By the way, turquoise is considered the universal color...which everyone looks good in. This locally designed and made lariat, is strung on copper colored silk cord and each bead is knotted. It "clicks" into place wherever you tie it. Tie it up, like a tie, dropping it to knot wherever you blouses neckline falls. Swing it around your neck and tie it centered or to the side. Swing both ends around the back, and you'll wow everyone in your backless dress or halter.

The most popular way to wear it is to hold the lariat in front of you, with both ends in one hand...(doubled) Then place it behind your neck and pull the ends through the looped side. Wear it centered or to the side of you neck and Voila!

Gloria`s Gem Liquid Metal Bracelet What makes Gloria such a beautiful gem, you might ask?
She just has that easy way about her...that makes you feel comfortable and like you're at home. She has the kookiest sense of humor, and a store to match, a big bright smile like a star, a heart of gold, and a fabulous ear for listening to your joys and sorrows. She wears the first, "Gloria's Gem Bracelet". She got it for her 50th birthday, when all the town-folk brewed together to throw her a big bash. Her golden hair swept her face, and her green eyes twinkled through the summer afternoon, up in the golden Cazadero hills of California.
I was so happy to have been invited.

Gloria's Gem Bracelet has the largest of all the Swarovski crystals in the Liquid Roots collection of Liquid Metal Jewelry. It is available exclusively in crystal clear. Studio Nouveau is your source for Liquid Metal.

This is one of our new pieces in the Sergio Gutierrez' Liquid Roots Collection. Liquid Metal Jewelry is silver colored, nickle plated ball chain that has been soldiered together, making a diverse array of jewelry and personal accessories. They are comfortable, sensuous, and quite easy to wear with jeans or a gown. We wear them everywhere...from the grocery store, to lunch with our girlfriends...like Gloria!

The Search a Liquid Metal Necklace The woman is completely comfortable inside herself.
She cooks Moroccan food with spices ranging from cinnamon, to cardamom and cayenne. Her herbs bring you back to earth...make you want to eat with your fingers.
And when you drink her rose laced wine, you'll laugh yourself under the table. She wears crimson robes of silk; amber, clove and vanilla perfume, and an elegant necklace fall that laughs when she does.
Perfect with a "V" neck blouse. "The Search", from Liquid Metal's ingenious designer, Sergio Gutierrez, speaks to the woman who loves being a woman. The silver, nickel plated ball chain fringe falls into a V shape, but moves with your curves, no matter how flat they may be.

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.

Mini Rose Liquid Metal Bracelet A rose is a rose is a rose...and is also a symbol of love and beauty, a renowned aphrodisiac, and the sacred flower of the Goddesses, Isis, Aphrodite and Venus.

Cleopatra perfumed her sails with rose, as she floated into Rome to meet Marc Antony!

During the Roman era, it was common practice to hang a rose above a door where confidential conversations took place.
The term, "Sub-rosa" meaning "Under the Rose", came to being...meaning,
"To keep a secret".

In our version of this tradition we visualize this secret as our personal mystery...that enticing part of ourselves we reveal only glimpses of.
It builds our excitement, and in turn, men find us alluring!
We often dab a bit of rose perfume under our bracelet... to aid in this ritual.

The Mini Rose bracelet is feminine. It is one of the lightest of the Liquid Metal Bracelets.
It is composed of silver colored, nickel plated ball chain, with a rose detail in the center.
It is wonderful worn alone, or layered with other bracelets.

Delicate, and elegant. A lovely piece to wear to work. It is also happily received as a gift.

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.

Ship`s Candlestick Antique Brass Once...about 15 years ago, I traveled to Italy on a tight budget.
I wandered into a medieval town with many towers, which hovered 1000 feet above sea level, just South of Florence, and North/West of Sienna.
Above the rolling hills of Tuscany, San Gimignano was a thriving Etruscan center in 200-300BC.
It began its life as a town in the 10th century taking its name from the Holy Bishop of Modena, St. Gimignano, who is said to have saved the village from the barbarian hordes.

