MC694 Seashell and Wool Necklace $120
Light as air, these necklaces made of translucent gazelle horn and inlaid with brass designs that resemble hieroglyphics all of whose letters are gracefully curved in vertical patterns. Pale celery, citron, and black. Perfect on an open neck for warm weather; a delicate touch on a cotton or silk dress. (10 1/2" from center to clasp)
MC193 Gazelle Necklace $70
Small silver khamsa foule with open work and repousse small circles repeating the motif. On leather thong.
MC12 Small Khamsa Foule $45
Choker style, but looser, incredibly crafted silver abstract disk-like shapes literally braided together on black wool to lie flat on your neck. Clever clasp, accents of coral and amazonite beads at front of necklace. Extremely dressy or sporty depending... but in any case, a genuine beauty, modern with traditional techniques.
