The bear as a spirit animal
is a powerful grounding force filled with strength. It is symbolic of
courage. I think this is a good choice to kick off our inspiration of
totems. I like that Miss Kathy chose to go with the warmer tones that
are present in the painting, the rusty brown, the golden ochre and the
soft sage green all give this necklace has an earthy quality. I am sure that it would give the wearer protection from adversity and strength to face what comes.

Kathy featured the pendant from Blu Mudd from ceramic artist Moriah
Betterly. Unfortunately, I have learned that Miss Moriah has decided to
discontinue making jewelry components and focus her work on more
sculptural and useful pieces, like mugs and pottery. I know that many
designers over time have used her lovely pieces, and I am sure we will
continue to see them pop up in designs. We wish Miss Moriah the best of
luck in her new endeavors.

If you wonder what waist beads is, this is the answer.
You’re going to adore your Jel-jelly, Jigeda, Giri-Giri, Djalay Djalay or Yomba, whatever you want to call them in your language. Waist beads are also known as belly beads, waistlets, or beaded waistbands. Fall in love with these quality pieces that serve a variety of purposes, from keeping you aware of your weight changes, to giving you a boost of confidence in your femininity, to simply being a pretty accessory – a necklace or bracelet for your waist. In my tradition women wear waist beads to stimulate their husband sexuality. Adornments made with gemstones carry further significance, as the stones typically represent qualities such as love, strengthened relationships, purity, balance, and energy.
Your waistbeads can be worn underneath your clothes in private (as per tradition) or shown off at the beach and pool, and some styles can be worn during daily showers. For some styles, it is suggested to remove them before your daily showers. They can be cleaned as needed with gentle jewelry cleaner.