I climbed to the top of the cobble-stoned village, and discovered a little antique shop with a sweet little old man.
I had never been so enchanted!
I left with one of the greatest treasures of my life. It was a wall mounted Ship's Candlestick that pivots with the movement of an ancient sailing vessel, in order to remain level. As a result of this particular feature, it doubles as a table-top candlestick.

Not long after I left, I began regretting not buying the sister piece; though I'd already spent two days of my food budget on the first one. For eight years, I regretted not buying that matching piece, until finally, I opened my shop, Studio Nouveau. On my first buying trip, I raced with great anticipation, back to the little old man in San Gimignano to see if, just maybe, the sister candlestick was waiting for me.

Much to my surprise, it was!!! The little old man told me that this was a reproduction of an Etruscan candlestick...now being reproduced in Florence.
It remains a personal favorite of all my hunts for "Objects of Beauty".

I use six of them at home...one on each side of my arched window, two on the tables at my bedside, one in the kitchen, and one in the living room, which I carry when the power goes out, or during my candlelit dinner parties.

These are my favorite gift to give couples...because they appear to be loved, universally, by men and women. They also come in silver-plate. (Find them listed separately.)
Our Del Mar, solid and richly colored beeswax candles are beautiful in these candlesticks.
The bad news is that this company has gone out of business and we now have very limited stock of these. BOOOO!
Measures 10" tall
4-3/4" Wide at base.
Molded hook on base adds 1/2".

Lucia ~ A Liquid Metal Necklace A Latin word, Lucia means light.
We gave this beautiful name to one of our favorite Liquid Metal Chokers.

One of my favorite themes…light is wisdom. Light is understanding. Light is the absence of darkness. We are all made of light, as is everything around us. And if that doesn’t stir your imagination, try the idea that all of those electrons making up that light have consciousness. A lofty concept when you ponder it further! Especially if you begin projecting beautiful thoughts from your stream of consciousness, into the world. Speak them out loud. Sing them. Wait and see what happens!

Lucia is a perfect choker. It is the sister to the ‘Lauren’s Answer’ bracelet.

From the Liquid Metal Jewelry, Classic Collection, this piece travels well, with boots, jeans, heels, or a georgette suit.
It is smashing!

Emerald Waters ~ A Liquid Metal Necklace ~ Within My Loden World

Through Loden I peer Onto vastness, ever changing Amongst sage havens Protected by the fierce howling Calmed by the raging blind wind Calmed by a tormented Sea
Through Loden I stride Hearing that whose source unknown... Finds me Feeds me Foals me And sometimes fails me And yet I follow her
Through Loden I pretend And my steady hand falters As focus drifts by Like a pregnant cloud Who is only a wisp She kisses my skin And taps my bare shoulder Vulnerable yet forgiven
Through Loden will truth find me? Does innocence hide me? Does that which is missing Lead me astray? Is jade a color only? Or jaded, is my innocence Stroked by calloused hands
Through Loden I flourish Waltzing first And suddenly within a dream Within his arms The world never existed If I never awoke I would gladly stay Forever in that moment For I am her melody I am her soul
Through Loden my image is reflected Forbid that time should overcome me... In this game of chess we play Over murky water but still... Bubbles of life are floating Which I taste and fill my lungs
Through Loden Moss too, is frail Upon its bed I lie Cool and moist and living Molding to my curves Sculpted by tiny beings I wonder if they too Question themselves
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By definition, Loden is a particular shade of green. It is named after a water resistant woolen fabric used in Bavaria for capes and jackets. It is not as murky as a forest green, but has more moss to it. It is my favorite green; rich, fragrant, and the one I like most reflected in my eyes. Why, you ask? Because it reminds me of the verdant force within me.
Emerald Waters is worn by those of us who feel poetry; for it is not the words themselves that are important, but how they make you feel when you are reading them.

Agrippa`s Choice Belt Essentially responsible for the fall of Cleopatra's kingdom, Agrippa was the amazing military tactician who Octavius relied upon to win his wars. Agrippa was also the brains behind the reworking of Rome's aqueducts, which brought fresh water to that ancient city...not only for drinking but for the baths they are so well known for!

I could see his lady belting her tunic with this piece...all eyes on her.
