fashion find: a peace treaty

What could possibly be better than beautiful, handmade jewellery? Beautiful, handmade jewellery with a purpose. Recently I stumbled upon the story behind A Peace Treaty and felt the need to share it with my followers. Designed by two friends from differing occupational backgrounds, A Peace Treaty aims to promote ethnic craftsmanship by introducing it to mainstream fashion society. The ethically produced work has a wonderful artisan feel, giving you the sense of one-off treasures, discovered and handpicked from a traditional bazaar.

This social conscious project provides employment to skilled locals in politically stricken countries. Each season travels to a different region and is influenced by the local methods and traditions found there. The result is high quality design mixed with strong ethical purpose.

The materials, shapes and processes create charming and unique jewellery that will work well in your tribal influenced wardrobe.

In the past, jewellery took a backseat to clothes. Always an afterthought, we left our cut-out dresses, super-mini skirts and embellished jackets to do the talking for us. Well, these days jewellery has something to say, and it is being heard loud and clear. Everywhere you look, statement jewellery can be seen draped over necks, wrapped around wrists and stacked onto fingers.

This over-the-top trend has not gone unnoticed. My Samantha Wills cuff manages to make an incredible impression on everyone who sets their eyes upon it. This self-indulgent purchase has been a wise investment that will remain on-trend throughout seasons to come.

The ‘Memory Cuff’, with its elaborate elephant motif is not the only impressive animal piece in the collection. Snakes and butterflies also feature, each as beautiful and unique as the last.  So why don’t you treat yourself and let your inner tribal shine? You can take a look at the whole collection here. Which piece is your favourite?
