"R40"

After being defeated at the Battle of Actium on September 2, 31 BC, by Augustus Caesar (Also known as Octavius) and his formidable general, Marcus Agrippa, Cleopatra and Marc Antony fled to their home in Alexandria, the heart and soul of Cleopatra's vast and wealthy empire. It took some months before Octavius came for them. Several small battles were fought in the interim. Finally, as his army pressed upon them, Marc Antony tried and failed in one last battle. He heard news that Cleopatra was dead. Some say he heard that she was making arrangements to join Octavius. He fell upon his sword...the Roman' version of dying with courage. He was brought to Cleopatra's tomb, where she lay sealed, in waiting with all of Egypt's treasure. Her plan was to burn it to the ground if Octavius refused her son the right to rule Egypt.

Marc Antony was brought to her, bleeding to death. She had him hoisted through a window in the upper reaches of the tomb. He died in her arms. As she suffered the anguish of his loss, one of Octavius' soldiers was lifted through that same window. He captured her...dagger in hand. Within the next couple of weeks, Cleopatra conceded to join Octavius in Rome, provided that he allow her to properly bury Marc Antony in her tomb. She began an elaborate funeral ritual...with prayer, food and treasure offerings to accompany him in the afterlife. Amongst those goodies was a seemingly innocent basket of figs. Unbeknown to Octavius' soldiers, two Asps had been smuggled inside that fig basket and awaited their particular moment in history. The Asp is a small snake from the Cobra family. It is said that Cleopatra tested the venom of many poisons and poisonous snakes to see which caused the least pain. The victim of an asp bite becomes sleepy and euphoric, as they quietly pass into the underworld. Much to Octavius' dismay, two marks were discovered on the arm of a dead Cleopatra; the most exquisite of queens.

Cleopatra's patron goddess was Isis and thus during and for hundreds of years after her reign it was believed that she was the re-incarnation and embodiment of the goddess of wisdom. Cult tombs were found throughout Egypt and abroad, in honor of Cleopatra.
Cleopatra's life is one of the most romantic stories ever told. Besides being the lover and wife of the two most powerful men in the world's history, she nurtured a country from its knees to become the wealthiest of its time. A great lover of education, Cleopatra's Alexandria was the world's intellectual epicenter. Most people don't realize that Cleopatra had not a drop of Egyptian blood, but was of Greek/Macedonian decent. In addition to her native Greek tongue, she spoke 8 languages, wrote numerous books ranging from perfumery to medical treaties. She was an astute politician, businesswoman and I would imagine a ravishing lover.

Mesopotamia ~ A Liquid Metal Bracelet ~ Sergio Gutierrez was in a good mood the day he came up with this one... Surely, he had just awoken from a dream where he ran through the streets of ancient Mesopotamia, and nearing the face of Medusa, the snake haired guardian-protectress who would turn those who gazed upon her to stone, he kept running.

Mini Diamond Liquid Metal Bracelet The Liquid Metal, Mini Diamond bracelet symbolizes eternal love.

A great philosopher once said that if love is found inside oneself, she will then have it to give. Our take on that is to honor our bodies, our intellect, and importantly, our spirit, where love resides.
Love is the opposite of fear.
Without fear, we are left with only peace and happiness.

The ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were tears from the Gods...Of course it is the facets within these tears, from which the diamond symbol is born.
Is that not interesting to ponder?

The Mini Diamond is a very light Liquid Metal Bracelet.
It is composed of silver colored, nickel plated ball chain, with a diamond detail in the center.
It is wonderful worn alone, or layered with other bracelets.
Simple and smart...a lovely piece to wear everywhere, everyday.
It also makes for a wonderful gift.

Pandora ~ A Liquid Metal Bracelet When Pandora first appeared before gods and mortals, wonder seized them as they looked upon her. Pandora, the first woman, also known as the "All Giving" Goddess was a version of Mother Earth, sustainer of life. Mistranslated as the keeper of a box, in fact Pandora was the keeper of a jar which contained all known evils. Tempted by curiosity and its great beauty, (who wouldn't be?), Pandora tried to seal the opened the jar after unknowingly releasing its nasty contents. She was unable to do so, but for one tiny little item...and that was Hope.

