Jewelry Jewelry Jewelry

Did I mention that I've been doing jewelry on and off for 50 years? I guess I'm a dinosaur now. Jewelry is never going away - even cave people from ancient time adorned themselves. The Romans - the Egyptians even the Pagans did it. Things have changed over the thousands of years but have they? We still love beads and little baubles. I have some 6,000 year old Java beads kicking around here somewhere. African trade beads - I so love them - Murano and ancient Venetians - did you know that there are still sunken ships in the Mediterranean that have vessels filled with beads - just down there waiting to be discovered. It's about the craft of bead making - the varied skills - the beautiful colors and shapes.  I really should get going listing alot more of those treasures I have stashed away. Pass them onto another collector to enjoy.  Think I'll make a promise to myself list more of them. Gotta find them first in my little hoard of treasures.
