See the magical Costa Rican spring season through a veil of natural sweetness and rustic beauty with this superb artwork by Saray Leandro.

Says Indian artisan Amit Moza, "Kashmir is famous for beautiful and creative works of art. I want to spread Kashmir’s art and craft." He creates this stunning wool area rug, featuring chain-stitched patterns performed by hand to depict birds, deer, and other animals that live in their vibrant jungle home.

"Jade originates within the earth to dazzle all who wear it. The mixture of minerals and time make of jade a highly valued treasure. The design of this ring symbolizes how jade emerges from the earth," says the Jimenez Family of their original creation. They craft the sterling silver ring by hand, a powerful design rendered in aesthetic minimalism.

Hand-carved from Indian mango wood, this bangle is designed to make a bold fashion statement. The bracelet comes from Vipin's amazing wood jewelry collection.

Evoking images of a lush fern swaying gracefully in the wind, Made Sugi presents a sophisticated pair of dangle earrings that make a fantastic accessory all year round.

"My definition of world peace is the desire of every human being who decides and chooses to be at peace in their own way. If humans realize we can all choose to make peace by asking God to give us a heart that is peaceful and calm, then there will be no war. My hope for world peace is that all beings can individually create something good and respect each other, and then peace will be established," says Ida Ratna Ningrum.

The artist advocates for harmony and goodwill with her daydream-like painting "Pray for Peace." With idyllic realism, Ida creates a desert landscape symbolic of societal conflicts and scarcity, dominated by a prayerful young woman in a pink dress.

The artist explains that the cat and white rabbit symbolize rebirth and new beginnings, respectively, as they accompany the girl in her quest for peace. Circling above, white doves soar freely, symbolizing the release of a new period of peace under a pure blue sky. Thriving around the young woman, cacti, prickly pears and aloe represent the protection provided by mother nature, even in times of friction. An encouraging reminder of human resilience, the painting calls for a new peaceful era on planet Earth.

"Peace is the desire of every human being around the world," says the artist. "Prayer is a method of expression from a person to God and the universe. A sad girl sees a beautiful world without any feelings of peace, as if there is always war. She prays to God that the world will always be at peace without any war. If the world is free from war, the world will be peaceful, serene, and prosperous."
