Anna Holland, creator Dorje Designs, "Over years, I have been drawn to study antique & ancient beads & artifacts. Impetus & inspiration is fed by fascinating history &stories behind these pieces of stone, shell, glass, & metal that are decades, centuries &, at times, millennia old. My creations combine beads, amulets, pendants, & other relics from various ages, cultures, & religions into one-of-a-kind necklaces &earrings."
