talismans

I have been making these "talismans" to evoke the materials, times and places of the ethnic jewelry I love. They are also meant as lucky charms. I hope to make some more and am seeking compatible elements.

They are very delicate and you can see that each element may have a long history behind it (a journey? ) which makes them mysterious and very attractive. Would love to see more Joel.
