Orange peels, which are normally discarded as waste product in other regions of the world, are creatively shaped into decorative arts like dolls and jewelry. Each orange peel goes through a hand-selection process, then treatment, drying and tinting to turn it into a beautiful and unique piece of jewelry.
When threaded into jewelry, a naturally beautiful and unique piece results. Wearers of orange peel jewelry will be treated to a slight citrus aroma that connects them to the natural world.
