Ethnic Jewelry for
You
|
|
My exploration
of ethnic textiles seems to connect with the jewelry, beads and ornaments, of most regions. Having
collecting vintage pieces for years, I am now creating unique necklaces from my resources for you
to own and enjoy. Because jewelry tends to endure over the years, many of these pieces are from
centuries past.
