Maybe these items move well because I know so many guys! But their clean lines coupled with my fascination for rare mineral specimens &amp; crystals, unusual artifacts and uniquely rugged pendants make them very popular with men, youths and women alike.<\/p>\n<p>Clockwise from top left in the above collage, there&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=19384800\"><strong><font color=\"#cc0000\">Tibetan carved horn<\/font><\/strong> pendant<\/a> that is truly wonderful in appearance, size and weight. The pendant is embellished with handformed Tibetan silver and is ornately hand engraved. This item is currently for sale at SassyDLite (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sassydlite.etsy.com\/\">http:\/\/www.sassydlite.etsy.com\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Another material that I&#8217;m just mad about for unisex and mens styles is<strong><font color=\"#cc6600\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=17617004\">ancient desert glass fragments from Afghanistan<\/a><\/font><\/strong>. I&#8217;ve wrapped this wonderful artifact with black leather embellished with Thai sterling silver nuggets and findings. The desert glass fragment has been immaculately polished and naturally &#8220;sand blasted&#8221; on its profile so there are no sharp edges! Truly a wonderful designer look for your significant other.<\/p>\n<p>Middle shot is an oxidized (dark patina) sterling silver lariat with blue kyanite and lapis gemstones for only $25! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=19384330\">http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=19384330<\/a>. The Deep Waters lariat is perfect for youths as it closes between 14 and 16 inches, but I can create this item or something similar using different gems in larger sizes upon request.<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_68JSx4Ztahg\/SWMY5VBLn8I\/AAAAAAAAApY\/xC_5TClGEhM\/s1600-h\/IMG_4409.jpg\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_68JSx4Ztahg\/SWMY5VBLn8I\/AAAAAAAAApY\/xC_5TClGEhM\/s320\/IMG_4409.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>Black onyx has always been a favorite gemstone of mine and most of my black onyx inventory sells out fast. This <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=18243166\">traditional Y-style black onyx necklace<\/a> features Thai sterling silver, blue peruvian opals and sterling silver closure. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=17616586\"><strong><font color=\"#cc33cc\" size=\"4\">new Australian Boulder Opal slab on black leather<\/font><\/strong><\/a> just listed!<\/p>\n<p>Next, the dark green kyanite rough crystal I encrusted with fine silver and suspended from a black leather cord for a very clean designer look with youthful and masculine appeal.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=18560864\">ammonite (snail shell fossil) pendant<\/a> is sterling silver encased and quite durable. It&#8217;s suspended on a thick black leather cord. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=18560864\">http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=18560864<\/a> Ammonite fossils are timeless and rather expensive keepsakes that easily coordinate with practically any wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=19301115\">light green kyanite rough crystal on black leather cord <\/a>is an item I donated to our eSMArts team shop and at only $20 this item won&#8217;t be around long. All proceeds from our team shop sales support worthy causes, so please check out the many items donated by my talented teammate artisans.
