Turquoise Mountain Tavous Collection
Sharon has partnered together with Turquoise Mountain, an organization committed to the preservation of traditional craftsmanship and education of artisans in order to provide jobs and conserve culture in Afghanistan, Myanmar, and the Middle East. She has designed a collection of necklaces using traditional Middle Eastern motifs that will be debuted at the MFA Shop of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston as a part of the Heirloom Project in conjunction with the opening of the MFAH’s new Hossein Afshar Galleries for Art of the Islamic Worlds.
The necklaces were handcrafted by Turquoise Mountain master artisans in Jordan, featuring marquetry patterns highlighted by gold plated silver and assorted natural gemstones. There are ten pieces in this initial collection, each one with a different combination of gold colors as well as diamonds, precious and semi-precious gems.
All profits from the sales of these pieces will go to Direct Relief for aid in the aftermath of the Turkey-Syria earthquake.
Each Tavous Necklace is $1,600.00
