By Sunita, the necklace is a lovely, contemporary fashion accessory. .925 rating silver Artisan Info: "Hi. My name is Sunita and I was born on August 17, 1968 in the city of Jaipur. Being brought up in a joint family was a great fun. We got to be around lots of cousins, aunts and uncles. Besides the fun, we were taught the values of family tradition, customs, love, respect and all the qualities needed for a complete person. I remember as a child, I fancied the intricate and sophisticated jewelry used by my mother and aunts, and I'd try it on myself. "Besides my interest in jewelry, I wanted to become a chartered accountant, however I could not complete my course. But this did not bother me. "After my marriage in 1990, I decided to revive my dream to design jewelry. My husband, who is already an exporter, inspired and motivated me. I took a course in jewelry designing -- I feel that it is more important in this field to be creative and artistic, rather than just knowing the subject. "I have started to exhibit my designs on a very small scale. My jewelry is mostly traditional with some contemporary touches,

Gianyar is a part of Bali known throughout the world for its beautiful landscapes and exceptional artistic legacy. In 1990, Buana decided to learn to craft silver jewelry from a friend in Celuk. He learned it all, from the very basic skills like sanding, polishing and making plates to very advanced techniques. Supported by his family, Buana has continued his profession as silversmith. 'I am thankful to God for giving me such a great gift so I can make a living for my family. Not much, perhaps, but enough for our simple way of life,' he says. 'Hopefully, through Novica, I can offer a better future to my wife and two children.' What is Worldstock?

What if each drum in your drum set was engineered as an instrument unto itself? Each tom is designed to respond perfectly within the confines of its respective frequency without compromise over any other area of your kit. This is the mission behind these tom drums and all other drums in Pearl's Reference Series. A complete set of individually engineered, incredible sounding drums.In 1999, Pearl began its most ambitious undertaking, The Masterworks Series, the world's first truly custom drums. Designed for the player by the player. Every aspect of the manufacturing process was custom made, from the number of wood plies, the wood selection, to the final finish. Over the last five years, through arduous listening tests, Masterworks has taught Pearl drum makers a great deal about drums and what makes the perfect shell. So forget what you think you know about drums and take a close look at Reference Series, the most acoustically advanced drums in the world. To fully understand the Reference Series you must understand that the desired tonal characteristics of a 10" tom are completely different than that of a 22" bass drum. Thus to use the same material in both drums would result in a compromise. Reference Series drums use a combination of task-specific bearing edges and three time-proven woods: birch, maple, and African mahogany. Using maple as a sole material has long been the traditional choice for shells and for good reason. Maple provides smooth, well-balanced tone that is perfect for a 12" tom. Subsequently, all Reference Series 12" toms are composed of six plies of maple; this is the only single wood shell in the series. Pearl's 10" and 8" toms receive four plies of maple with two inner plies of birch for cut and attack. And for maximum response, all 13" diameter and smaller toms have a rounded 45° bearing edge, a more focused area for head-to-shell contact to boost mid- to higher-range frequencies. Beginning with Pea

Willow Companys Voyageur Pearls are chemically similar in material, weight and luster to natural and cultured pearls. These are man-made pearls produced from the shell of Hyotissa Hyotis also known as Mytilus Hyotis and commonly referred to as the Giant Coxcomb Oyster or Honeycomb Oyster native to the Indo-Pacific region. The raw material for the base or nucleus of the shell pearl is a natural mother-of- pearl bead, from the Hytotissa Hyotis. Fresh shells are harvested and cut, cubed and manually rounded into shape; coated with as many as 28 layers of color and protective finish to create our South Sea finish and grade AAA and AA quality. The depth of color and luster is enhanced using man-made materials combined with dyestuffs commonly called 'pearl essence' or 'pearlescence', which is the iridescent silvery ingredient found in certain fish scales. Also known as essence d'orient, it was discovered in 1656 in Paris by a French rosary maker, Jacquin, who isolated guanine crystals from the fish scales to produce a pearly suspension. Guanine in fact are rhombic platelets composed of multiple, transparent layers but have a high index of refraction that partially reflects and transmits light from layer to layer, thus producing a pearly luster. Willow Voyageur pearls are selectively made with the finest South Sea finish and are superior in quality to other finishes commonly referred to as Rainbow or Single Color which are differentiated by the number of coatings. Poor imitations pearls are generally only single dipped or coated and they are commonly made using crushed old and damaged shell and/or glass and glue, which 'contaminate' and affect quality and durability.

