St. Nicolas Smokey Grey Beaded Star Ornament

Product description

Handmade and embellished, this striking star-shaped decoration features gold bead, white pearl detailing, and a gold thread border on crushed gray velvet.

St. Nicolas bespoke, handmade ornaments are made using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery, which originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th century. This highly skilled embroidery technique uses gold wires and jewels for embellishments. Today, only a few skilled artisans can create these pieces, making each unique. Since 1988, St. Nicolas has worked with a small Christian charity in Thailand that helps disadvantaged rural women find work in their community.
