A hand-embroidered star ornament made with Zari, the traditional Indian needlework that builds shimmer and texture one metallic stitch at a time. Each piece is sewn by a single artisan Silk Road Traders has worked with directly since 2005, so the craft and the fair-trade relationship come as a set.
At about 3.5 inches it's light enough for any branch. Hang it for Yule, leave it up through Valentine's, or skip the calendar entirely and hang it over your desk. Handmade and fairly traded in India.
