This holiday season, artist Yvonne Yao, founder of YVIE, has chosen to create unique designs for “Gift to Empower”, 24 days of unique one-of-a-kind daily designs for a cause. From December 1 – 24, 50 percent of all proceeds from Gift To Empower will be donated to Humanity Unified International, a charitable organization dedicated to lifting vulnerable populations out of poverty through education, food security programs and economic opportunities. The proceeds will be invested into a women’s farming cooperative project in Rwanda that will provide health, rights and business education along with all the tools, training and inputs necessary for 100 smallholder farmers to rise above poverty.
DAY 13 –CLEO
Yao’s inspiration for this piece…
A sister piece inspired by “Ruby”—CLEO romances the retro revival vibe with a splash of exotic drama and a hint of jazz lounge glitz. Reminiscent of the historic collared necklaces from Cleopatra’s wardrobe, this flirty piece is crafted from sterling silver wire, red coral, spinel, and labradorite.
