Here are some more of my jewelry items. I am still learning, so the patterns are rather simple. I hope someone will like and enjoy them. They can be made with diferrent colors or stones. Please e-mail me at: sktaylor@home.com.

Lapis Lazuli and Citrine Necklace, Bracelet, Earrings

This is a lovely necklace of Lapis Lazuli, and citrine, both semi-precious gem stones. The transparent citrine and the darker blue of the Lapis look very nice together. If you like blues, I'm sure you will like this. The set is $25.00.

Brave's Choker

Traditionally, these were worn as protection for a warrior's neck during battles. The long white beads (hair pipes) made of horn and the silver disk (made of abalone shell), were to deflect arrows and spears. The beads and shells were decorative. Now they are worn at Pow Wows as part of the traditional regalia. These can be made of white, as well as black, hair pipes and any color beads. They are tied on with leather bands. They are $26.00 and I will need the neck measurement of the person who is to wear it.

Young Brave's Choker

Even more fun than the Men's choker, is the smaller one for the little one who plays "cowboys and indians"!Personally, I would like to see children learning about the Native people who were here for hundreds of years before Europeans arrived. We are part of what this continent is. Unfortunately, almost all children learn about Indians are Thanksgiving and the times they tried to defend their land and people. These are made also of bone hairpipe, abalone, beads and leather and tie in place. Beads can be any color. The cost is $14.00, and I will need a neck measurement.
