The little note said:
Shipped quickly and even more beautiful than the photos! Made the perfect gift for my mom! Thanks!
I am so happy this little bracelet of mine went to such a nice wrist! I've had this bracelet since the 90s and it's a nice old heavy sand cast one. My favorite Native American bracelets are the sand cast ones.
Here is the updated photo of her mom wearing it! So cool!

I used to miss my Native American jewelry collection until about a year ago, when I tried wearing some jewelry again. Some jewelry I was allergic too within five minutes of putting it on and others lasted longer, but jewelry just felt so heavy after wearing it for awhile and I really didn't miss wearing them anymore!
Here is how I used to wear them all the time when I wasn't allergic to silver!
Most of these have sold, expect for the carinated or pointed one,

Saying Goodbye: I would have never thought that I'd give up all my Native American jewelry or any of my jewelry for that matter. I've waited over 5 years for my allergies to go away from wearing jewelry and now I'm so used to not wearing jewelry I don't miss it! I can't believe I just wrote that!

What I Learned:
1. I used to love stacking these in different patterns and even learned how to pair them so they would make a nice jingling sound when I moved around with them on!
I used to wear them to work and meet up at recess with a couple other teachers who would collect them and we'd try each others on and trade bracelets for the day.
2. My aunt used to wear her stacked too and let me try hers on when I was a child. So fun!
3. Even though I don't wear jewelry anymore I do miss it every once in awhile when I see some that I really like, especially religious jewelry which I still have a lot to list.
This is my last sand cast bracelet, unless I decide to sell my first one

"Harmony. It's not what's lasting or
permanent. It is about individual voices coming together for a moment.
And that moment lasts a length of a breath, or in my instance a
transaction. That's what I think about my time here."---Frank Underwood
from House of Cards or in my case, I think it's "destiny, as well as harmony." See the quote in one of my collages, here
