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.
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.

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!

Mini Delight Liquid Metal Bracelet He is actually one of the greatest delights of my life, who says things like,
“My eyes are so bad I have to wear my contacts so I can see my dreams.”
He never ceases to challenge my intellect. He is the man from whom I have learned the meaning of "Wit". He is certainly one of my greatest friends.
His name is Bill. He lives the quiet life of a hermit. I've been taking lessons from him on the subject. He was once an engineer, who now writes stories, calls to and feeds the birds, chops the wood with which he heats his home above the river, and spends some of the favorite moments of my life as my drinking buddy.
Whether it's tea, or tequila, Bill is my encyclopedia companion, my dictionary of "The Olden Days".
The Mini Delight is Studio Nouveau's bracelet to honor our greatest friends. Thankfully they are here for us to love!

Hammer/Multi Tool The coolest tool we have found...this multi tool has a feature that most don't...a nice little weighted hammer. Not only does it have a hammer; it also has a saw, needle-nose pliers, both standard and Phillps-head screw driver tips, a razor sharp knife, a nail puller, a hex bit holder, and a Velcro pouch that slips onto a belt!
The first time I used mine was on a camping trip at Strawberry Bluegrass Music Festival.
I'd never camped alone. SO...I bought myself a 12 person, red tent that you can stand up in, a queen size air-mattress, my down comforter, a bottle of Patron tequila, and a vessel to hold hot water around the clock! I laid my Arabian Nights rug in the center...picturing a man who's whisking away his princess upon the back of a racing horse!
Anyway...I could never have set my camp up in this location, because there were some 5" stumps that needed to be cut lower in order to have flat ground. I used the knife numerous times, and the pliers to help untie knots.
Women keep them in the kitchen so they don't have to run to the garage every time they want one of these tools. People keep them in their cars...I am told to break the window in case they get stuck in a lake. We at Studio Nouveau think it's a better idea to avoid driving into the lake! I keep mine in the glove box too...to cut open fruit on road-trips, fix my broken jewelry, or in case I need to tap on my starter, should it go on the blink!
These are one of the hottest gifts we carry at Studio Nouveau. They make great stocking stuffers, and are well received by those guys who are difficult to find gifts for. They are also the right price, at only $25.00.
The pouch comes with a Velcro-close pocket on the backside...to hold extra nails, screws, toothpicks, or even your favorite chewing gum!
Measures 5-3/4" Long
2-3/4" Wide

Serpent`s Dream ~ Liquid Metal Snake Necklace Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is derived from the story of Cleopatra and Marc Antony.
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.
Serpent's Dream is our homage to Cleopatra Wear it in her name. Wear it with honor, faith and integrity. Wear it with all the love you have in you!
From Sergio Gutierrez' Snake Collection,Serpent's Dream is nickel plated.
