Mystic Atlantis Primitive Jewelry Project
My Own Rules
I have a few rules for myself with the Mystic Atlantis Primitive Jewelry project.....1 NO PLASTIC! We don't often use the "P" word around here -- only when we have to! :) Some beads are strung on Monofilament or other plastic coated products for durability.
..2 Use the highest quality materials I can but keep it kinda casual -- affordable is fun!
..3 Choose materials that, when combined, create pieces that might remind one of Atlantis or the style of the ancient Minoans on Crete. (LOVE those frescos!) I keep these words in mind when I'm looking for componants and beads ... ocean, fire, magic, mystery, island, relic, and of course Atlantis and the Minoans :)
..4 Have a plan but keep open to Guidence always.
..5 The final piece has to look hand done -- a bit primative, a touch of tribal -- and perhaps as if it's a treasure recovered from the lost depths of the sea or earthquake rubble. I saw and fell in love with the look of ancient recovered jewelry years ago. But I'm not digging any holes in the backyard, so don't worry -- the jewelry is clean, LOL!
So, I hope you'll find some things to groove on.
Brightest of blessings to all!

About the Jewelry
Hi folks! I'm having a good time searching out and putting together these new little treasures from the Mystic Griffin Nest for my new Mystic Atlantis Primitive Jewelry collection. They'll look great for the Goth and add spark to good 'ol t-shirt & jeans. Many styles will even carry over into the evening -- spoil that little black dress, ladies!
I have a wonderful small selection of pieces already and are photographing them now. I've also recently found some exciting genuine ancient beads to add in to the collection! This will bring the addition of various grades of real gold, and of course, more sterling silver. As always, I want to offer the highest quality products for the lowest prices I'm able, so you can bring home even more cool stuff.
