Impact

What your purchase actually does.

The math

Of every $100 spent at Sol & Stone, roughly $60 goes to the maker, $22 to materials and shipping, $10 to the small team that runs the brand, and $8 to the studio overhead in Mexico City. We are a small business. We do not have margins to hide.

What that has funded so far

• Eleven full-time roles. Each woman in the workshop earns roughly three times the regional average for handcraft work.
• One workshop expansion. A second room added in 2025, used for finishing and packaging.
• Two scholarships. Two daughters of cooperative members are in their first year of university, on scholarships funded by Sol & Stone sales.
• Annual bead trip. The cooperative chooses its own beads in person each year — a small thing that protects the quality and the patterns.

What is next

We are working toward expanding the cooperative to fifteen women by 2027 and opening a small training program for younger beadworkers. None of this happens without you. Thank you.
