Buana has encapsulated the soft thump of a heart in love in this beautiful cocktail ring. The Balinese artisan expertly crafts a pink cultured pearl into a heart shape and sets it in a sterling silver setting of vine-motifs with a jepun, or frangipani flower resting above.

Women in Kathmandu, Nepal, knit these unconventional, colourful winter mittens from pure wool. A single artisan is responsible for the item from start to finish, from casting on the first stitch to the hand-embroidered accents. The mitten flap can be folded over and secured with a coconut-wood button to leave fingers free, or folded over for warmth while still leaving a small exposed hole in the thumb open to enable texting or typing on a cell phone.

Please note: As these mittens are handmade, the colour and pattern may vary slightly. However, the overall theme will remain the same.

Mittens only; hat not included.
