Accessorize in Artisan Market

Let the global village inspire you - unite brilliant colors, exotic materials and homespun techniques. Blend hand-painted beads, crochet and knit stitches and macramé with ideas and souvenirs from different cultures to create a worldly style. Sustainable materials and glamour work hand-in-hand with messages of eco-awareness and global peace in jewelry and fashion designs.

How to wear the style

Jewelry symbolizes the collection of a world traveler for spectacular conversation pieces. Worn with everything - from evening gowns to jeans - the focus is on the jewelry as people ask, "Wow! Where did you find that?"

Combine the fine details of Hill Tribes silver with the deep green colors of African "jade" and the eco-friendly wood beads from the Philippines. Use the crochet techniques you learned from your Grandmother and add seed beads, crystals and wire to create a bracelet with a homespun look. Key design components include large hand-painted focal pieces, pendants of clustered foreign coins or fabric-covered beads.
