Tagua tree grows in the tropical rain forests of some South American countries, mainly Ecuador, Columbia and Venezuela. As for the outfit. I'm wearing black pleather pants. I know they are a little out of season, wearing them in the Spring. But last week it was pretty cold, so they were okay to wear.

MY (new) PEACE of jewelry - layering options

I really do like options, when it comes to MY PEACE of jewelry.  Besides making statement PEACEs,   I like PEACEs that can be worn alone or together.  Lately, I have been combining varying metallic chain links to create multi-strand necklaces. Then, combining with a single strand necklace that features a unique pendant.                Both rings available on Etsy       Turquoise Pendant available on Etsy      Layering necklaces is fun and easy way to change your look. I love having the option to have an afro-ethnic, southwest and/or bohemian by my choice of necklaces  Handmade Jewelry & Mannequins by Zalina
