bejeweled jewelry

"The sterling braiding around the gem gives it a classier, more elegant look," say the Jimenez Family as they present their new design. The collection highlights the inherent beauty of natural jade, stone of immortality according to the Maya. It is also believed, by many cultures, to attract love. This sterling silver ring is crafted by hand in Guatemala.

The alley cat does her best to stay in the shadows. Contending with other night creatures, the feline also prefers to be neither seen nor heard. No wonder they call them "cat burglars!" The nocturnal nature of the notorious alley prowler is captured in beautiful detail by Balinese artisan Made Wardika. The circular pendant features a smiling crescent-moon, hand-carved from bone, with a cat of sterling silver sitting beside it. A pair of faceted garnet gemstones flank them, while the top and bottom are adorned with amethyst and peridot gems. The entire necklace receives a combination of oxidized and high-polish finishes for stunning visual contrast.
