.925 Sterling silver

Considered by some to be a stone of serenity, a cool blue larimar cabochon take pride of place on this sterling silver cocktail ring from Aparna in India. The celestial gem is surrounded by traditional Indian rawa or silver beading, as well as a rope motif that surrounds the bezel.

Penpan of Thailand presents a handsome, handcrafted ceramic cup and saucer with a look of woven wicker. The interior of the cup, it's rim and handle, and the center and rim of the saucer are glazed in blue with a crackled finish. Where the woven wicker motif is located--the exterior of the cup bowl and the outer border of the saucer--the ceramic is left the natural warm beige of the clay.

Penpan's Siam Celadon has won multiple awards for their handicrafts in Southeast Asia, and takes pride in using traditional, all-natural glaze formulas.
