Want to find out of the stories to go with them?  Usually, I would just direct you to my store itself, but I am feeling generous.  Here you go!


Gold of El Dorado:
The animated movie Road to El Dorado centers around two con artists, Tulio and Miguel.  These two ne’er-do-wells go through a strange series of adventures, which takes them from the streets of Spain to a hidden paradise in the New World: El Dorado, the land of gold.  Once there, through a set of bizarre circumstances, they are seen as gods. The movie then follows their antics and growth as they first try to con the locals out of their gold, and then decide to protect the paradise that they have uncovered.

One of the first people that Miguel and Tulio run into in El Dorado is a young woman named Chel.  She is first introduced as a thief; later, she becomes part of their charade.  She is sassy and intelligent, and proves invaluable to their schemes—whatever those schemes may be.

This set, whose gold focal beads are reminiscent of ancient Mesoamerican art, look like they could have been worn by Chel throughout her adventures with Tulio and Miguel in El Dorado.

Rain Dragon:

Everyone reacts differently to rain.  It is wet, after all, and can be uncomfortable.  Some animals—indeed, even some people—respond to rain by holing away and waiting for it to pass.  Other creatures patiently endure it, longing for the sun to appear once more.

And yet there are others, like the Rain Dragon of the High Mountains, who seem to revel in it.

The Rain Dragon got its name due to its apparent fondness for downpours.  Hardly a thunderstorm goes by without the familiar blue-and-silver dragon taking to the sky.  Although many people have tried to analyze this behavior—short of asking the dragon itself, of course—it seems that the Rain Dragon dances in the mountain deluges simply because it wants to.

This set is made in the color of the Rain Dragon: silver and rain-blue, reminiscent both of raindrops in water and dragon scales.  Small mementos, they look like they could be part of the dragon’s horde—reminders of the joys of rain.

Enjoy!  Thanks for looking!  :)
