Purple Pearl and Carved Bone Bracelet with Hill Tribe Silver Accents

I call this piece Neoclassic Heather because it has a sort of antique feel with the pearls and carved bone,but there is also a modern edgey element with the hill tribe silver toggle and discs and swarovski bicone crystals. Carved bone has come back into fashion recently and is used by many beading artists.
At first the thought of carved bone might seem unpleasant, but the idea does grow on you if you give it a chance, ha ha ha. If you think about it; it was no doubt one of the more available materials that could be used for jewelry from the beginning of mankind. I'm sure rocks and shells and pearls (which also come from animals) have always been admired for their prettiness, but look at how this bone can be carved into a beautiful pattern. Interesting!
This piece is available here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8601149 and will fit a smaller wrist; about a size 7 or smaller.

Black and White Geometric Mod Set

This playful set is made with white mother of pearl shell, black onyx, smoky quartz and sterling silver. It was inspired by some beautiful fabric which was black with white and ivory circles.

I just saw Target advertise their new mod dresses....perfect! This set is not yet in my etsy shop. Please inquire if you are interested.
