Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Flat Ripple Candle
The Austrian Atelier: Flat Ripple Candle – Dark Blue
2) Single Color Pleated Necklace
A fabric statement necklace is the best of both worlds—major visual impact, without the weight. Greek lighting designer Alexandra Tsoukala creates these necklaces with remnants from her lighting installations, using pleated strands inspired by Greek sculpture. The result is a fluid piece that catches the light and moves as you wear it—and can look different each time.
3) Hometown Love
The Vintage Pearl: Hometown Love Charm – South Dakota
4) Personalized Map Housewarming Art
This custom-made picture art lets you celebrate a new home or pay tribute to your first one. It’s carefully handmade with cut and layered paper that uses maps to artfully zero in on your special location. The finished result is an eye-catching and deeply personal ready-to-display memento.
5) Featherweight Spike Hoop Earrings
Don lightweight earrings that make a statement but feel like you’re not wearing anything at all. Made from ultra-thin sterling silver or 14k gold wire with a spike that can be removed, these earrings thread through for extra comfort and have a minimalist design that works day and night.
