Finally I’m loading the jewelry purchases from our fall trip to Puglia, Italy.
My mission is always to find local artisans on my travels and this did not disappoint.
In the mountain town of Matera, the ancient folks carved their cave homes out of the soft limestone rock. Because the rock is soft it’s easy to carve and voila! This beautiful 29″ necklace holds two lovely sculptural carvings hanging from double red cording and colorful beads.
Crafted in Matera, Italy.
