Blue Jewels

I’m still behind on everything, so here’s a drive-by post of some bijoux that I have recently acquired but haven’t got ’round to writing bout yet. Like the trade beads pictured above. Or the lapis lazuli earrings pictured below.
The earrings are stamped Nakai which is the mark of a shop in Santa Fe that specializes in Native American jewelry. The bracelet below is local — it bears the label of  Hedy Hill Creation of Toronto, Canada.

And finally, I picked up this crazy handmade necklace on New Year’s Day at the St. Lawrence Antique Market. I put it up on Etsy and it sold in a day. I miss it already.
