Super Fertile is a stunning line of jewelry by Kali Arulpragasam, M.I.A 's older sister. And its perfect for those of you are politically minded and like your accessories to speak for you. Her summer collection called Tourism (Terrorism affects Tourism) features over size gold and silver plate necklaces (chestplates actually) and earrings that depict imagery of nine war torn countries: Iraq, Afghanistan, Columbia, Haiti, Lebanon, Central African Republic, Sudan, Sri Lanka and Israel. "I wanted to create a positive tourism poster for the most dangerous countries we cannot visit" explains Arulpragasam. "It was a duty and a mission to design a necklace showing the precious beauty of these nations...a proud identity. These necklaces are to be cherished as are these nations." Each piece is made by hand. Some of the necklaces take three weeks to make and run about $900.
