Hi I'm Esme. Many of you know me as the original designer of Lunch at The Ritz Jewelry and Ritzy Couture. I'm delighted to say that I will now be carrying brand new and never worn Tabra jewelry designed by my dear and lifelong friend Tabra Tunoa. Today, I'm offering a brand new and never worn Tabra 925 Antiqued Bronze Sacred Jaguar Belt Treasure from Esme's Vault BB18 As for the mythology and legends, the jaguar was seen as a god in Peru, Mexico, and Guatemala, in pre-Colombian America. Jaguars represent Power, Beauty and Danger, and many believe that Jaguars are in touch with those "on the other side". Tabra has developed an exciting new accessory for your belts, sashes and scarves, based on the coconut shells Polynesians use to fasten their sarongs. Drawing on the many design influences from her years of world travel, Tabra translates these into striking bronze versions in African, Asian, and Mezo-American, even Art Nouveau motifs. Measurements: This Belt Treasure is approximately 3.75" High by 1.75" Wide. Fits on any scarf or sash. Handmade and cast in Bali. Inspired by the Women of the World and Designed by Tabra International. Made in Bali, Indonesia and available directly from me! Tabra combines sacred symbols with semi-precious stones, hand-made beads and ancient materials to create Gypsy earrings, tribal pendants, primitive talismans, exotic bracelets and necklaces. Many of her pieces are one-of-a-kind or limited editions. Whether mystical and spiritual symbols, tribal motifs, shaman-influenced combinations or protective talismans, women worldwide find Tabra's designs both beautiful and powerful. I met Tabra Tunoa in 1973 when we both started working at the same jewelry factory. When the factory closed soon after, we decided to go into a partnership so that we could both sell our jewelry on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley California. Tabra had a small studio in her apartment, and I had one in mine. We would meet every morning and take turns pulling our shopping cart out to Telegraph Ave to set up "shop" on the street with other street artists. It wasn't long before Tabra became a huge success. Travelling the world she inspired strong women everywhere to choose their magic and express themselves by wearing her fabulous and exotic jewelry. Her dear friends Amy Tan and Isabel Allende began wearing her jewelry on all their guest appearances and book signing tours. Tabra had become an in inspiration to all woman to have a voice and follow their dream. Much love, Esme Original Creator and Designer of Lunch at The Ritz™ PAYMENT: |
