Lately, I’ve been crushing over a few specific types of decor doodads and themes: wallpaper, bird silhouettes, vintage pieces and Fair Trade and international items. It is probably fairly obvious based on the items I’ve written about over the past several weeks, but I just wanted to confirm it for anyone who may have been wondering.
NOVICA, a marketplace associated with National Geographic, is a great place to find Fair Trade and international pieces from artisans across the globe. What is unique about NOVICA is the information provided about each artist. You see their photos, know their names, know what drives them to do what they do — it creates a personal connection with the product when you know exactly where it came from and know the story behind it. It makes it more than just a purchase of a pretty jewelry box. It makes it an international experience.
This particular jewelry box, “Floral Mystery,” was made by Handaru Baskoro, and Indonesian batik artisan who has been featured in the Detroit News and Free Press and other domestic publications. From the detail and artistry of this piece, it is easy to see why. Your jewelry would be honored to reside in such a beautiful box. The detailed pattern make it both a standout and a chameleon, able to serve as a gorgeous centerpiece on a bedside table or dresser but subtle enough to give your room a little worldly flair without being overpowering.
Why It’s Green:
- Made of sustainable pule wood,
- Handmade
Price: $54.95 (aff)
