Eclectic Gone Wild

Tony and I love designs that combine different eras, cultures and mediums, but we really went wild recently with our new line of stacking bracelets.

We started with a bead loom, something associated with Native American tribes. Then we found some patterns from the Medieval Europe that sparked our imagination and had us drawing designs on graph paper with colored pencils - shades of elementary school. We mixed Czechoslovakian and Japanese modern beads to create the patterns. Then we finished each bracelet with ultra-suede ties again in a bow (very modern and vegan friendly) to Native American design and Pony Express beads reminding us of the Gold Rush period of California history. Finally, we designed them to stack - so they are ultra-edgy and modern.

The results are so gorgeous that we will be adding to this line in the future. But rest assured, while we will continue with the concept, we will never duplicate any bracelet. We want everyone to be confident that when they wear one of our designs, they have a unique, one of a kind piece of jewelry.

Oh, and in case you didn't get our announcement, we have changed our name from Exotic Treasures Jewelry to RIVENDELL ROCK JEWELRY. We can be found at Rivendellrockjewelry.etsy.com
