Energy Muse Jewelry http://www.energymuse.com/index.asp

They use mainly natural gemstones with Ancient Chinese coins as a focal point in their designs. The designs are often seen on celebrities.
Custom pieces have been ordered by Heidi Klum & Seal and along with David and Victoria Beckham.

The Ancient Chinese Coins are available through Fire Mountain Gems, and they are not that expensive if you want the real coins. About $4- $2.45 each per coin depending on the size of your order.
A pack of replica coins will be about the same price, but you do get 20 coins.

My apologies on the prices I quoted here. I have no idea what I was thinking here.
I bought these coins through a place in AZ for 25 cents, for the real ones. I knew the ancient coins were surprisingly affordable.
It's just been some time since I bought, and thought FMG would have at least similar pricing.

Just goes to show how much costs on even one item can vary.
Sorry about that.

Here is a site if you want inspiration for lampwork, woven or ethnic pieces.
I like how she made her own "beads" to incorporate into one of the lampwork pieces.

She has tons of traditional things. And the tutorials are great.
