How’s this for a statement necklace?! This Mofu Hammered Cache-Sexe Pendants with hand hammered brass bicone beads that came to us from Cameroon / Nigeria would certainly fit the bill for an outstanding and eye-catching piece, but that’s not the only way a piece such as this could be worn. Mofu and Kirdi Tribal Peoples used “cache-sexe” brass pendants and beaded aprons were created primarily to “hide the sex,” or genitalia, of girls and women. They were traditionally presented to a family upon the birth of a daughter, and they were worn on special occasions such as weddings and the presentation of newborn children.

I *just* spotted these striking vintage Mexican hand milagros, and pretty much immediately pondered attaching a brooch pin to the back, or turning one (or more) in to a hair clip!

My goodness — what a wintery weather day we’ve had here in NYC! Indulge in some fire-y hued gemstone goodness with our lush, softly faceted Brazilian Sardonyx bead strands. Sardonyx combines alternating layers of sard and onyx; like onyx, it shows layers of parallel bands—instead of the curved bands that compose agate, another type of chalcedony. Used as a stone of strength and protection since ancient times, sardonyx is associated with courage, happiness and clear communication.

How positively lovely is this palm sized brass White Tara figure?! White Tara is often prayed to for improving health, healing and for longevity. She offers healing to our wounds, whether it is our bodies or our minds that have been hurt. In Buddhist tradition, Tara is actually much greater than a goddess — she is a female Buddha, an enlightened one who has attained the highest wisdom capability and compassion.
