III Step:'Chained' Wedding

In Selargius (near the city where I live, Cagliari), there is 'the selarginus wedding': bride and bridegroom are chained with a chain during the Ceremony...well, my project is a ring for the bride and a bracelet for the bridegroom...but if you are a single, your wedding is with yourself!:O)

ring and bracelet can be divided

II Step:Wedding bracelet...or ring? or chain?

Sardinia has great traditions about Wedding Jewels...I'm working on a special jewel for a unique and creative wedding

a ring with a bracelet:
you can wear only the ring or only the bracelet..

I reinvented the concept of Wedding ring: a chain that binds a bracelet with the ring, like the Selargius's Wedding where bride and bridegroom are chained with a chain.

This jewelry is made in honor of female vanity and grace.

stay tuned....

A new pendant!

'A tree of life is variously,
a) a mystical concept alluding to the interconnectedness of all life on our planet,
b) a metaphor for common descent in the evolutionary sense, and
c) a motif in various world theologies, mythologies and philosophies.'(Wikipedia)

Black Obsidian is a gemstone of volcanic composition attributed with the mystical powers of prophecy and visions.
