Beautiful native materials, including stones, seeds, feathers and crystals, are entwined in intricate knots and twisted threads, creating jewelry that celebrates both those that wear it and the earth. May you truly enjoy this quick tour.

Please select any of the categories shown: -- A Little History About Tagua -- TAGUA ECUADOR also known as Vegetable Ivory, corozo, or Exotic Ivory, is the dried and polished nuts of several South American palms. Tagua is remarkably similar to animal ivory in both looks and feel. Tagua is durable and easily carved, and it even mimics the porosity of animal ivory. The biggest difference: Elephant do not have to die. Evidently those similarities were not lost on early botanists who named the palm genus Phytelephas-"elephant plant." Versatility is only one of Tagua virtues. It is also infinitely renewable. In a single year, a female Tagua tree can produce 20 pounds of tagua nuts - that's about the amount of ivory on an average female elephant. The elephant, however, yields its ivory only once; the tree continues producing nuts year after year. The idea of using palm nuts as type of ersatz ivory is hardly new; it goes back more than 100 years. In 1865, a ship sailing from South ...

Celtic jewelry, antiquities The ancient Celtic warriors engaged their enemy as if they would defeat them simply by overrunning them, trusting their brute force more than elaborate tactics and clever strategies. War and warfare definitely played an important role in their ancient society. The end of ancient Celtic culture came when Ireland was Christianized in the 5th century BC, followed by Scotland soon after. The word Druid, referring to the learned class in ancient Celtic society, may itself have come from the word for "knowing or finding the oak tree" and their early gatherings took place in clearings in the forest. Although there is no direct connection between the Tree of Life motif used to symbolize Christ in the illustrated manuscripts and the importance of the tree to ancient Celtic Druids, it is interesting to speculate that the image, if not the concept, has resonated for centuries in Celtic thought and design. There symbols are usually visual representations of many of their ancient customs and beliefs that date back to as early as 3000 BC. The Druids have a startling kinship with the Brahmans of the Hindu religion and were, indeed, a parallel development from their common Introduction European cultural root which began to branch out probably five thousand years ago. Ancient Celtic art has two distinctive styles. It has been only in recent decades that scholars have begun to reveal the full extent of the parallels and cognates between ancient Celtic society ...
