Handcrafted Metal Microscope Ornament

Handcrafted Microscope Ornament. Intricately made from metals including plated nickel, copper, and brass (no lead or harmful sbustances). Pieces are designed to be as safe as possible with minimum sharp corners and edges. Not intended for small children. Fair trade product made in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Twenty years ago the Thai village of Chiang Mai was chronically poor. Economic despair forced close-knit families to split; children went to work in Bangkok's factories and village life deteriorated. Today, over 400 villages work together to craft this beautiful metal work. Each purchase literally changes lives for the entire village.
