Italia

Bracelets are hard to photograph properly. This is sturdy, 20 gauge brass, etched with all
manner of Italian symbols: the leaning tower of Pisa, a tuscan rooster, etc.,
and the handmade pure silver embellishment utilized a mold I made of an OLD, crusty, faded earring with no mate that I found in the Piazza dei Ciompi flea market, in Florence.
Embedded with the word Italia. $109

My Camera is Working Again!

Yey! I have so been wanting to share a few new pieces and my camera was
on the fritz! Frustrating, as I am no tech whiz! But I called Lumix, and
they told me how to fix the setup and now I can show this new lentil
bead with European Glass necklace on silver cables. Vintage flavoured with a
tiny little peacock feather coated in 24 kt gold.
Should be under someone's tree!
