Mother's Day is nearly ten days away from us. Here are some pieces I would personally recommend, for the most important person in our lives:
The Blue Millefiori Cross pendant is a classic piece of jewelry. It comes in sterling silver, millefiori glass with a sterling silver chain.
The multi-colored millefiori heart pendant is another top selling piece in my collection. The dangling millefiori heart earrings make the perfect match.
Finally, we recommend the Spiral Greek key necklace with a matching pair of spiral earrings.
More ideas coming up soon.

Ward Off Bad Luck by Wearing a Piece of Evil Eye Jewelry
From Greece and Turkey and throughout the Mediterranean basin one will find jewelry pieces with an eye starring at you set in blue glass.
In the antiquity, there was a widespread belief that the fear of the evil eye is based on the fact that certain people have eyes whose glance has the power to injure or even kill and that can be intentional or unintentional.
By wearing evil eye jewelry or hanging evil eye ornaments in the home, one is following a superstition meant to protect one from envy or harm. This bit of "folklore" or history has been around for centuries in many Mediterranean and Arab countries. If one watches the movie "Trojan War", he will notice that the Greeks painted an eye in their boats to protect them from bad luck.
You'll also find the eye in talismans, jewelry, and even on coffee mugs in bazaars in Greece, Turkey, Spain, etc. It has carried over into many other cultures even being found in the United Kingdom and the United States (look at the dollar bill, you will find one in the back).
Enhance your good luck now, be selecting among our great selection of fine evil eye jewelry.
Our evil eye jewelry selection is made with sterling silver and hand blown glass. One will find
a big variety of earrings, necklace pendants and bracelets to chose from.
