Anck Su Namun Jewellery Collection

Many of you that have been following my blog already know I created my first Anck Su Namun bracelet a couple of weeks ago. Since then I have gone on to make three more. Slightly different in design as these are all stretch bracelets and will fit any wrist and as these bracelets look best when worn fitted I thought the next step was to make them all a little more snug to the wrist.

I have made one in bronze. One in black and another in a combination of traditonal Egyptian turquoise, white and bronze colours. I have also gone on to put them all together in their own collection and called them the Ank Su Namun Jewellery Collection. Full details of these bracelets can be found on a special page on my website.

Anck Su Namun, as a lot of you will already know is an inspiration to my work so I have gone one step futher and created a very special bracelet.

Inspired by and named after Anck Su Namun the character in the films The Mummy and The Mummy returns. This bracelet portrays simalar ladder designs in the costume that Anck Su Namun wore in the two films. It is made from the tiniest galvanised silver seed beads and woven together by hand. It measures approximately 7 inches but can be worn on a larger wrist as it is fastened with three lobster clasps on a silver plated extender chain. More of these bracelets can be made to order in a colour of your choice simply use the contact form on my website to make a request.

This bracelet has taken hours and hours of work and I am already currently working on another in bronze.

This bracelet is also available to purchase on my website. I only have one available at the moment.

Anck Su Namun Patricia Velásquez

Patricia Velásquez was probaby best known for her role as Anck Su Namun in the Film The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. Who could forget her outstanding beauty and the hours it took to paint her fabulous costume. Both of these films and Patricias role in the film helped give me some of the inspiration to create my own jewellery. I can just imagine  Anck Su Namun wearing a lot of my pieces in the film. Can you? I really hope you can.

I am also honoured to say that Patricia is a fan on my facebook page too. Ok I did ask her but she obliged without question. Thanks Patricia. xx

So what is Patricia doing now. Not only is she she a super model but a succesful actress and  worked in many other films and TV production including  “Le Jaguar”, “Zapata”, “Mindhunters”, “Fidel”, “Committed”, “CSI: Miami”, “Arrested Development”, “Rescue Me”, “Ed” and “American Family”,

Most recently she created the Wayúu Tayá Foundation a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting the Wayúu, a Venezuelan indigenous group.

 In 2010, after the devastating Haiti earthquake, she had the Wayuú Tayá Foundation commission a special symbol of hope to raise money for the victims of the Haiti earthquake along with the slogan: Keep the "H" Close to Your Heart - Help Haiti Hope.

Also to help raise funds the foundation has a gift shop which sells I am happy to add handmade goods including Susu woven bags The bags are hand-made by Wayuú indigenous women at Shukumajaya, the foundation's women center that helps educate women on parenting and nutrition, family planning and hygiene. All bag items are one-of-kind, unless noted in the description.

Please take a moment to have a look at the site and see the amazing work this foundation does.
