Indian artisan Siddique beautifully portrays rural life in this batik wall hanging. A village woman adorned in traditional attire and jewelry carries two pots of water on her head from the village well or maybe from the nearby riverside. She gracefully balances the pots on her head without spilling a drop. Rich colors in tones of red, sky blue, mustard yellow, beige, off white, peach, olive green and black are all used in the design, and help to create the feeling of heat and sun that characterizes life in India. The decorative piece is marked by multiple loops at the top for hanging on a rod, and black cotton borders help create a neat finish.

Indian artisans Rajnandinee and Srabonti design a multi-strand necklace in joyful shades of deep green and grass green. Each of the five strands are made by hand by covering plastic beads with recycled cotton cloth and then tying them off one by one. A sliding bead allows for control of the length. Use this necklace to accessorize a dress or pantsuit for the office or make a real statement by wearing it with a classic plain white t-shirt.

The bold chevron pattern on this bracelet, inspired by the traditional dress of San Juan Comalapa, is woven from cotton on a traditional pedal loom. Guatemalan designer Eu Chonay creates the wide leather cuff bracelet.

Escorted by sterling silver orbs, glowing carnelians are set to attract the energy of life. Rituu honors Buddhist meditation practices with the design of this Shambhala-style bracelet.
