[ a story of hope ] I have witnessed the stories of HOPE the products contained in these pages have written. I have seen the look of joy in a child’s eyes when she learns she can attend school for the first time, the smile full of pride when a mother can care for her family, and a circle of employees with hands and hearts woven together as they begin the day in prayer. This Christmas your purchases can have a great impact and we thank you for choosing Vi Bella, which means “Beautiful Life.” You are choosing gifts that not only decorate your life with beauty, but also carry joy, hope, and empowerment to families in Haiti and Mexico.
Founder and CEO, Vi Bella Jewelry

The holes in each bead-like majok seed are naturally occurring, making them perfect for stringing into beautiful designs. Locally sourced in Haiti, these seeds are lightweight and carry the beautiful story of the island and its people.

[ how it’s made ] Our felt ornaments are cut and constructed by hand and then intricately stitched with the word “HOPE” by our talented artisans at the Three Cords Center in Haiti. Many of these employees are amputee victims from the 2010 earthquake or are from a neighboring deaf community, and their jobs have truly been life-changing and a symbol of hope to us all.

Haiti has long been known for creating art by recycling metal oil drums. The intricate details of each design can take hours of work. Large drums are cut down the middle, then manually flattened and cut. Designs are then created using a hammer and chisel, resulting in beautiful, upcycled art.

b. Angel Metal Ornament | $10 | silver metal | made with repurposed oil drum handcrafted in Haiti | 3.25”x4.5” | Item #2358
When I first started in the metal industry, I use to do all the work alone. As demand for the metal work increased, I started to hire more and more metal workers to help me satisfy client demands, like those of Vi Bella. I am very thankful to have companies like Vi Bella because without them I would not be able to first, provide for my family but also to help others in my community by giving them jobs. I love what I do and I plan on doing this for the rest of my life!”
