Social Potpourri makes it their own business to support and encourage companies and individuals who are responsible towards the society in particular and the earth in general. Color D Earth is our Business Potpourrian of the Week because of that peculiar itch we have.

This company works with terracotta artisan groups from all over India who handcraft this exquisite jewelry. The result of this painstaking effort and meaningful collaboration finds a place in Color D Earth's retail store at GVK ONE Mall, Hyderabad.

Midday once quoted the founder, Hema S Subramanyam, as saying "Terracotta jewellery will never go out of season. It has more character than silver and gold. Terracotta jewellery cuts across all age-groups. Women in their 50's enjoy wearing it as much as do the college-going girls,"

Social Potpourri likes to agree with that even more because it supports the artisans around India whose bread and butter lie in the art form. It is because of ventures such as Color D Earth that they not only survive but live with hope.

Hema's passion and determination got fired up after a clay workshop which she attended so she followed that up with a course on terracotta jewelry. There was no looking back for her since then. Her enterprise started with just two people and now supports 120 artisans from different parts of the country.

That terracotta is made from river bed clay is not the only thing we learned when we visited their page at https://www.facebook.com/Color.D.Earth. We encourage all our members and followers to visit the link above and absorb what one can do with passion without hurting the Earth! We wish Color D Earth every success in the future!
