Lapis & Orange Dragon Veins Agate Bead Necklace Sterling Silver

This is a great statement necklace of lapis and agate beads. But I am most fascinated by those fabulous sterling silver beads. The colors are great though, as I hear my husband hollering in the background, "Go Gators, Go Gators".  Lapis and agate sterling silver bead necklace can be found here.

Men's Bolo Tie Sterling Silver Turquoise Black Coral Vintage

I listed this one of a kind men's bolo tie with inlay gemstones. The stones are turquoise, jasper and black coral, inlay on shell. It's really well made, with a JA and 78 on the back. I have had this for such a long time and I often wonder, is it better just to to ahead and put it up for sale, or put it in the drawer forever, waiting to figure out what the marks mean, or who the maker is? My drawer of "what is this" is turning into 2 drawers. What would you do?   Men's gemstone bolo tie can be found here.

This is a 5 Strand necklace of hand carved conch shell birds and black glass beads. Don't you find it fascinating at the patience, time and skill it would take to carve these birds for necklaces like this?

Chinese Turquoise Disk Bead Necklace Tibetan Vintage Jewelry

Turquoise may be the oldest stone know to mankind. It has been known by many names, but the word turquoise dates back to the 17th century, and is derived from the French turques for "Turks", because the mineral was first brought to Europe from Turkey. 

For thousands of years, Turquoise has spanned all cultures, prized as a symbol of wisdom, nobility and the power of immortality. Among the Ancient Egyptians, Persians and Chinese, Aztecs and Incas of South America, and Native North Americans, Turquoise was sacred in its adornment and for power, luck, and protection. 

Isn't this Chinese turquoise bead necklace incredible? You can find it in my store. Chinese turquoise disk bead necklace
