Materials Used to Create our Products
The materials our artisans use are the jewels of the Earth, reborn as
necklaces, bracelets, earrings, chokers, lariats, and rings. Coupling
natural materials with high fashion we have created a stylish accessory
line for every woman and every expression.
Below is a list of materials our artists use to create their jewelry and
supply us with exceptional accessories.

plant world. It can be carved, dyed, or left natural and helps to create
unique pieces of jewelry. We have a whole section of jewelry dedicated to

Horn: Horn is a rich, durable material. Behind its course exterior hides a
breadth of rich colors, tones, and striations that can be discovered
through a long process of cleaning, cutting, polishing, and buffing.
Leather: Black, red, olive, brown, tan, beige, burgundy, red, orange –
almost any color is available.
African Separator Stones: These stones are like discs. They are cut in
slivers and can be multi-color or black.
End-of-the-Day Stones: When Moroccan crystals are made, the dust
that falls on the floor at the end of the day is picked up, solidified, and
made into crystals. These stones are bumpy and textured – filled with
color.
Snake-crystals: These crystals look like the designs on a Rattlesnake’s
back. They come in many colors: orange, blue, black and green.
Carved bone: Geometric shapes, twists, and detailed designs add subtle
sophistication to the jewelry.
Seeds: Natural colors – brown, black, orange, cream, and beige, they
add texture and depth to any necklace or bracelet.
Tinted bone: Some of the pieces have colorful bone that has been
tinted bright red, orange, or blue. These bright colors are a great
complement to the softer, natural tones.
Crude Amber: A beautiful orange tone that we often use polished. These
pieces are crude and full of color.

material that adds a rustic, cool look to the jewelry. Read More...
