Ethically sourced!  Original and stunning pottery! Each piece engraved with Nozomi! Donations for each sale to help the vulnerable Cambodia! And hung with up-cycled kimono ribbons!

We are thrilled to offer a fabulous new ornament concept at Nozomi! Because of the labor time and cost involved, we are offering only 100 of these limited, ethically-sourced silver ornaments. Packaged in our branded blue Nozomi boxes, each piece is sure to become a family heirloom.

Our Nozomi team has carefully selected pieces of matching pottery from original disaster pieces gathered just after 2011 by hundreds of tireless volunteers. These are original reminders that there truly is beauty in brokenness. Each tree base is engraved with "Nozomi," meaning hope. Each piece is hung using up-cycled kimono fabric, made and supporting our sister organization Megumi Project. 

Our favorite part of the Nozomi Heirloom Ornament is that we are donating $15 for each one sold to make a difference among vulnerable women and children in Cambodia! Our contribution from each sale will help provide added security and repairs to the rescue center, as well as a special gift this year of new Christmas outfits for the women, their children, and the staff living there. This ornament is win-win-win on so many levels. Thanks for helping us make a difference in places of great need around the world!

Approximate weight: 45grams (1.6oz); size: 63 x 41 x 7mm ( 2.2 x 1.6 x .3in.); ornament with ribbon height 150mm (6in). 

(Please note: Due to the production process, there may be differences or slights scratches in the ornament finish.)

Gracefully fashionable, each Ai Necklace contains vibrant glass bead links and silver bead accents. Silver figaro style chain with lobster clasp closure. Approximately 28" in length. 

"Ai" means love in Japanese. One of the amazing things that has happened in Ishinomaki since the 2011 disaster is the great amount of love that has been mutually poured out between volunteers from around the world and the beautiful people of Ishinomaki. This necklace name is a great reminder of the special bonds that exist between so many who continue to be a part of the ongoing work of restoration.

We also have a limited number of Haruna necklace and earring sets. See description by clicking on the individual product. 

When Haruna found out that this necklace was being named after her, she could hardly contain her joy. Haruna is the beautiful second daughter of one of Nozomi's artisans. She loved wearing the first sample that we made, and we know you will feel equally excited to share hope when you wear your Haruna necklace. 

Like many beautiful things, the design for the Holding Hope Necklace came from tragedy. One of our team members had a number of friends who had, within a short time of each other, experienced deep, individual tragedies.

Our team member was devastated, but still clung to hope for them. She wanted something to give these friends that would remind them she was thinking of and holding hope for them, even if they couldn't see the glimmer of hope themselves. 

She approached our design team with this story, and this design was the result! Initially made from the broken pieces from another very difficult style our team was learning at the time, it's a fitting reminder that even the brokenness of our brokenness still contains beauty.

In keeping with our core value of giving back, each purchase also donates $2 to educate and fight against human trafficking in Japan.
