"adami & bartucci"

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.

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.

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.

Moonbeam Mesh Bag "But soft: What light through yonder window breaks?"
Romeo & Juliet, Shakespeare

Did you know that if you set your purse under a full moon, upon your rise, it will be filled with all the money you'll need?

Say these words, "Lovely Lady of the Moon, bring to me your wealth right soon. Fill my hands with silver and gold. All you give, my purse can hold."

Our quintessential Moonbeam bag is most certainly the bag one would use to fulfill such a magical spell; in part because it holds so much!

One of my favorites, the Moonbeam has two magnetic knobs which cling to one another at the top. Pull the magnets apart and the purse opens up to a zipper close. White vinyl lining keeps your possessions where they belong, inside the bag.

Measures 7"x 6"

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.

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!

Mystique Mesh Bag There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.

A markedly sophisticated scent settles in your nostrils as you pass her, sitting with the posture of a ballerina. Something about her causes you to watch any and every move she makes; discerning where she comes from, what she's thinking, where she's been and where her travels might take her. Mystique wraps her, like cashmere kissing her neck. She wears this bag.

With white vinyl lining and a zipper close; Mystique is gathered so sweetly...pictures do her absolutely no justice. I adore this purse!

Chain link strap is about 15"

Measures 7-1/2" x 4-1/2" x 1/2"

All bag and purse sales are final.
She Saw Love Wire Hung Liquid Metal Earrings She stared hard into the mirror, examining the changes her face had taken on. She saw her grandmother, her father, and occasionally her mother's eyes.

Her lines were, however, all her own. Perhaps DNA played a part...but she relished the fact that her first line was from smiling. "That's not so bad", she thought. "If you've gotta do lines, ya might as well get 'em right!"

She wore little diamond shaped silver mesh earrings...within which was a tiny pool of balls, and a center drop, like her heart, full of love and kindness. She thought of the beauty within the lines carved in our faces...and how they will take on the expressions we most often carry with us.

Liquid Metal Jewelry is a meticulously soldered, silver colored, nickel plated, ball chain, designed by Sergio Gutierrez. Columbian born, Sergio is known for his sensuous, artful designs. They are worn by celebrities and many wonderful people the world over.

Waterfall Dangle Earrings You know how some actresses just need to put the dress on to find their minds in the role? Such is the case with Waterfall Dangle earrings. You dream the story, the words will just come!

Nickel plated ball chain. Measures 4" x 7/8"
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!
