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!

Known for his silver/nickel, ball chain mesh line of jewelry, Sergio Gutierrez is the Colombian born, artist/designer, world renowned for his "Liquid Metal Jewelry". Due to the fluid movement, Liquid Metal is often called "Liquid Silver", a misnomer that still seems to work.

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!

Marion Star of the Sea Marion is one of the most precious angels the earth has ever been graced with. This is her story.

"When I was little, I lived near the beach and spent a lot of time there. There was a place I called, "The Projection Place". As I approached it, there was a little road that went through the woods, then a clearing and then the beach appeared. I went there when I was troubled because when I was there, I could project myself into someplace else...across the sea.
Years latter I would go back there in trying times.
The water is a very special thing to me. It's a being, an aroma...all the sensations; sand breeze, sea air, cool mist on my skin. Sometimes it's the hot sun on my skin, the glitter of the shells, the white rocks on the Eastern coast. The stench of rotting horseshoe crabs...have you ever seen one?"

I don't know what I'd do without her...but I am one of the happiest people on earth having Marion in my life.

Fountian of Youth Liquid Metal Bracelet Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You are as young as you believe yourself to be. I am careful to refrain from calling myself old, because I don't want my body to believe that that is a possibility.

The Fountain of Youth is a particularly slinky silver bracelet, with a flowing, fountain-like ornament in its center. In fact, it is a micro-chip from the computer industry...hard to believe, I know!

Designed by Colombian born jeweler, Sergio Gutierrez, this nickel plated ball chain bracelet is intricately soldiered. Fountain of Youth moves, like liquid along your wrist, as the chain is left free along the sides. This smashing bracelet is sensuous, artful and very unique.

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.

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.
Mini Dreams Liquid Metal Bracelet Mini Dreams are those thoughts we spend time with between the projects that occupy our lives.

Often called "Liquid Silver", Liquid Metal is a slinky mesh that flows beautifully with your body. Our Mini Dreams is quite comfortable and appropriate to wear anytime, anywhere.

This sweet bracelet is the perfect gift for someone you would dream on a star for...or dream on a galaxy for.

Alexander`s Wife Alexander was a poet, a master archer, and quantum mechanics theorist. His wife? she played the cello. She wore velvet when she wasn't riding her horse or flinging arrows with Alexander. Regularly, they would dress up for one another. It didn't have to be a special occassion...they simply enjoyed adorning themselves for their long chats, as they contemplated the cosmos, listened to the crickets, or kissed. She carried her lipstick, the small bone comb that Alexander made her, and a finely embroidered green handkerchief in her Black Art Nouveau purse. It was another gift you would have thought Alexander had brought from a Parisian antique dealer. In fact, it was designed by the famous mother, daughter team, Maya. Cast in black acrylic resin, with lace-like accents in antique gold and green.

Mesopotamia ~ A Liquid Metal Bracelet ~ Sergio Gutierrez was in a good mood the day he came up with this one... Surely, he had just awoken from a dream where he ran through the streets of ancient Mesopotamia, and nearing the face of Medusa, the snake haired guardian-protectress who would turn those who gazed upon her to stone, he kept running.

Worry not. Sergio returned to us to create our Mesopotamia...known to draw and keep the attention of everyone in the room!

Not for the meek, or mild dis-positioned. Mesopotamia, like the cradle of civilization of the ancient world, is a Liquid Metal Bracelet to contend with.

Cicera ~ A Liquid Metal Bracelet Cicera walks at night and ponders the phases of the moon. She tries to determine if how she's feeling relates directly to the moon's waxing or waning. She feels energy building; anticipation as it reaches full. More importantly than her path's illumination, is the white of the waves as they curl over themselves...the muse that leaves no feathers behind.

Cicera, recalls the celestial heavens, like stars in the river of the sky. She remembers a Pablo Neruda poem, "I awoke and at times birds fled and migrated that had been sleeping in your soul." She walks home and curls up in front of the fire.

From his Liquid Metal Snake Collection, Cicera is a ponderer's bracelet. She beckons to those who want something different; you know, those of the black sheep variety!

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.
