Also featuring custom beaded jewelry, you tell me what beads and style you want. See below for more information.
The photo below shows an assortment of some of the more unusual beads that I use in my designs. I think that the Malas and the Tibetan Prayer beads are particularly interesting. Malas can be made with wood, glass, semi precious stones and many other wonderful and unique beads. Some of prayer beads have the Om symbol or a Buddha etched into them. As you can see in the photo there are several different hand-carved bone beads that I use in my jewelry along with real "seed beads" gathered from the Navajo nation. The African Krobo beads almost speak for themselves, with their amazing colorful designs - each krobo bead can truly be a work of art.
The Mala are mainly used to count mantras, which can be recited for four different purposes: This is a special handmade jade prayer bead mala from Tibet. This mala was beautifully crafted in Tibet by skilled Tibetan craftsmen in authentic traditional style! Very hard to find -these jade prayer beads are worthy to collect. A full-length Tibetan mala is usually comprised of 108 beads, plus a guru bead. The tassel symbolizes the feet of the lotus or a thousand lotus petals. When a person has masterd recitation of the prayer, the mantra permeates the very atom of your being. It is very powerful.
New custom designs - Do you have an outfit that is perfect in every way - except no bracelet, earrings, or necklace to go with it to complete your fashion statement? I am now doing custom jewelry design. If a picture of the item can be e-mailed or sent by regular mail, I can solve your jewelry problem. Specify the style or feel (chunky, dainty, colors...).
