To see a sketch of this ... http://www.fadwa.com/?p=584 I created this bracelet to match the ring I bought earlier. I wanted something with details, texture, variety and something that was definitely not uniform. I used smooth tiger's eye beads, chips and accented them with silver tubes from Morocco, a silver tassel from Yemen, and gold plated roundels from ... http://www.fadwa.com/?p=581 How soft and satiny these blue agates are! I fell in love with them the moment I saw them. Such a pleasure to touch. I mixed them with pure silver rondels from Morocco, textured and patterend silver, and a mixed blue and brown agate pendant fron Yemen, with great silver ... http://www.fadwa.com/?p=576 One of the most interesting and fun things to do (for me, anyway) is to search the old, traditional souks for treasures.

Thanks Bella! For this piece, I mixed highly textured Rose Quartz Roundels, faceted and satiny, with a very special silver bead that was hand-made in Morocco, and ... http://www.fadwa.com/?p=531 I bought these smooth and silky Carnelian nuggets in Spain. I loved the unevenness of the stones and how each seemed to have its own light, its own shape, its own personality. I used a variety of textured pure silver beads to frame each Carnelian nugget. I bought the silver ... http://www.fadwa.com/?p=528 I love amethyst! This bracelet was designed with a selection of amethyst stones of various sizes, shapes and textures. Some are smooth round balls or deep purple, some are glistening faceted balls, and some are faceted roundels. I’ve also used lovely silver beads from Morocco and Turkey. The delicate flower ... http://www.fadwa.com/?p=522 Inspired by that delicate plant that has survived almost without change since plants came to land; the soft and delicate moss. Mosses have no need for stems or roots, but it likes moist areas. And wouldn’t you know it, that the Japanese have discovered the best ways to use moss ... http://www.fadwa.com/?p=518 The matching necklace to the Girl Who Loved Pink Bracelet in the Bracelets Page.
