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.

From Sergio Gutierrez' Snake Collection,Serpent's Dream is nickel plated.

Morticia`s Wings ~ A Liquid Metal Bracelet ~ Morticia is my role model! "The real head of the family whose voice is low, incisive and subtle. She rarely smiles for it would ruin her beauty. Contemptuous and original with fierce family loyalty, Morticia is taken aback when one of the clan goes astray and does something "pleasant." Her disposition is muted, witty and sometimes even deadly; given to low-keyed rhapsodies about her garden of deadly nightshade, henbane and dwarf’s hair. Quite the gardener, Morticia has a carnivorous plant, an African Strangler named Cleopatra, which she adores feeding. She enjoys cutting the buds off of roses which she discards, keeping only the stems."
"According to her daughter, Wednesday, Morticia applies baking powder to her face instead of actual makeup. She easily allures her husband Gomez by speaking French. Morticia is often seen freely strumming a shamisen." (Loosely quoted from Charles Addams)

Morticia's Wings Liquid Metal Bracelet is named in honor of our favorite vamp. A most Gothic bracelet, with the imprisoned wings of an old computer chip! From Sergio Gutierrez' Micro Chip Collection. Studio Nouveau is proud to represent Sergio's work. We always wear them; to the grocery store, the shop, to lunch with our girlfriends. There is no need to wait for a special occasion to wear Liquid Metal Jewelry.

Magdalena`s Cross ~ Liquid Metal Necklace Magdalena was a merchant's daughter. She was the muse, the sounding board, and likely the lover of Jesus. She was a wise woman who shared her intuitive sense...her woman's' perspective with "The man".

Her cross is the longest of the Liquid Metal Cross collection. Composed of micro- chips, which are used in the circuit boards of computers, Sergio Gutierrez (Father of Liquid Metal Jewelry) embedded them onto a cross base, creating a beautiful, organic surface design. Magdalena has a long chain and a nice weight to her.

Psyche ~ A Liquid Metal Choker "I live with him", she wrote...
"He is much like Tarzan in character, spending most of his time on the land, amidst the birds and elements. His hands are brown from toiling the earth. He runs like a mountain lion, with passion and purpose filling his lungs so fully, the wind heats them. He flies past my windows so that I catch only glimpses of his tall, tanned body. His beard is mountainous. His eyes are the trees. His labor is home.

When he feels my approach, Gabriel withdraws, crouching behind trees. I feel his presence, constantly, and intensely. A couple of years ago, I reached out to him, seeking to connect. I must have pushed too hard. Perhaps my curiosity broke his trust, I do not know. My mountain man slid back into reclusive shadows. At first I felt offended by his behavior, and then something came to me:

In our last life together, I did something (which I don’t now remember) to upset him so terribly, that he vowed silence for not only that life, but for the next one. Unfortunately, he is very stubborn and willful, and has stood by that vow. What he didn’t remember was that we are soul mates. Being such, he cannot control what happens in our dream time...which is where we now meet. More often than any other entity and quite often, Gabriel meets me in that dream world dimension. He’d forgotten what I mean to him when he made that vow, you see. He holds me sometimes... as he if he will never let me go. He reminds me that I am his life. And he says such things with a look. So much of our communication is gestural and telepathic. It is instinctual, and feels skin close to Mother earth, and so right; so correct...that I would forfeit, if I was able, speech...just to be with him.

Though I am whole, he is the missing part of me. It is his polar energy which fills me...and so quenches my psyche. And as I am telling this tale, I have just stumbled upon the story of a beautiful princess loved and visited by Cupid at night, who tells her she must not try to see him. She is Psyche, the personification of the soul!"