This handmade creation is offered in partnership with NOVICA, in association with National Geographic. Product features: Handmade jewelry crafted in .925 sterling silver Two pearls and two cubic zirconia adorn each earring One cubic zirconia set in silver to form a heart Post earrings Story Behind the Art: Matta Nandrakwang was born and raised in Chiang Rai, Thailand near the border with Myanmar (Burma). I grew up appreciating the rich, diverse cultures of many ancient tribes. The area is rich with gems and the main employment is their trade. I developed a passion for gemstones when my sister and I visited jewelry shops. We would buy what we could afford, and admire higher-priced pieces. I enroll in gemology school, where I learned about gems and jewelry making. I'm also a self-taught bead-maker. This passion is still with me after many years. I have my own studio now, and derive great joy from sharing my enthusiasm and knowledge of gems and jewelry with my customers.' What is Worldstock?

What if each drum in your drum set was engineered as an instrument unto itself? Each tom is designed to respond perfectly within the confines of its respective frequency without compromise over any other area of your kit. This is the mission behind these tom drums and all other drums in Pearl's Reference Series. A complete set of individually engineered, incredible sounding drums.In 1999, Pearl began its most ambitious undertaking, The Masterworks Series, the world's first truly custom drums. Designed for the player by the player. Every aspect of the manufacturing process was custom made, from the number of wood plies, the wood selection, to the final finish. Over the last five years, through arduous listening tests, Masterworks has taught Pearl drum makers a great deal about drums and what makes the perfect shell. So forget what you think you know about drums and take a close look at Reference Series, the most acoustically advanced drums in the world. To fully understand the Reference Series you must understand that the desired tonal characteristics of a 10" tom are completely different than that of a 22" bass drum. Thus to use the same material in both drums would result in a compromise. Reference Series drums use a combination of task-specific bearing edges and three time-proven woods: birch, maple, and African mahogany. Using maple as a sole material has long been the traditional choice for shells and for good reason. Maple provides smooth, well-balanced tone that is perfect for a 12" tom. Subsequently, all Reference Series 12" toms are composed of six plies of maple; this is the only single wood shell in the series. Pearl's 10" and 8" toms receive four plies of maple with two inner plies of birch for cut and attack. And for maximum response, all 13" diameter and smaller toms have a rounded 45° bearing edge, a more focused area for head-to-shell contact to boost mid- to higher-range frequencies. Beginning with Pea

Product Features: Tiger's eye earrings captures the earth's warmth Handmade jewelry's pearls and smoky quartz symbolize nature's riches Drop earrings set in sterling silver .925 rating silver Pearls measure 8mm diameter Hook backs Story Behind the Art: Lilly Rahmann of Bangkok studied arts and crafts throughout school. 'But my plans changed when I married a Canadian, moved to Canada and started a flower business. I also learned floral arranging--how to use natural colors, textures and shapes and blend them. I used these rules when I started making jewelry. I enjoy working with many gems and crystals, trying to match stones not often seen together. I have recently read up on the healing properties of gemstones, and now create pieces with these properties in mind. I want people who buy my jewelry to feel healthy and happy when they wear it.'

Willow Companys Voyageur Pearls are chemically similar in material, weight and luster to natural and cultured pearls. These are man-made pearls produced from the shell of Hyotissa Hyotis also known as Mytilus Hyotis and commonly referred to as the Giant Coxcomb Oyster or Honeycomb Oyster native to the Indo-Pacific region. The raw material for the base or nucleus of the shell pearl is a natural mother-of- pearl bead, from the Hytotissa Hyotis. Fresh shells are harvested and cut, cubed and manually rounded into shape; coated with as many as 28 layers of color and protective finish to create our South Sea finish and grade AAA and AA quality. The depth of color and luster is enhanced using man-made materials combined with dyestuffs commonly called "pearl essence or "pearlescence, which is the iridescent silvery ingredient found in certain fish scales. Also known as essence dorient, it was discovered in 1656 in Paris by a French rosary maker, Jacquin, who isolated guanine crystals from the fish scales to produce a pearly suspension. Guanine in fact are rhombic platelets composed of multiple, transparent layers but have a high index of refraction that partially reflects and transmits light from layer to layer, thus producing a pearly luster. Willow Voyageur pearls are selectively made with the finest South Sea finish and are superior in quality to other finishes commonly referred to as Rainbow or Single Color which are differentiated by the number of coatings. Poor imitations pearls are generally only single dipped or coated and they are commonly made using crushed old and damaged shell and/or glass and glue, which "contaminate and affect quality and durability.
