Lapis Wire Wrapped in Yellow Brass Pendant

 

I love lapis. 

Do I love it because blue is my favorite color, and lapis is that beautiful, bold, cobalty blue? Maybe the energy behind the color blue itself is what draws me.  Does Lapis share any of the energies with the color? Do I love lapis because of it's metaphysical properties?  

What is it!!??

I find this very interesting.....

Blue: the color of communication, peace, protection and clarity

Throat chakra: the color blue, for communication

Lapis: the stone of truth, deep communication, friendship and harmony

and I can go on and on and on.

How awesome is the correlation between the color, the chakra and the stone. 

Once I started to make the connection it made it so much easier to study and relate to the properties of stones, and I just wanted to share that with you today. 

It is all about learning and evolving!

May your journey to enlightenment be filled with those wonderful Ah Ha! moments that keep you energized and fueled for the next chapter.

I send you love!!

Labradorite Stacks with Antiqued Copper Charm Earrings - Transformation - Jewelry with Meaning

I found the most awesome little shop on Etsy! 

Bead Clearance Depot has everything you need to make awesome beautiful jewely!

I am not a 'charm' person when it comes to my style in making jewelry. Bead Clearance Depot changed all that for me! 

The selection is amazing, and the quality superior. I really look forward to ordering with this shop, because I can't wait to receive the product. 

I have had so much fun making earrings and necklaces with the charms I have bought from them, and so have my customers! They sell so fast!

These little earrings are made with faceted roundel labradorite beads, wire wrapped on copper and then accented with the antiqued copper charm. Super light and flirty, especially when the light hits the labradorite and you can see that flash!

Labradorite is the stone of change and transformation. Although we know deep in our hearts that change is the one thing we can count on, it still don't make it easy to have to deal with. Labradorite helps through those times of change and transformation. Making it easier to deal with and less stressful. Labradorite is also the stone of magic, and believing in yourself IS magic!!

Spring Equinox!!

What exactly is the spring equinox?

On the equinoxes the Sun shines directly on the equator and the length of day and night is nearly equal – but not quite. The March equinox marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – from south to north and vice versa in September.

What stones/crystals are the stones of spring equinox?

Moonstone - fertility - Spring is the time to start your seeds and get the ground ready for planting.
Ocean Jasper - Positivity. Ocean Jasper gently brings into focus the positive aspects of your life, so that you can practice gratefulness. New season, new outlook.
Sunstone - This stone can shine the light on any situation. With more sunlight during the day, and warmer weather, it is encouraging to drop the covers of winter and allow the sun to warm your spirit, and help you to maintain a positive outlook!
Moss Agate - promotes growth, abundance, steady progress in all areas of life. Just like those first days of spring, when the air is warming and the sun is shining, you can see the earths abundance grow right before you!

Chunky Amethyst and Dyed Quartz Points Necklace - Jewelry with Purpose - Amplified Peace

I made this one with great excitement when I found out the jewelry trends for 2019 were going to be big, chunky styles. 

Thats my favorite!

Big amethyst beads offset with dyed AB finish quartz points. A handmade wire wrapped sterling free form wire pendant is the focal. 

It's not a long piece, 19", so it sits just passed the collar bone. Right at the opening of a shirt, and becomes the star of the show. 

Amethyst is the stone of peace and calm, and quartz is an energy amplifier. 

Not a bad thing to have amped up!

I won't be offended if this necklace is out of trend now, because it is just my style, and I may have to start wearing it!!!

Agate and Sodalite Necklace with Tree of Life Pendant - Jewelry with Meaning - Harmony in Thought

I went to the Bead and Gem show at the fairgrounds in Raleigh. I love to go, not always to buy, there is just so much to see!

I found these silver tone tree of life pendants. I have the in copper tone, but have never seen silver. Fell in love. 

Now what to do with them?

Agate and sodalite are a great combination. 

Not only because of color, because orange and blue look awesome together, but also for properties. 

Agate is balance and harmony, sodalite is communication, rational thought, truth. 

Combined you have a balance and rational thought. It stifles outbursts and brings a balance to emotions and truth to the tongue. It helps to communicate your feelings without feeling vulnerable.

Unakite and Garnet on Copper Bracelet - Jewelry with Meaning -

Unakite and garnet can both be found and mined in North Carolina! I love this and being a rock hound, have done my fair share running up and down creek beds looking for fun stone, minerals, crystals and more. 

Did you know, Unakite is named after the Unakas Mts, where it was first discovered, right here in North Carolina.   Makes me happy to call this home. 

These two stones are a great combination as well, with its properties of gentleness and love. 

Garnet cleanses and re energizes the chakras. It revitalizes, purifies and balances energy, bringing serenity or passion as appropriate. ... Garnet balances the sex drive and alleviates emotional disharmony. It activates and strengthens the survival instinct, bringing courage and hope.


 Unakite Jasper brings together the abundant, nurturing energy of green with the soft, caring passion of pink in one of Nature's most healing crystals of the heart and mind. It resonates with the frequency of love, compassion and kindness, and is a stone dedicated to balancing the emotional body.

