Here's my wedding necklace (made by Carolyn Attal in Scottsdale, AZ) that I loved so much.
It's weird how now that I make jewelry, I am attracted to different things. A year ago, this necklace (Etsy necklace) probably would have been "too much" for me to handle, but now I have a big appreciation for intricate details.
I took a clois0nne enameling class a couple weeks ago and had a great time. Basically it involves bending thin wire to whatever design you wish (with as few separate pieces of wire as possible), and filling the design with tiny chards of glass, and then firing it in a kiln. Over and over again. It took ALL weekend to make this:
It's not without it's imperfections (the last firing made it turn yellow for some reason!) but I ended up oxidizing it to give the branches more contrast.
Enameling is fun, and it's this particular class at Danaca Design is the type of class that total beginners can take. I highly recommend it.

This will give you an idea on the reputation of the company.
The lead character of Dumm's strip was a male, whereas Messick's lead character was female.
Many Muslims in Europe are first of all Europeans, European by birth, conviction
and citizenship AND Muslim by faith. God gets all buddy-buddy
with Satan and in fact hires Satan to cause our hero all
sorts of misfortunes and calamities. Studies about Egyptians lend itself to activities such as mummy-making,hieroglyphics tablets or Egyptian jewelry.
