Six curling hearts frame an open star in this pendant, hand-cut from a Finnish coin no longer in circulation. Traces of the original coin design are still visible beneath the varnished finish. The pendant comes on a black braided cord.
The necklace is made by artisans at the Caring Hands Centre in Kampala, Uganda. Founded in 2005, Caring Hands Uganda is a nonprofit that helps women and young people build skills and earn a living. Sales of Caring Hands jewelry help fund its entrepreneurship training program.
