ONE OF A KIND: EYE OF PROTECTION

This beautiful beaded talisman was hand made by the amazing local San-Juan Island artist, Maria Papademetriou.

It features Lapis beads, hand-blown glass eye, hand-tooled and sculpted metal work, all lovingly hand strung.

Almost ALL of Maria’s work is one of a kind, each piece having its own unique style and voice.

Maria creates many of her pieces during her annual pilgrimages down to Mexico, where she is also an art teacher:)

Materials:

Sterling Silver (925)

Tumbaga ( an ancient metal used mainly in pre-columbian times), consists of Copper and Gold. If you are sensitive to Copper, Bijan (co-owner of Kalypso’s), has a copper allergy and finds that she is non-reactive to the Tumbaga in Marias jewelry. She also finds that it does not turn her skin green. Due to the quality of the Tumbaga in Marias’ work, Giavonne & Bijan find that Marias work does not tarnish.
