I recently received a preview of some of World Visions catalog items and I have got to tell you, I am so incredibly impressed by the craftsmanship behind these products.
Here is a sample of some of the gorgeous items you can choose for yourself or a loved one. This gold Hope Bracelet, for instance, was designed by TV's favorite mom, Patricia Heaton! It pairs wonderfully with this wraparound ring made by fair trade artisans in India.
Also picture is a gold and sliver plated necklace that is certainly a statement piece! I love how the colors play off of each other in this pairing.
Perhaps my favorite item is this infinity scarf done in various hues of blue. The scarf was made by weavers in South India who have been trained how to use a loom to help them attain sills and a sustainable livelihood.
I also adore this hand-embroidered tote handcrafted by disabled women in Vietnam. These brave women are working towards gaining independence by selling these extraordinary pieces of artwork!
