Sterling Silver PSTM Bethlehem Olive Branch Necklace

"We are very proud to launch our latest project in Bethlehem with two artisans Tawfeeq and Samer Qattan, a father and son. Tawfeeq has been practising his craft for over 40 years and taught the craft to his son in his workshop, “Golden Zaytouna”. Their work focuses particularly on the olive leaf – an ancient symbol of peace, wisdom, and a source of life and livelihood. More than a year ago, I travelled to Bethlehem and met with Tawfeeq and Samer, connected by Turquoise Mountain, a charity that supports artisans across the globe. Sitting in their workshop, we began designing our first collection.

Together, we created this silver olive branch necklace using traditional techniques.

The sales of this necklace directly support the artisans who handcrafted the piece, and 100% of the profits will go to the World Central Kitchen." - Pippa Small
