one-gallery was formed by Susan Gilbert after her journey to Bali (highlighted under this month's spiritual journeys). Realizing the value of jewelry created with universal symbols, one-gallery proceeded to design and market their first collection: The Unity Collection 2000. Through superior quality of materials and craftsmanship, The Unity Collection brings wearable art to a global level.

The Unity Collection 2000 is so named for the many religious symbols that have been lovingly hand carved into the esoteric silver (97.0% silver mixed with an alloy of clean copper) that holds our beautiful semi-precious stones from around the world. The items are meaningful to the wearer who holds the inner belief of oneness and wearing it exhibits to the observer your uniqueness. Each piece of jewelry has several or all of the symbols (yin-yang, om, cross, ankh, moon, trinity, star, unity, triskele) representing many different spiritual beliefs, all blended into one exceptional art form that represents mankind. Every piece in The Unity Collection is handcrafted, and each piece is the only one of its kind.

one-gallery not only committed itself to improving world communication and acceptance, throught their unique product line, but also makes efforts within the global community. "It is only fit that our mission resolves to give back to the world that has created such beauty," says Susan Gilbert. With this in mind, one-gallery offers 5% of every purchase to the Childreach Organization, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children and their families overcome the hopelessness of poverty worldwide.

one-gallery jewelry is handcrafted in Bali, envisioned in America, and the gemstones are selected individually in India, the Himalayas, Afghanistan, and Africa. The jewelry items truly exhibit a global connection, in the materials, symbols, and craftsmanship, thus bringing the world a little closer together.
