Love these earrings

Garnet cocktail ring, 'Traditional Romantic'





By Paula P.
Garnet Indian cocktail ring
This is an example of excellent workmanship. It is not tiny, but I would consider it moderately dainty. It is a gorgeous ring and I love it. I am going to wear this ring a lot. I have posted pictures on my facebook page and told people where they can get it.
Bone pendant necklace, 'Bali Octopus'





By CCR
Beautiful detailed art for my neck
I really love this pendant. The carving is so very detailed and it is scientifically accurate as well, which I really appreciate. It is thick and sturdy so I have no worries that it could get broken.

About Handcrafted Jewellery
Men and women have adorned themselves with jewellery since long before the age of reason! Garlands of flowers, bracelets of woven grass, shells, and stone; such were the first decorations to beautify the human body. We may have been wearing jewellery as far back as 75,000 years ago - 30,000 years earlier than previously believed - according to a recent report by National Geographic News. Over the millennia, jewellery styles and materials have evolved in step with the advances of civilization. From the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, from the Iron Age to the Industrial Revolution (and seemingly back again!), jewellery styles have transformed, modernized, and then often returned to their most basic forms and essential elements.
