The SilverChicks are proud to present Silver Tukul Jewelry by artist Melissa Nordstrom.
We know that you will enjoy her creations & innovative use of African materials as much as we do.
This gorgeous necklace is made with wonderful African components.
The focal point is rare antique silver ball, from Harar, Ethiopia. One like it can be seen in Angela Fisher's wonderful coffee table book entitled "Africa Adorned". Harar is in East Ethiopia near Somalia and is known for it's wonderful silver (and gorgeous baskets!).
Hand twisted leather by Aksumite monks. Aksum is in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.
Brown hippo bone, from Kenya.
Ethiopian silver accents, from Oromo silversmiths.
