Have you ever seen a reversible ring? This unique piece from the artisans of Intercrafts Peru features two separate stones- one green and one blue- that can be switched around to suit your mood (or outfit). And what's even better is that each stone is said to hold its own special meaning: sodalite supports mental clarity, while serpentine is linked to emotional balance. The combination of these two stones is the perfect tool to help you focus on your most creative work.

THE MAKERS
Intercrafts Peru is a nonprofit civic association promoting export sales of Peruvian handicrafts. A democratic cooperative of artisan groups, Intercrafts Peru allows artisans full participation in organizational decisions. The group's aim is to keep overhead costs low, to share responsibility so more income remains in the hands of the artisans, and to explore new markets. The association's headquarters are located in Lima with other offices situated in the marginal districts and communities of Lima, Ayacucho, Huancayo, Cuzco, Puno, Arequipa and Piura. Benefits to members include health care, loan funds and advances, school supplies and books, training programs and technical assistance. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from Intercrafts Peru since 1993.
