Hong Kong
First stop on this trip was Hong Kong! One of the things I love about Hong Kong is this wonderful lady and her daughter that I met years ago through a dear friend that make custom jewelry! She has a shop near the Jade market and a stall there as well. My mother has many items from her as do my sister, aunt, and nieces!
This is them hard at work on a couple pcs for me--which I love!!!
This is just a sampling of stones that she has--all sorts! Natural, crystal, Pearl....you name it she has it
You can also buy by the strand--so you can design and string your own creation!!

Isn't that amazing? My husband travels to Shanghai a lot and there is a place like that there that he brings me the most beautiful pieces home from! He has some similar pictures of them stringing their jewelry! So cool Bryan and you are always so nice to think of all of us back here when you travel!

Beautiful beads! I wish I could travel like you do!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great place to create beauty! I have tried my hand at a little jewlery making, and truely appreciate the artistry of it! I try to pick up a bead or two when I travel, (my travels are no where near as exotic as yours!) so the jewlery has special meaning. Your gifts surely have special meaning to their recipients! Thanks for sharing your travels Bryan!
