Ear cuffs and long necklaces

So..I am really excited about some new things i will be selling in my bead shop www.starbazaar.etsy.com which are finally out of production and on the way here. Ear cuffs. I used to love ear cuffs when they were popular in the 90's, and then again when i was in my 20's... then i forgot about them until i was watching Star Trek the next generation one day and was reminded by Something the bajorans wear (see this board on pinterest for examples). I have a plan for some finished jewelry, and also to sell the others.. as i ordered 2000 cuffs in two colors...

Further, I have been struggling with my loss of a workspace when i decided to close my market stall at the public market. My apartment is not exactly the right size to set up... and i discovered that the things i didnt like when i was able to spread out are actually better for an apartment lifestyle.. I have been doing more time consuming and materials consuming projects. Long necklaces with no clasps, strung on hemp, made with ancient style beads, but with a more contemporary layout... less hippy and more universal.. but still with my cultural touches... This one is made with cast brass African discs, unfinished wood, African pipestone, old rusted prayer malas from Ethiopia, and brass cubes. the color scheme is neutral and soft. And in making that one, i was inspired to make this one. made with brass spacers from Ghana, and Sono wood saucers (my best sellers in my bead shop), as well as brass discs from india. I will be making more of these, and listing them... in my jewelry shop www.nedjmabazaar.etsy.com see ya!
