The area around the Italian Tuscan region is filled with many hilltop towns which are joy for the eyes…and cameras. From the grand San Gimignano with its 13th century tower houses to Montepulciano with its stunning Piazza Grande to smaller Monteriggioni with its fortress walls, you have it all. There is so much to do in these towns. Yes, they are quite touristy, especially during the height of the season, but the cultural overload is worth it. The sights, the sounds and the smells all conjure up that romanticized version of Italy you’ve always dreamed about. If you’re lucky, you will have the chance to stroll through the alleyways in search of that perfectly shaded outdoor café. Just when you think you have time to sit and scroll through the photos you just took while enjoying some of the local Chianti, you realize that you don’t have time because your camera is up and snapping away again at the life passing by. The textures and colors in those towns are so ancient and rich you wish you could find a way to duplicate them back home. You won’t ever be able to. However, quit your worryin’ and check out this bracelet made for this specific reason. The colors in this piece do reflect many of the colors you will see there. When I saw the Blue-Red-Golden Pottery Beads, I instantly thought of Tuscany. Included are Red River Jasper and Picture Jasper that not only represent some of those Tuscan colors, they also reflect some of the textures in the walls and in those streets you experience. The Hand-carved Yak Horn, Ox Bone and Stamped Brass add the historic feel to the bracelet. Also included is a unique Bone Mala Skull to remind you to put the camera down from time to time so you can soak up the vibes around you. Stay thirsty my friends…
