New handmade shaman necklaces

I have continued the shaman jewelry project discussed here before twice, HERE and HERE. The new necklaces continue the idea of handmade assemblages, combining items of various colors, materials, and textures, but there is a new freedom in combining them. They include a wide array of elements, made of bone, coral, semi-precious stones, glass, glazed pottery, raku, natural leather, bronze, silver, and shells.

I also found new ways of hanging them on the leather cord that closes in a toggle system. All items are available on my online store - Atelierul de istorie.

Shaman jewelry

Being away from the studio too long always leads to a return to jewelry-making. With a new stash of lovely elements (some donated by my good friend and jewelry maker Viviana and some recently acquired from the minerals and gems exhibition in Cluj, Mineralia), I started a new set of unique necklaces. I have combined semi-precious stones, bone beads, leather elements, shells, connectors made of bronze, wood and glazed pottery and the result was so close to "statement jewelry" pieces that they made me think of shamanic accessories or "parade" objects of personal adornment.

They are available at www.atelieruldeistorie under "Novelties".
