The products are handmade, fair trade, eco-friendly and one-of-a-kind, while the brand also remains dedicated to employing HIV-positive and marginalized women. Currently, the stylish and socially conscious Texas-based brand boasts two jewelry and accessory lines that showcase unique "modern, organic" designs. The Ethiopia Collection features [statement necklaces, earrings and bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empowering-jewelry) and empowers HIV-positive women of the nation located in the Horn of Africa. The India Collection includes hand-milled all-natural soaps, metallic leather jewelry and recycled cotton paper and hand-carved wood journals benefiting marginalized women in the Northern region of the country. **Contact Information** Raven + Lily [website](http://www.ravenandlily.com/) Raven + Lily on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/ravenandlily) Raven + Lily on [Twitter](http://twitter.com/RavenAndLily) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Socially Responsible Brands:** There is an opportunity for brands to develop products and initiatives that benefit marginalized communities and promote sustainability. - **Fair Trade Jewelry:** The demand for handmade, fair trade jewelry is growing as consumers become more socially conscious and environmentally aware. - **Empowering Marginalized Women:** There is a need for initiatives and products that empower marginalized women, such as those living with HIV, and provide them with sustainable economic opportunities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can incorporate fair trade practices and socially responsible initiatives into their production processes. - **Jewelry:** The jewelry industry can focus on creating unique, eco-friendly and fair trade designs that support marginalized communities. - **Social Entrepreneurship:** The social entrepreneurship industry can develop business models that prioritize social impact and economic opportunities for marginalized women. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Women-Designed Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaillard-jewelry.md) - [Indigenous-Owned Self Care Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ravensong.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Nonprofit Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philanthropic-partnership.md) - [Demi-Fine Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aaria-london.md) - [Empowering Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empowering-jewelry.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [D2C Artisan Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisan-marketplace1.md) - [International Jewelry-Focused Digital Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeweler-collective.md) - [Recycled Metal Jewellery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-metal-jewellery-reformation-x-clair-waight-keller-create-a-limited.md)
