layer MY PEACE of jewelry African Brass Rings These brass rings were used as currency by the Yoruba people of Nigeria, from the late  1800's to the early 1900's. They were originally braided onto a leather belt, and traded this way. Each ring is individually made, using the ancient lost wax casting method, and no two rings are exactly alike.

It's MY (new) PEACE of jewelry Olive Wood Bead Choker Necklace Just finished this necklace last week. Love it! A couple of weeks ago, I sold a similar necklace and knew I had to make another one, quick! Why? Because it's a beautiful necklace What I find beautiful are the natural Olive Wood beads. No two beads are alike, they are natural and rustic. The Olive Wood Beads are made from the wood of olive trees. Every year the olive trees of Bethlehem are pruned so that they bear fruit, which is an essential process that allows a new and healthier growth for the trees and to generate stability in the environment.
