Spice Up Gift Giving with Curated Artisan Products Under $50

Traveling is a way to soothe the unending quest  of our soul’s desire for adventure. At the same time, to travel is a form of discovering and learning; about different people, places and culture beyond the lives we ourselves live day to day. Perhaps the most meaningful purpose of traveling is to give us a perspective from another’s point of view. In the beautiful words of Maya Angelou,

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”  In that brief moment of discovery, we feel our connection with others, no matter what race, language and culture we come from.

Apart from a collection of gorgeous jewelry, we also bring to you a variety of accessories that will merit your second look! Not only are these products a reflection of the places they were made, but most of them have a deeper purpose. Give a gift, handmade with love and that spreads love this holiday season!
