Larimar Belt Buckle


This fabulous belt buckle is 92.5 sterling silver and comprised of cast cowrie shells and a bezel set Larimar center stone. The stone comes from the Dominican Republic and has only been mined for the last 35 years (which makes is a relatively new discovery). I love Larimars' light blue tone and felt like it was the perfect stone to mix with cowrie shells as it has a sea/ocean feel to it. It would look great on a leather belt worn with a sassy pair of jeans !

Everyone loves Garnets !


These Faceted garnet beads are a deep, rich wine color. The earrings have little flashes of silver from the Bali flower beads that are on each little beaded "matchstick". When worn, the bracelet makes a "shinka shinka" sound as the beads move around on the handmade silver chain. All findings are 92.5 sterling silver.
