About The Nozomi Project

The Nozomi Project, brought to you by Upscale Bargain, is a remarkable initiative dedicated to empowering women in disaster-affected communities in Japan. Through this project, we create stunning pieces of jewelry using broken pottery fragments from the devastating March 2011 tsunami.

Our mission is to provide women with employment opportunities, fostering their physical, emotional, and economic recovery. By utilizing their inherent creativity and traditional Japanese craftsmanship, these courageous women transform brokenness into beauty, expressing resilience and hope through each handmade piece.

Our Inspiring Jewelry Collection

Discover the exquisite jewelry collection crafted by the highly skilled artisans at The Nozomi Project. Each piece tells a unique story, reflecting the strength and spirit of the remarkable women involved.

From intricately designed necklaces and bracelets to delicate earrings and charms, our collection showcases a wide range of styles, colors, and materials. We meticulously select each pottery fragment, ensuring that every item created is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Empowering Women, Transforming Lives

The Nozomi Project provides employment, training, and support to women who have been affected by the earthquake and tsunami. By joining our team, these women not only gain financial independence but also experience a sense of purpose, community, and renewed hope for the future.

Our comprehensive training programs not only emphasize jewelry making techniques but also focus on personal development and empowerment. Through skill-building workshops, these courageous women acquire essential business skills, enabling them to thrive in their lives beyond The Nozomi Project.
