How many stars? All of 'em! I love my versatile snare link/white pearl necklace. It's stunning as-is (drops to the collar bone); but I like to shorten it to near-choker-length to wear with my everyday... See more

Well crafted

Well crafted, beautiful and creative designs. The personalization and hand-written note from the creator makes every piece even that more special.

Excellent quality, beautifully made products and extra special touches...

Thank you, Mulberry Mongoose Members for providing such lovely gifts for our friends. They loved their bracelet and key chain - and was truly surprised when it arrived. Your extra touch of a hand-written note was the 'icing on the cake' and brought extra joy to their experience. We will be ordering and supporting you in the future. Blessings to each of you for your beautiful gifts.

Gorgeous products, just as expected, and arrived quickly

I bought 4 pairs of earrings, and they are just gorgeous - very distinctive. The descriptions were very accurate. While there's a little variability it's entirely as expected (such as, the specific feathers used - it's organic!), and the length, the metals, the weight, etc. were all as I read on the website. It arrived more quickly than I expected and was packaged very securely, with a lovely postcard.

Snare Wire Bracelet Not As Represented

Dearest Women of Mulberry Mongoose,
I have been putting off writing to you because I love every one of you in your photo and I love the work you are doing. And Brilliance wrote me such a beautiful and affectionate letter!
However, my bracelet was a great disappointment. It hit me hard because for years I've been looking for a snare wire bracelet that I could wear forever.
I am a deep lover of the Elephants and of all the African Wild Ones that are so brutally killed or injured by these snares.
I am a monthly supporter of The Elephant Crisis Fund; Save the Elephants; The Rhino Recovery Fund; The Lion Recovery Fund; The Pangolin Crisis Fund, and more. I am saying this to let you know how deeply I feel about snares.
In your photo you showed this bracelet as it should look: the wire is spaced perfectly along the black leather. There is a twist of wire at the top, that is, just opposite the closure, and two more twists of wire are spaced evenly on either side of the top one, so that looking down at the bracelet, it seemed, one would see three twists of snare wire.
But you did not affix those three pieces of wire in any way to the leather, and the result is that they all slide down to the bottom by the closure and all I see on my wrist is a band of black leather.
Why did you misrepresent what the bracelet would actually look like? Why didn't you say the wire would slide out of sight?
I actually cried in disappointment. There is no use my wearing it; it sits in a sacred space on my windowsill and I honor it, but I wanted to WEAR it just as you showed it to be.
My heart is conflicted: I love you beautiful women making "beauty from brutality" and I believe it is important work. Yet I feel you were not honest with me and I am sad about that. And I am sad that I still have no snare wire bracelet to wear in solidarity with the Wild Ones - those who were injured or killed, and those who escaped or were saved.
These deep feelings are why I haven't written to you sooner.
Amani iwe nawe, marafiki changu,
Tami Calliope

I ordered some beautiful jewellery made from snares from Mulberry Mongoose.
There was a slight snag with the courier company, but they assisted with getting this resolved.
Beautiful pieces and amazing service AND their work benefits conservation - what more can one ask for - THANK YOU

I can't say enough good things!

Many thanks to Kate for fulfilling my order, I made a mistake in the shipping and she fixed it right away for no charge!
Many, many thanks to Brilliance for making the beautiful earrings and sending them with a lovely letter and a photo of the gorgeous women who make the jewelry! My wife thought the earrings were spectacular! AND they made it just in time for our 30th Anniversary all the way from Zambia.
Cheers to fellow women in business and doing their part for the wildlife!
Thank you, thank you ladies of Mulberry Mongoose!

Christmas gift

It was a seamless experience start to finish. I wanted to give my 92 year old mother a necklace and bracelet for Christmas. I love the fact Mulberry Mongoose products are hand-made which I believe gives the gift a special feeling. In today’s world product availability, shipping and delivery are a mystery especially during the holidays. The necklace and bracelet were produced and shipped to me in Dallas with time to spare.
It was truly a wonderful experience and I highly recommend Mulberry Mongoose.
