     Resellers

   

We encourage resellers to design products suited to the tastes of their customer base. This page provides a number of pictures that give an idea of the range of products that can be produced, although most are overly flashy by American standards . Steps are: 1. Sketch a design;
2. Scan and email the design with a description to me at
russell@seedjewelrycenter.com
3. I'll then clarify any questions then forward the design to the women in Campohermoso for a price quote and time estimate;
4. I'll contact you with the purchase information. Minimum order for a design of your creation is 25 pieces.

If you need to contact us by telephone, we can be reached at 1-805-969-1750

Faxes can be sent to 1-608-646-2981.

                      

                                     Closures

                    

 

Choice of materials: descriptions of various seeds may be found both on this webset and on the website www.seedjewelry.org. Below you'll find pictures of various natural fibers (Cumare, Hemp) and of various handmade closures, some adjustable. It is important to specify the style of closure as well as the fiber to be used. Of course, we can also use nylon and cotton cord and commercial lobster clips, but we prefer that the entire piece be handmade.
The photos show a number of samples I brought back from a recent trip to Colombia. Some are by the women in Campohermoso, others were purchased in local markets. Chokers like those shown are popular in South America, but similar styles can be made in a variety of lengths.

  We can incorporate various kinds of
                                                        commercial clasps, but prefer
                                                        hand-made work.
