As of today we have 5 of these necklaces in this color. This shell
is found in the Baja of California. We have found Native American
artists to be so very creative in their art, using a multitude
of stones of a variety of color. When you see this shell...
you wonder how in the world someone could create such beauty
in of all things with materials such as this hard rare purple spiny oyster shell.
Tenacity creativity and a lot of practice and a whole lot of patience
made these artists the award winning artists they are. They never gave up
they kept working until the job they set out to do was completed
to their specific high level of satisfaction...thus creating the art form
and art creation & success they enjoy today.
As you can see its not just something
you can just go home and create yourself.
This is why jewelry such as this, is and will always be, in demand.
Not everyone can find it not everyone can create this and not everyone
can wear it well...You however can wear it well as you do everything well...
It's refreshingly differently, always unique, it's beautiful,
it makes you look good and feel good when you wear it...so that is why
we do what we do. Who doesn't want to feel good and look good?
We are the go between between the artist and you.
Artist should do what they do best..."create"! Then we in turn do
what we do best, create a showplace so we can "sell"!
Then the customers can sit back & "enjoy" owning and wearing such
beautiful jewelry!
