Traceability
You should know who made your jewelry.
The signature
Every Sol & Stone piece is signed by its maker with a small knot tied into the inside of the cord. This is invisible from the outside, but you can find it. It is a quiet way of saying: a real woman, with a name, made this for you.
Your traceability card
Each order ships with a letterpressed traceability card naming the maker, the village, the date the piece was finished, and the pattern's origin. Every card is signed by hand.
