I have never before now used pearl as the main component of the pieces I create.. just in addition to other things. Some of the most attractive and popular ones are the pieces that incorporate rustic and fine.. so might have hematite, tiger eye, pearl, wood and crystal. Sounds a little questionable but the results seem attractive. I did a series (all different but similar) line called the Passion. I used blood jasper, wood, bone and crystal. representing the cruxifixction. a small cross was incorporated in each. Don’t do any marketing any longer. That is always the trickiest part. It was 15 years ago that I was actively marketing .. Now I do more for fun. Would perhaps eventually like to revisit the chance to make this an income stream
