This amazing stone makes me think of a beautiful landscape where the snow is melting in the sparkling sun and you can start to see the beautiful moss.
Eltham Palace (1933-1936) - Art Deco entrance hall
See location of room in palace here:

The original Eltham Palace was a medieval moated palace which had been the childhood home of Henry VIII, that, having fallen into disrepair, was transformed in a glorious Art Deco home for the Courtauld family.
Perhaps the most dramatic interior is the entrance hall, created by the Swedish designer Rolf Engströmer. Its walls are lined with blackbean veneer and decorated by Jerk Werkmäster (SWE, October 1, 1896, Utanåker, Rättvik - April 11, 1978 i Rättvik) with marquetry that includes figures of a Viking standing opposite a Roman soldier, set against background scenes from Italy and Scandinavia.
Here scenes from Stockholm depicting its city hall and royal palace represent the Scandinavian cityscapes familiar to the Courtaulds.

I love the look of this; it is big, rough and fabulous.
You can wear it to everything; it will look great both at day and to the dress at night.
You just got to love this fashionable mix of the rough lava stone and the shiny silver!
It has a so Simple and elegant touch in the same time.

A bracelet with 5 wild hearts that are hugging together; it is perfect for the person who like hearts but not want to wear too cute jewelry.

"Electro Metal" a wrist watch by designer Daniel Jakobsson. Looks cool on the wrist and kinda futuristic too!
But rarely will the wearer admit that it's not "that" easy to tell the time at first glance :P Does take some effort!
