The philosophy behind Nancy Badia’s jewelry line, Buddha Mama, is to bring “striking jewelry pieces with purpose” into the world, a mantra that showcases why Buddha Mamma differs from other jewelry lines. Badia incorporates eclectic items that she has collected throughout her travels into each piece, from Tibetan wood and Middle Eastern beads to mountain coral and custom-made tassels. Assembled with a meticulous attention to detail, Buddha Mama’s 2013 collection of fine jewelry incorporates rare finds such as black diamonds and blue sapphires. Whether looking for an alluring bridal accessory, a glamorous way to say thank-you to your bridesmaids, or a chic way to treat yourself, Buddha Mama’s fine jewelry collection is bound to hold the perfect piece for you.
Proceeds from the sale of Buddha Mama jewelry are used to support Zen Village, which responds to the needs of the community, and Kristi House, a refuge for sexually abused children. Casual jewelry ranges from $250-$2,500 and fine jewelry ranges from $2,500-$30,000.
