Alexandros: Custom Piece for Gene
When Gene asked me to create a masculine bracelet with a rainbow colored beads, I knew the design process would be challenging and rewarding. I've never made a man's bracelet before and I had to think of a rainbow-based design that wasn't evocative of Skittles--I needed to create an understated and handsome, pride bracelet. So, I'm happy to present, Alexandros.
I had a lot of fun designing and making this bracelet. The highlights of the bracelet are the leather cording and handmade ceramic beads--both are made by Mykonos in Mykonos, Greece. The company has long been known for the quality of its ceramic beads and leather products.
The bracelet has earth-toned and bright toned beads in every color of the rainbow framed by five gunmetal black beads on each side. The two beads near the clasp are special additions to the bracelet: one lovely brown reminds me of my client, Gene, (his hair and warm personality) and the other bead is deep brown, almost black, the color of rich soil that symbolizes the loyalty, respect, and nurturing we all need to get along in the world. I know that may seem like a lot for one bead to symbolize, but I think it compliments the pride the rainbow beads convey.
The clasp is a bead I've had since my Albuquerque days. It's a brass colored bead with some patina on it already. I believe it is a metalized ceramic bead, and the design is reminiscent of Celtic, Turkish, or North African designs. I only bought four of these beads, so it's a very special addition to this custom bracelet.
Thank you again for the challenge, Gene!

I'm back!
Dear friends and fans,
I've been away for far too long, but, alas, studying for and completing my PhD exams took precedence over making jewelry. The good news is that I passed all eleven hours worth of my exams (the last exam was just this past Monday the 27th), and, to celebrate, I've made three new necklaces that are full of spring colors !
I'll post these lovelies within the next week and hopefully I'll have a couple of pairs of earrings to share as well. For now, here are a few preview shots!
Enjoy!
Jameela

Come out and learn about their amazing summer 2011 1,800 mile journey on the Underground Railroad! Cyclists will discuss their adventures, show a preview of their documentary, and hold a silent auction featuring items from artisans around the Triangle. I've donated a pair of limited edition earrings in support of this awesome cause.
