1 Handmade in Mexico, the recyclable tin and glass “Hacienda” lantern can sit on a table to shelter a pillar candle, or hang from the ceiling as a light fixture.
$54.95, novica.com

 

2 Throw out the old rule for metallics: Mix silver and gold as you fancy. A gilded runner or place mat, like this fair-trade version made in Pakistan for ABC Carpet & Home, makes for a rich accent piece.

3 Crafted by farmers in Rajasthan, India, the “Temple” tea lights from World of Good were handmade by pressing individual mirrors and beads into warm lacquer.
$4.95 each, worldofgood.com

4 Why buy new silverware? Set the table with mismatched vintage patterns, like these French forks, for a less formal, more eclectic feel.
$48 to $156 for six, ABC Carpet & Home 212.473.3000

5 Shimmery, jewel-toned plates from Fire and Light are made from recycled glass, and show off the color and pattern of the tablecloth underneath.
$26 to $34, fireandlight.com

6 Vintage Indian saris can be recast as beautiful, unexpected table linens. Cover your entire table, or lay one folded down the middle as an accent.
