schools, orphanages, and libraries. Additionally, they provide orphan care, healthcare, and disaster and humanitarian relief to children in need. Since 2010, about 357,000 children have received food, shelter, education, and health care through their work in Iran.

3% of every chosen sale with Azadi Adornments will go towards supporting the mission of MAP in helping our children in need around the world.

One Tree Planted is a non-profit organisation focused on global reforestation. Since 2014 they have planted over 100 million trees in more than 80 countries around the globe. For every purchase you make, we will plant a tree on your behalf. It's our way of contributing to the restoration of ecosystems, promoting biodiversity, and offsetting our environmental footprint as a business. Together, we can make a positive change—one tree at a time.

Join us on this journey towards a more sustainable future, where the beauty of our creations harmonises with the well-being of the Earth and its people. Thank you for being a part of our mission.
