Each and every day, my team and I strive to live true to our vision – to bring the human connection into every interaction!
Many an entrepreneur can build a business that brings products to market, but how many can be as proud as I am to have shaped a company around a common set of values and a unified vision?
It brings me such joy to hear of the various ways we have made a difference in your lives and those of our artisans.
Let this holiday season – and always – be a celebration of the individuality of each of us, and the infinite connections amongst us all.

As an apprentice to jewelry makers in Israel and Denmark, Avi developed a decidedly international perspective on design – and life. Throughout his career, he has used and shared his talents to help others, mentoring new artisans as well as employing people with disabilities in his workshop. An avid supporter of human rights causes, he participates in empowerment programs for Arab women in Israel, and volunteers at a refugee center for African women in Tel Aviv, bringing the same passion to helping his community as he does to jewelry design.
When Donna, our New Hampshire artisan, first took up pottery, she dreamed of ways to put the healing energy of crystals into people’s hands – literally! Today, she handcrafts gracefully shaped and artfully glazed pieces from clay infused with quartz crystals, believed to promote healing.
Since 1966, Ermengildo and his wife Renata have been crafting and decorating exquisite blown-glass ornaments in the picturesque village of Bellagio, overlooking Italy’s Lake Como. Together with their daughter Annalisa, they create highly collectible glass ornaments. With remarkable craftsmanship, each ornament is carefully hand-blown using traditional techniques as they gather a dab of molten glass at the end of a tube, and then heat it over a flame as they gently blow to inflate the shape. To finish, the ornaments are then hand-painted with charming motifs honoring our animal friends.
