Beads of blue crystal encircle the wrist in this stunning bracelet from Mexico. Inspired by the renowned Talavera ceramists of Puebla, artisan Monica Vazquez hand-paints a heart-shaped ceramic pendant using shades of blue on white.

Because each ceramic bead is individually handcrafted, the motifs and their placement may vary slightly, making your bracelet an original work of art.

The perfect accessory for you or the Taurus in your life, this sterling silver pendant necklace comes from Thailand's Sarote Lochotinunt. At the end of a box chain with a spring-ring clasp hangs a brushed-satin finish sterling silver pendant which is hand crafted using the lost wax technique; within its round contour, the symbol for the zodiac sign Taurus (April 20 to May 20) is cradled by a crescent moon sprinkled with faceted, round-brilliant cubic zirconia stones in a pave setting.

When the wind blows, hundreds of dandelions start a long and vital journey that ensures their species' survival. Alone but firm, these little plants symbolize the long journey humans experience throughout their lives, leaving home at an early age and, finally, settling down to see their child move to start the adventure of life again. Inspired by this deep message of nature, Mexican artisan Emerson Zarate handcrafts a sterling silver necklace featuring a dandelion immortalized in a clear resin pendant, reminding us that as long as the travel may be, a destiny is waiting for us.

"There are very few natural displays of color that are as beautiful as the Aurora Borealis. That ethereal show of color produced by the Northern Lights inspired the design of our 'Aurora' collection," Cantel Blown Glass Artisans explain. They craft the tumblers by hand, using traditional blown glass techniques featuring swirling lines of color like orange, yellow, green and red underscored by aqua blue.

Because each piece is handmade, shape and size can vary slightly and tiny bubbles may appear within the glass. This exemplifies the hand-blown technique, making every piece a unique example of blown glass craftsmanship.
