……………….The time has come, that once in a year time when our Daffodils and Pansies are in their full glory. This sight brings back so many memories….. sweet memories that fill my heart.

……………………….The SAMBURU people are a related tribe of the Maasai……..They too are herders……..They eat raw meat and drink the warm blood of their animals mixed with the warm milk of the cows………Well, maybe I’ll draw the line with their eating habits, but on every other level they are an INSPIRATION…..There are many men featured in these pictures, because I was struck with their confidence, and desire to be the peacocks of the tribe. They are just as decorated with their beads, head dresses, painted faces and brightly colored clothes as the women. How could you not be inspired by these extroverted, free spirited people…………………………..enjoy…………………..much Love……………………..Louis

…………………………There are similarities between the Maasai and the new Samburu necklaces, bracelets and earrings, but the DIFFERENCES are substantial……..The Samburu necklace is THREE ROWS of COLORFUL stripe cording, J487845…..brighter colors than the Maasai cording…….It has the same brass rings on each row, but hanging from the rings are brightly colored SHELL NUGGETS…..all in all a very colorful necklace…..very indicative of the Samburu people…..The bracelet is a CUFF style, J487843. It has FIVE ROWS of the colorful SHELL NUGGETS interspersed with GOLD BEADS. Towards the back the nuggets are replaced with smaller multi color seed beads where the cuff ends, and it  divides and stretches to easily get it on and off……see photo at lower left………The pierced earring is a HOOP style, J487849. It starts at the top with one row of small seed beads, and then divides into two rows of small shell nuggets….see photos above…….For those who love to layer for a more EXOTIC look I have combined the Samburu with the three row BEACH NUGGET SHELL necklace…………..These pieces are very very special. Pieces you will never find anywhere but here…..instant collectors pieces at a very limited quantity………For those of you who love pieces like these….you will be more than delighted with the new Samburu group….The photos could never capture their true beauty!……..I am sure the Samburu people would wear these pieces with pride!…………………….enjoy……………………….much Love……………………..Louis

………………………..The BEACH NUGGET NECKLACE is made with REAL SHELL NUGGETS and GOLD SPACER BEADS, J487851……”THREE” long stands make up this one necklace. It looks wonderful LONG, and fabulous DOUBLED for a chunky important look as you can see in many of the photographs…..I had no need to use two necklaces to achieve a chunky look…..one was sufficient…..ALL of the SHELLS are dyed in these brilliant colors. Combined with the GOLD spacer beads to add GLEAM make this a SUMMER MUST HAVE!!….For the most daring among my Linea Ladies wear the Samburu necklace and the Nugget necklace together for a spectacular look. Iris Apfel will have nothing on you!!!!……This is definitely the most colorful piece I have ever done, and it is…….Pure SUMMER FUN………………………enjoy…………………….much Love…………………….Louis
