Artisans use hand tools   to carve and smooth out the stone work. Due to the handmade nature, slight variations in size, color, shape,   pattern, or other characteristics may be evident. Each piece is truly a   unique work of art, lovingly crafted by hand.     These products are   ethically sourced from artisans in village communities throughout   India.  Purchases give opportunity to marginalized groups to improve   their living standards through dignified commerce.  Artisans   are provided training to establish new local groups of craftsmen,   creating a sustainable future for carrying on the tradition of Indian   handicrafts.  Proceeds are funded back to the communities to create   vital infrastructure and medical care to the villagers.
