i cannot explain why but i associate jade with them and their art - in fact they used it less then everything else like shells, but i have a strong associaion just with green jade... maybe because its colour resembles jungle forests...

once i bought the button - its ornament is like Indians' rock carvings! (but i suppose sunflowers or smth like to be drawned there:)))
so this is it - i've got a small collection of Indians' jewelry, i also have one more sketch for the volume embroidered necklace.
i used 2 15 mm jades, metal button, toho beads, delica beads, black pearls, czeck glass beads.
