handcrafted

Engraved by hand, an ebony wood medallion centers this dramatic necklace by Ila Suleyman. Named Paga — "Womanhood" in the Mossi language of Northern Ghana — it features colorful agate, terracotta, sese wood beads and bright disks of recycled plastic.

"Enjoy this beautiful necklace and may your good deeds be more in number than the beads strung on this necklace," encourages Ila Suleyman. He calls his design Maneray, the Mossi term for good deeds. The Mossi are predominantly millet and cattle farmers who use cow hide and other natural materials to create various items including jewelry and accessories. Suleyman crafts the necklace by hand in a palette of warm earth hues featuring glistening agates, terracotta and sese wood beads. A bone pendant painted with batik techniques centers the necklace featuring recycled plastic beads at both sides. Closes with a brass clasp.

Handcrafted with 18k gold plated steel on turquoise-colored cord, this beautiful necklace will make a fascinating accessory wherever it goes. Mexican duo Martha and Ambar Mireles create their design, which is enhanced with colorful agate gems. A handcrafted ceramic pendant dangles at the center.

Because each piece of jewelry is individually crafted, there may be slight variations in colors and the decor details, thus assuring that your piece is a unique work of art.

From Andean artisan Dina comes a pair of charming beaded stretch bracelets in warm tones with an Inca-inspired style. Serpentine serves as the highlight of one of the bracelets while agate is the focal point of the other; both include handcrafted ceramic beads in subtle earth tones.

Not every bracelet has a story painted onto it, but this one does. Mexican artisan Alonso Luis brings this stretch bracelet to life by pairing glossy black agate stones and sleek stainless steel accents with a handcrafted Talavera-style ceramic pendant at its center, decorated in the beloved feather and plumage tradition: curved, petal-shaped strokes radiating outward in a pattern that blurs the line between a wild plume and a wildflower in full bloom. Monochrome and magnetic, it sits on the wrist like a quiet declaration, a reminder that the most striking things are often built from just two colors and a very steady hand.

Rooted in centuries of Mexican craft tradition, this stretch bracelet draws its soul from the hands of artisan Alonso Luis, who envisions a bold yet balanced union of raw earth and refined detail. Smooth black agate stones alternate with polished stainless steel beads, building a rhythm around the star of the design: a ceramic rectangular pendant handcrafted and painted in the Talavera style, where petal-like brushstrokes fan outward in a radial arrangement that reads at once as a feathered plume and a blooming daisy. The black-and-white pattern carries the kind of confidence that needs no color to command attention, and the elastic band ensures this beauty stays on your wrist as effortlessly as it earns its place there.
