We understand how important it is to have unique items in your shop! We do our best to ensure that brick & mortar stores partnering with WorldFinds avoid conflicts as best we can. Our core mission is to get as much work to our artisans as possible, so we continuously balance that goal with exclusivity requests.

Our methodology is a combination of the longevity of partnership, frequency of orders, and volume of orders. We have found this to be a much better system than straight zip code exclusivity, as there are many cases where stores can be located near each other but carry different product lines. It's more labor-intensive, but seems to result in stronger partnerships over time. If you have any concerns please let us know - we realize our healthy store partnerships include ongoing dialogue and that those relationships can change over time.

General

Our U.S. office and warehouse is located in the suburbs of Chicago.

Our offices are open Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm Central Standard Time.

A consumer can purchase WorldFinds products directly on our consumer-facing homepage. However, we place a focus on our retailers by charging 2.4x what we charge our wholesalers. Through our marketing efforts, we spotlight different buyers and encourage our consumers to visit their local retailer.

Yes! We publish a quarterly print catalog, but all available products are displayed on our website. We also have line sheets that can be included with your order or mailed upon request. To request a catalog or line sheets, please email info@worldfinds.com with your name and address.

We do! Please reach out to our sales team at sales@worldfinds.com to request photo access. For lower-resolution images, simply enter the item's product detail page and right click the large photo. Click "Save Image As" as save the image on your computer for use. You are only permitted to use photos of products that you have purchased from WorldFinds.

WorldFinds strives for our company to be both people and eco-friendly. We use all glass beads instead of plastic, as well as organic cotton, recycled wood beads and upcycled textiles. Our carbon footprint is reduced by grouping our artisan's shipments as well as by artisans working from their own homes. In our office, we re-use paper for all in-house communications, recycle our office equipment and printer cartridges. In our warehouse, we re-use all cardboard boxes that are in working condition and recycle the rest. The majority of the inner packing material is re-used after receipt from various local shipments to us.

There are so many amazing places to purchase US-made jewelry like Etsy and most American jewelry designers have their own websites making it easy to purchase directly. Our social mission business was founded to support vulnerable artisans in India that don't have those same options, so we have created the opportunity for them to receive dignified work and fair wages to help break the cycle of poverty and ensure they and their children have a better future. We are supporting women and communities in the United States by providing them a product to sell & make a living from.

Our metal earring wires are made from a brass metal mix that is free of lead, nickel and cadmium.

Your item may not look exactly like the photo! The size, shape and silhouette will be consistent, but the exact colors and patterns of each items are unique since they are made from repurposed fabric that is one-of-a-kind.

Our Kantha Jewelry can last for years if care is taken when wearing and storing. Over time, it is possible that some of the repurposed cotton fabric can pull away from the wooden beads and begin to fray a little. This is more likely to happen with the Kantha stretchy bracelets as they receive more wear and tear than necklace and earring styles. Many of our customers have reported that they like the look of the wood showing through and that it adds to the textile's story.
