Ethical Jewelry: Empowering Artisans and Celebrating Craftsmanship with Handmade Palestine

At Handmade Palestine, we believe in the power of ethical shopping. Our jewelry collection includes stunning pieces that empower artisans and celebrate Palestinian craftsmanship. Made with love and care by skilled artisans, each piece is a testament to resilience, tradition, and the beauty of Palestinian heritage.

Zaytouna Jewelry: One-of-a-Kind Silver Olive Leaf Jewelry
Our Zaytouna Jewelry collection features sterling silver pieces inspired by the iconic olive leaf. Each piece—whether earrings, necklaces, or rings—captures the delicate beauty of Roman olive leaves, making every item truly unique. The natural leaves are carefully preserved, and then handcrafted into intricate, one-of-a-kind designs that reflect the timeless connection between the land and the people of Palestine.

Brass Tatreez Earrings: Colorful Artistry in Every Stitch
The Jamilla Brass Tatreez Earrings are a perfect example of how tradition and modernity come together in Palestinian craftsmanship. Each pair is meticulously embroidered by Palestinian women artisans from Sayadat Falasteen, an all-female cooperative. These earrings feature vibrant tatreez stitching in a variety of colors, a traditional Palestinian embroidery style known for its geometric patterns and symbolism. It takes around two hours for each artisan to carefully hand-embroider a single pair of earrings, showcasing their dedication to preserving this cultural art form.
