This minimal, dainty necklace is a tribute to the artist. Hammered into the shape of an artist's palette each of these necklaces is one-of-a-kind. This elegant necklace will layer well with many other necklaces in our jewelry collection.

While our designs are modern, our approach is based in capturing the ancient. We collaborate with master craftspeople to create each piece.

• Materials: Hammered brass
• Size: Pendant is 0.5 inches on a 16-inch chain, adjustable to 20 inches

Made entirely by hand, slight variations make each piece truly one of a kind. Handcrafted in Nepal.

From the maker: People are our priority. Design is our approach.

Art and design are a part of a culture's DNA. When we travel to other countries, we spend time taking in their museums and architecture while appreciating their contributions to the world as art, form and function. We are inspired. Even through modernization, a culture never loses its intrinsic creative DNA. These aspects of a society are treasured and praised. They are a visual documentation of a nation's history.

Nepal is a fiercely proud nation. Its daily existence is tightly woven into its history. You cannot walk down a street without seeing a religious artifact, a temple, or a textile that doesn't somehow tie back to Nepal's heritage. It is a beautiful testimony of the importance of art and design in Nepal's rich history.

MULXIPLY respects this heritage. We seek to honor the raw materials, the resourcefulness of its people, the tradition and the methods. We don't seek to change what doesn't need to be changed. There is beauty in this approach. While it may be slower than large factory production, it preserves the story and it honors the maker. We believe in the power of the artisan to solve visual problems. Creative thinking can in turn solve larger problems. In the 10 years we've been working in Nepal, we've seen a reemergence of the creative class with greater honor being given to those who forge a path in the arts. The impact in the local economy is felt from the ground up, and future generations of makers are honored as valued contributors to society.
