Artisan's Story:
My name is Ramir Cortures from the Philippines. I had lots of time as a child to draw and began to design handicrafts, then home decors and now I specialize in fashion jewelry. Through my craft I am able to support my family – my parents, my brothers and sisters, my wife and my children. My designs are inspired by nature and I enjoy using the beautiful and unique natural materials available in the Philippines.

Artisan's Story:
I am Budi Hartanto, living in Bangkok. For twelve years I have been blessed to be able to support myself through the art of jewelry design. I started selling my handicrafts on the street, and through the grace of God I have gradually added the capability of working with metals. I seek to offer designs that can be worn by both men and women.
