Rowan Set | Hostess Exclusive $ 75 retail, Made in Ecuador, tagua, adjustable, 2644 | $35

HOW ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MADE tagua The tagua nut grows from the ivory palm tree in Ecuador. These nuts are carved, tumbled, and then colors are added with natural vegetable dyes. As a sustainable resource, the creation of these beautiful pieces is kind to the environment. It also provides jobs for those in extreme poverty in Ecuador, through one of our partner organizations. Look for this symbol throughout to catalog to see which beautiful pieces are made by our partners.

HOW ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MADE wire wrap Wire wrapping is one of the oldest and most intricate techniques for making jewelry. Vi Bella artisans create these designs by connecting wire and beads together with meticulous handmade detail. Often the wire is bent and wrapped around itself, making a loop or decorative-shaped pendant.

THE STORY OF

vi bella

Vi Bella Jewelry began in 2011 when our Founder and CEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart was broken for families living in extreme poverty in Haiti. The stories of those she met were beautiful in spite of their desperate living conditions. She felt drawn to be part of their lives by providing steady work that would assure food, shelter, and education to families. The Vi Bella story has grown to provide employment, education, and opportunity to more than 30 artisans in Haiti, Mexico, and right here in the United States. Your purchases and involvement helps us make beautiful jewelry, but more importantly,

you are creating beautiful lives
