New from Aziza - on SilverChicks.com - Midnight Dance

Midnight dance - Blue & Violet Kazuri Beads - Necklace by Aziza
This necklace is a bit longer than most of my necklaces and this was done to provide extra drama to any outfit; it measures about 32" around and ends in an all silver S clasp. The three main 35 mm Kazuri beads are quite commanding and all of the other 20-22 mm Kazuri beads match. I have picked up the violets and greens with the 12 mm transparent Chinese lamp work beads and the 6 mm faceted turquoise round beads. Between all of the beads are tiny silver beads which adds light to the entire ensemble. This is magnificent example of the artistry of the hand painted Kazuri beads from Kenya at their best. Check out the store for matching earrings.

New from Aziza on SilverChicks.com - Bali and Coral Necklace

Hand Painted Red Bali & Coral Necklace by Aziza
These are the "new/old" beads coming out of Bali - they are exact replicas of their 2,000 year old antique beads; and these new ones are also very hard to find. And here they are on this joyous necklace! The necklace measures 21" around and the multi-flowered beads are approximated 20mm (because they are hand made and hand painted, they vary slightly in design and size). The large red beads surrounding the flowered beads are Chinese coral in a very deep red. The tubular ones further up the necklace are vintage Venetian. Between all of these beads are 4 mm red picasso druks. The stripped beads that you see at the top of the necklace are chevrons. This is a colorful and fun necklace to wear. Try it out. Check the store and you will probably find earrings to match.

Bronze Focal and Jasper Necklace by Aziza

I have had this antique bronze belt buckle from the 1930's for about 20 years and have focused this 26 inch necklace around it's etched beauty - grapes and grape leaves. The focal measures 2 1/4" in length and 2 3/4" in width.


I have added brass beads of varying sizes from Greece to match. Somehow, the faceted pink-green forest jasper just said that it belonged to this one-of-kind necklace.


There is also one large and stunning lamp-work bead which greatly adds to the "story" of this necklace. This is an unusual necklace and one that is a conversation piece. Check it out!


This piece will enhance just about any kind of outfit - casual or dress.

Turquoise and Bronze Raku Necklace by Aziza - Gorgeous

My favorite bead - raku - and these beads entail all the risks of being put into a kiln and just hoping the right colors will emerge; and they surpass the colors of turquoise. This necklace is a beauty and I have complimented the raku with some extraordinary purple spotted jasper beads - they measure 1 1/2" in length; very special stones.

The medallion is about 2" in circumference and the earrings which match are an inch round and are included in this purchase. The entire necklace measures about 32" around not including the medallion's length. A very special bead that I found is also included in this necklace - They are a bronzed-gold 10 mm vintage bead; perfect for this necklace.

This piece will enhance just about any kind of outfit - casual or dress.
