Beautiful, Affordable Jewelry

Seems MoonRiverPearls.com isn't the only company selling affordable yet beautiful jewelry. Check out Kenwood Porcelain, http://www.kenwoodporcelain.com/default.html, a collection of ceramic jewelry handmade from colored clays.

According to the jewelry designer, the various patterns seen in the earrings and multicolored beads are created by layering and manipulating slices of colored porcelain to form a block or loaf of patterned clay, a Japanese technique called nerikomi. This block is then sliced to shape the jewelry pieces. After firing, the beads and earring pieces are tumbled in water to create a smooth matte finish.

The necklaces and earrings are uniquely beautiful and surprisingly affordable. Necklaces are just $35 and earrings are $12 to $18. Shipping is just $3.50.
