Behind the label: A Peace Treaty

Farah Malik, a Pakistani Muslim, and Dana Arbib, a Libyan Jew, created A Peace Treaty after they met while living in Rome, Italy, in 2008. Malik's training in ancient Roman jewellery and goldsmithing, and Arbib's background in graphic, textile and product design have been combined to form a powerful partnership. The label began with a pact, to empower and employ skilled artisans working in regions experiencing sociopolitical strife, including places in Asia, the Middle East, South America and Africa. A Peace Treaty, which focuses on jewellery and scarves, has grabbed the attention of celebrities such as Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani.

with its humanitarian focus and exceptional design, A Peace Treaty's creations don't just look good, they make a difference, too.

the colour combination of gold and turquoise is hard to resist and we're lusting after the Ahtad ring (top left; HK$1,220) in a big way. Wear it with the Nefer bangle (top right; HK$1,229), a carved snake palm-wrap bracelet, and the four stacking rings (above right; HK$1,156), which, conveniently, come chained together.

A Peace Treaty is available at The9thMuse, 12/F, 1 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central, tel: 2537 7598 and at www.the9thmuse.com
