FROM OUR ARTIST + ACTIVIST COLLECTION

"Practicing Silence"

Twenty years ago Beatrix made the first practicing silence pin. "I went to parties and when I wanted to be just an observer, I pointed at the pin and I became a listener. I wanted to be there... I wanted to be in a quiet way in the middle of it. I wanted to be in charge of letting New York in and deciding when to talk or when only to listen. It gives you that freedom. You point at the pin and smile; you are not offensive; you are decisive for yourself. While being polite and kind, you do this for yourself."

Each diamond is Kimberley Process Certified.

Each piece gives back to support traditional Laotian artisan livelihoods, village development, community endeavors and further de-mining efforts.
