small rings

Thai artisan Sarote Lochotinunt creates this delicate sterling silver ring with the word "smile" shaped into the band. Textured with a brushed-satin finish, this ring serves as a gentle, small reminder to stay positive every day.

This petite jewelry box from Mexico's Ana Maria Gonzalez boasts traditional Mexican folk art on its lid and sides. Perfect for storing earrings or rings, the pinewood box comes to life thanks to meticulous decoupage techniques. The hinged lid lifts to reveal four compartments within, whereas the exterior captivates with a regal bird image.

George Obeng designed this wonderful original sculpture with world peace in mind. Carved by hand from ebony wood, the sculpture depicts two women of different races holding up a clay pot that represents the fragility of life on Earth. "By this carving, I am appealing to the world that we are not the only creatures in the world," says the artist. "Plants and trees, insects, reptiles and fishes both in the sea and rivers, birds and all mammals are interested in enjoying life in the world. The human race is just a small fraction of all creatures, so why are we not interested in making peace our focus and object in the world, to enable all creatures to enjoy life to the fullest. Anytime there is earthly destruction, we only account for human losses, forgetting that other creatures including trees may also get damaged. This carving is sounding a wake-up call to the world leaders and united nations to wake up for the human race now. Humans are full of selfishness, cruelty and greed; these can cause the world to break into pieces. All the world leaders have a responsibility in the matter. The world is as fragile as a clay pot so therefore whatever we do let's do it in peace."

With the inscription "Peace" on the inner band, this cuff bracelet is presented by Thai artisan Achara. With hand-stamped motifs by Karen hill tribe silversmiths, this bracelet is bold and elegant.