Pandora, the Liquid Metal Bracelet is our reminder of Hope. She lusciously covers the wrist and arm, in diamond mesh patterns dotted with hope. The three snaps close one of the widest of all Sergio's Liquid Metal Bracelets.

Colombian born, Sergio Gutierrez is the fabulous designer of Liquid Metal Mesh Bracelets and Jewelry collections. We love him!

Sophia`s Liquid Metal Ring Sophia loved life. She was not afraid of much...and took on the world as if anything was possible. When she decided to study sculpture, everyone said,"Why would you pursue sculpture, you won't be able to do anything with that!" Sophia disagreed. For her, life was sculpture...and everything she looked at was art; from the sadness of those who suffered, to the changing colors and forms of fruit, the sound inside a tunnel, or the way people's hair looked when they got up in the morning. She considered the world beautiful, and dressing herself, one of the delights of being alive.

One of her favorite rings, was one by Sergio Gutierrez, famous sculptor of the cool, exciting and downright wicked line called Liquid Metal Jewelry. She had one in every color. The best quality crystal money could buy, Swarovski. The fine, silver plated ball chain used in these pieces is soldered and antiqued for a wonderful affect. They are flexible laying down, but do not stretch.

Juliette`s Kiss ~ ~ ~ ~ A Liquid Metal Choker She heard somewhere a quote, which dropped itself in her lap during a time when everything was getting to her. It's author was anonymous. It didn't matter.

She decided from that day forward to begin living them:
Life is short
~Break the rules
~Forgive quickly
~Kiss slowly
~Love truly
~Laugh uncontrollably
~And never regret anything that made you smile

She is now looking for someone to practice #3 with!

Luciana ~ A Liquid Metal Bracelet Another being of light is Luciana.
It is likely her name comes from Lucifer, the Prince who fell to Darkness. Although initially the figure Lucifer bears a rather negative connotation, upon reappraisal Lucifer offers us insight, challenging the way we choose to think of the dark. Any one up for a bit of evolution?

"Everything in the cosmos serves a purpose when viewed in the grand
scheme of creation, including anger. Its purpose is to break up
stagnation or stuck patterns. The part of creation that is the most
reluctant to yield to a higher order is what we call the dark;
the portions of the Infinite’s being that are as yet unknown.
Rage is the result of suppressed light.

Thus when Lucifer and his hosts volunteered to embody the chaos and the unknown, they had to suppress their light, causing great rage to form.

This rage can be utilized to break up the density so that those representing the light can turn the unknown into the known (which is light) through their experience
of it."

Stolen from "Spiritual Journeys", but a necessary theft don't you think?

Luciana is another Liquid Metal masterpiece by Sergio Gutierrez.
This substantial bracelet can be worn by a man.
It is an exquisitely beautiful bracelet that leans on the heavy side compared to the more delicate Mini series.

Natasha`s Collar a Liquid Metal Necklace Natasha loves to ponder beautiful quotes. Today these resonated with her:
"Plant so that your own heart will grow. Love so God will think, "Ahhh, I got kin in that body! I should start inviting that soul over for coffee and rolls." Sing because this is a food our starving world needs. Laugh because that is the purest sound." Hafiz "If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awake-Aye, what then?" Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Designed by Sergio Gutierrez, this dream-matic necklace makes the perfect duet with Andrea's Cat Bracelet. Natasha's collar is exquisitely yummy wrapping itself around your collar like the hand of musician.

Cassia ~ A Liquid Metal Bracelet Aromatic, warm, sensuous...Cassia is an aromatic bark much like cinnamon. Ancient Arabian and Indian cultures traded the bark and buds. In Ancient Egypt, Cassia was a major ingredient of the famous Kyphi, a sweet substance used as an incense and for its medicinal properties that often consisted of raisins, wine, honey, gum resins, and herbs. Prescriptions for Kyphi were written in Greece and Rome, and repeated by Medieval unguent makers.

Cassia, a Liquid Metal Snake Bracelet, was designed by Sergio Gutierrez, the famous Colombian born artist. This bracelet, with its slinky snake-like sides and center, is filled with nickel ball chain, which was soldered into a mesh fabric. Warm, sensuous, unusual, and especially nice over her favorite perfume.

Cassia is a comfortable bracelet; easy to wear everywhere. Don't wait for a special occasion, wear it to the grocery store!
