She wrote to a friend;
"The Night, like rose, lay down upon a splendid pewter bed.
Synchronal tales resounded then, and echoed in my head...
'It's beautiful, It's beautiful, this life that we now lead...
The moon is rising o'er the sea,
Upon her we must dream.'"

Later, Lucretia prepares herself, smiling to him as she lines her eyes like her little black cat, Nino Muerto. She slips her Sergio Gutierrez' choker on.

It's the only accent she needs, besides a dab of her potion #13...an Egyptian unguent perfume she re-concocted, with myrrh, frankincense, saffron, tobacco, and vanilla bean. She lays a thin film over her collar, and brushes whisps in her hair so that the wind catches it. She winks at Nino, kissing him farewell.

Cleopatra Queen ~ A Liquid Metal Necklace And what a Queen she was...
Charisma, wit, intelligence, and a dedicated understanding of perfumery and it’s effects on others, were some of the attributes Cleopatra relied upon.

In fact, it is said that Cleopatra was not a great beauty. Apparently, she didn’t need to be! What a lesson to us all, in this day and age of the image. Given the choice we all have, isn’t it an exciting challenge to make up where the Gods left off? Or perhaps the Gods were specific in their intentions, inciting us to inform ourselves with character and spiritual health.

Cleopatra was Greek. She came from a line of rulers called the Ptolemy, whose reign began at the fall of Alexander the Great. Cleopatra was not only the last of the Egyptian Pharaohs, she was the only one to take the time to learn the Egyptian language.
Early on, she co-ruled with her two brothers, both of whom she married.

Cleopatra won the heart of Julius Caesar, after escaping a near execution from one of those brothers, by presenting herself, rolled up in a fine Persian carpet at Caesar’s feet. Their love affair carried on until his murder.

Though she bore him a son, "Cesarion", the Roman climate did not allow him the throne, and the co-ruler ship fell to Caesar's nephew, Octavion, and (much to Cleopatra's delight) Mark Antony. Oh my what a delicious fellow he was!

This most fabulous of historic sagas continues in another Liquid Metal Story. 'Search' for "Cleopatra's Kiss", coming soon!

Sultana, Hand Flower Sultana, or 'Hand Flower' bracelets are a traditional adornment worn by Middle Eastern belly dancers.

Historically, belly dancing beckons to tribal birthing in the Middle East, where "...women walked in a circle, executing belly rolls and flutters with the mother alternately joining the circle or squatting." This tradition represents the "...mysterious conception of life, the suffering and the joy with which a new soul is brought into the world."

Also known as 'Slave Bracelets', these bracelet/ring combined were/are common adornment in harems and amongst sensuous entertainers.

The ladies here at www.liquidmetaljewelry.com find in them the epitome of beauty and enjoy how they bring out our sensuous nature; as our hands are inclined to poise gracefully when we wear them. The two side chains are meant to slip over the pinky finger and thumb. We sometimes make a loop with the pinky chain, wearing it as second ring.

Sultana is reminiscent of henna tattoos, meticulously painted on the hands of brides before their weddings, as well as on other social and holiday celebrations and ceremonies, since the early Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean and now world-wide.

They are like lace of soldered ball chain, plated in antiqued silver and studded with a Swarovski crystal.

Select from Clear/Zirconia, Ruby Red, Blue Sapphire, Peridot Green, Emerald Green, Yellow Topaz, Pink Tourmaline and Pale Aqua Blue crystals.

Measures 7-1/2" Long by 5" Wide
The Ring is about size 8, though it works on many finger sizes.
Diagonal Dream Liquid Metal Bracelet I've always thought this the perfect Liquid Metal bracelet for an art gallery visit.

It is chic, modern, and wonderful also, when both snaps are closed. Fabricated with nickel ball chain, this is a bracelet from Sergio Gutierrez', Liquid Metal Jewelry, Classic Collection.

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!

Port Caramel Covered in Cocoa and Chili Large (12oz.) The kind of people who follow this unusual blend of tastes, time after time, back into our store, are often the artists, eccentric types, and epicurians. As they are popping a sample into their mouths they always say, "Oh it's not hot at all...oh wait a minute...now I'm beginning to feel a little heat in the back of my throat!" We have these chocolates handmade with just the right amount of spice, so that the average person's palette can handle the spice. Some delicate palettes find them sizzling however.

They are great with a glass of port, with an apple and cheese, or one their own. The combination of sweet chewy caramel, with the distinct chocolate powder roll and then the final Jamaican spice blend dusting the top is like no other candy we have ever tasted. Yes, we've been known to binge on them...regularly!

Our policy is to wrap these up and send it as a gift to a friend, or a gift to yourself.
Christina`s Cross ~ Liquid Metal Necklace Paul Ferrini once said,
"You don't need me to bring you to the feet of the Divine. You are already there." We can find the answers to our prayers when we listen to our heart.

Christina's Cross is composed of micro- chips, (pretty little elements used in the circuit boards of computers). Sergio Gutierrez, the Father of Liquid Metal studied Electronic Engineering, where he was surrounded by these elements. He began creating organic surface designs with them, which eventually lead to this his Micro chip collection. Christina's Cross is one of those. She has a long chain and a nice weighted feel.

Portia`s Purrr ~ A Liquid Metal Bracelet She howls at the full moon. She howls when she feels like it.
Her cat looks at her, like she's taken one too many herbs.

She read something that resonated within her...
because she realized it had been her experience;
"Your own words are the bricks and mortar of the dreams you want to realize. Your words are the greatest power you have. The words you choose and their use establish the life you experience."
She thinks, "What a woman that Sonia Croquette must be...to make such a statement!"

Portia looks at her wrist. A lovely pattern of negative spaces breathes lightness into her new bracelet. Although it is a medium wide Liquid Metal Bracelet, it is airy, and moves with...."purrs", her cat says. Purrs? He insists.
OK, it moves with purrs. I have to agree with you sometimes...even when you're are being silly!

From the Classic Collection, Portia's Purr is made of nickel plated ball chain.

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

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!
