In some parts of India, postage sized offerings inscribed with an image are meant to represent the object of a petitioner's prayers. They are offered at a temple to a deity in hopes that a prayer will be answered. Once offered, women artisans procure them directly from the temple and recycle them into artistic jewelry pieces. Such offerings are not unique to India; its a tradition paralleling Hispanic folk culture in South America known as Milagros or Miracle.

Crafted by an artisan group in Karnataka, Southern India, each of these stunning Answer To Your Prayer earrings is crafted from an assortment of fabric scraps, metal temple offerings, and beads of stone, glass and clay. Creativity knows no bounds as the artisans also use locally available natural resources such as bark, seeds, and wood to craft these inspirational pieces.

Your purchase sends a ripple of support and is the answer to a prayer for these women who seek an opportunity for financial independence and a more hopeful and secure future.
