Featured Seller: Zeba

I don't wear much jewelry, but I find it alluring nonetheless...maybe it's one of those "ooh, shiny..." raccoon-syndrome things. Whatever is behind it, this necklace is another of my favorites.



It's by Sholeh of the Etsy shop called Zeba, and the center part isn't metal set with stones as I first thought; it's actually a man made Bismuth hopper crystal. (I can't resist things that are pretty and science-y!)

Sholeh came to the US from Iran in 1977 to get a computer science degree and ended up staying here. When she's not working at her day job or her Etsy shop, Sholeh is helping her husband with their kitchen renovation; he's building new cabinets, and she is using her other talent to make some stained glass panels for the cabinet doors.
