Handmade Fair Trade in Indonesia

White Brass, Mother of Pearl and Sterling Silver

Weight - .1 ounces 

Ornament Size - 1 inch

This charm may be used to adorn a garment or accessory anywhere. It can become jewelry, a hair ornament, a cuff embellishment, a beautiful bit of kinetic joy somewhere, anywhere, on anything you wear that needs some jazz. If you want to attach it permanently to something that gets laundered, you can remove the pearl and re-purpose that as an ornament elsewhere.  The pearl is not intended to be washed and we can not attest to its durability if it is subjected to water and detergents.

The Ancient Geometry ornaments are inspired by the gorgeous inconsistencies of ancient, handmade ornaments found in archeological sites globally, that tell us stories about the value placed not only on functional objects that help us wear our clothes. but also how important it has always been for those functional objects also to be beautiful.
