  • Sarah, this stuff is just fantastic! I have often been tempted to open one of my amulets, but they are all intact and I hated to ruin them. I am enthralled by this. And to think that probably at least fifty percent of Islamic ethnic jewelry is amulet -- all the treasure that is inside! This humanizes and personalizes these items so much which is why I love this jewelry -- it is so personal, much more than just metal and beads. I simply don't feel the same about western jewelry.
  • I couldn't agree more Patti.

    These pieces echo those who have loved and worn them.

    This gives a depth of meaning to the pieces. I would even go so far as calling it an energy.
