beautiful color jewelry

With the style of her designs, artisan Dina wishes to give a fitting expression to the legacy of the Incas of her native Peru. She presents an artisan crafted ceramic pendant necklace hand painted in beautiful jewel tones. Fuchsia, green, and purple combine with the gold and black tones of the pendant which features geometric shapes recalling Inca iconography; a symbol of the sun, the heavenly body at the core of the Inca's religious beliefs, sits at the centre of the doughnut-shaped pendant which is topped with a bead painted in similar hues.

Radiant, a chrysanthemum blossoms like a magical star in a necklace from Thailand's Danai. The natural flower is beautifully preserved in resin and centres a leather cord.

Because natural blossoms are used, size, shape and colour will vary slightly.

A beautiful heart in seafoam aqua is caressed by sunlight in a bracelet of serene beauty. Edith Orozco works in papier mache giving the pendant rich colors and painting it by hand. It poses on dark blue cords that are adjustable in length. A coat of lacquer protects it and adds shine.

Jasper beads dyed in amazing colours are the stars of this beautiful bracelet as well as a delicate 950 silver charm that dangles from an adjustable dark brown waxed polyester cord. Thai artisan Samart Takham hand-braids a beaded charm bracelet that can complement any outfit to perfection.

Indian artisan Ritu Thapar crafts a beautiful shell-shaped pendant using a variety of energetic, geometric shapes. Hand-carved from clay, then double-fired, this eye-catching necklace is painted by hand in vivid shades of lavender and violet, with red, white, gold, and black tones being used to finish the design. Lovely golden-colored globes pattern the bottom of the pendant.

The Karen hill tribe artisans from Thailand are known for making jewelry unique to their corner of the world. Artisan Napapat comments that their works are "...very creative and beautiful, but also distinctly Thai: their methods unchanged from mother to daughter." Here she presents a hand braided ebony colored cord bracelet with a barrel-shaped silver tube flanked on each side by two beads; the detailing of the tube's filigree motif and the bead's decorations is further enhanced by the combination finish of the metal. The sliding knot closure makes it easy to adjust the bracelet so that the fit will always be perfect.
