Special Events

Necklace Event, Thu Jan 28 - Sun Feb 14 2010. From now until Feb 14 you will be able to enjoy a 25% discount on necklaces priced 50$ or more. A necklace made from silver plated copper coils in Kenya, Taureg necklaces from Burkina Faso, beaded Zulu work and necklaces with a piece of carved gourd from Peru are a few of the unique pieces that are included.