Rose Quartz Wire Wrapped in Copper - Jewelry with Purpose - Love and Forgiveness

I got these rose quartz cabochons from KGNShop on Etsy. When they have a sale, someone hold my wallet, please!!

These are real beauties, and fun to wrap. I got them in ovals and tear drops and they are a big hit in my shop. 

The way they are cut, it leaves the natural form of the rose quartz on the top of the stone, and a matte finish on the back of the stone. 

Did you know that rose quartz is always translucent, but never transparent? It never forms in crystal faces or in crystals, that would make it pink quartz!

It has a beautiful almost waxy look to it. 

Rose quartz is the stone of love and forgiveness.  It helps with understand and having empathy with others. It clears out anger, jealousy, lowers stress of the heart, and allows healing of heart issues and dis-ease associated with holding on to such negative emotions.

I try to practice being peaceful and kind, and am grateful that somedays I have a rose quartz with me. It can be tough out there!!

Chalcedony with Jasper Earrings - Jewelry with Meaning - Brotherhood

Thats chalcedony?

picture of slice of chalcedony taken from WikiCommons

Isn't it suppose to look like this?

"Gigantic Chalcedony - 1" by the justified sinner is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0

Chalcedony has many faces, just like all stones. When you have the beautiful solid color stone, that is set in earrings, ring or in your favorite pendant, that is what most of us think of when we think of chalcedony. 

But wait there is more!!

Chalcedony (I used to pronounce it Chal-si-doney) really is the mother of all stones. When you break down the stones family tree, These varieties include agate, carnelian, onyx, sardonyx, chrysoprase, jasper, bloodstone, chert, and flint. Which all come from quartz!!

These earrings are chalcedony with jasper, just not what is considered the best quality stone, because it is not a solid classic chalcedony color. 

The jewelry store quality doesn't take away from the stones properties. 

Chalcedony is a nurturing stone (just like jasper is nurturing and gentleness)  that promotes brotherhood and good will. It absorbs negative energy. It brings the mind, body, emotions and spirit into harmony. Chalcedony instills feelings of benevolence and generosity.

What a beautiful little stone with awesome energy!!

Wire Wrapped Copper Cuff with Amethyst and Fluorite Chips - Jewelry with Meaning - Peacefully Brings Order to Chaos

These bracelets are fun and easy to make.

Use a heavy copper ga. like a 14 ga. If you have a bracelet mandrel, form the wire around the mandrel at the size you want, leaving extra length on the end to coil. If you don't have a mandrel, free form the wire into a cuff form, leaving extra length on the ends to coil.

Coil the ends, using a round nose pliers. Hammer the form on an anvil to give it tinsel strength. Now you have a vague cuff shape to work with.

Using 24 ga copper wire, begin at the base of the coiled end, and wrap the 24 ga wire around the cuff form, spiraling up the form as you go. Keep the wraps tight!

When you are about 1/3 of the way up, start adding your stone chips to the wire, and wrap 3 times in between each stone. Do this across the top of the bracelet about a 1/3 of the way. Now stop adding the stones, and wire wrap the cuff form, down to the base of the opposite coil, so that the whole cuff, excluding the coils has been wrapped in copper.

Now you can free form and shape the cuff to the size you are wanting, or to your wrist!!!

Choose any type of stone chip, swarovski crystal or mix and match!!

Sodalite Wrapped in Sterling Earrings - Jewelry with Meaning - Communication

I found a great sale at Firemountain Gems and picked up an assortment of large hole gemstone 8mm beads. 

These sodalite beads are big enough to showcase as a single dangle from an ear wire. The beads are wrapped with 20 ga sterling silver several times around the bead, and also to build around the bottom of the wire wrapped loop of the bale. Kinda like a one sided herring bone wrap. 

Straight up adorbs!!!

Sodalite is an awesome stone!! Communication, logic. Removes emotions out of situations for rational outcomes.

Copper Wire Wrapped Serpentine Donut Pendant - Not Jade

A lot of times you will see serpentine sold as jade. But this isn't the case. Serpentine has a waxy feel to its finish, and is light weight. It also makes more of a thunk when tapped. Jade has a glassy smoother finish and is heavier than it looks. It also makes a 'tink' when tapped. 

If you have bought this stone before, meaning serpentine, but you were told it was jade, never fear. Serpentine is a beautiful little stone with amazing properties!

Serpentine is a great stone for meditation opening doors for spiritual exploration. It helps with directing healing energy toward problem areas. Think of it as your guide to past lives, helping you regain those lost memories and wisdom.

Elephant Skin Jasper (Calligraphy Stone) Pendant

I fell over backwards when I saw this elephant skin jasper cabochon. I ordered a cabochon lot on  Etsy from KGNShop

This big elephant skin jasper was in it!!

The pattern in the stone is mesmerizing. I could look at it all day. The pattern is made from fossilized shells. 

I wrapped it in sterling silver wire, and added an imperial jasper accent. 

Elephant skin jasper or calligraphy stone is a stone that brings happiness. It removes negative thoughts and brings in positive thoughts. It is a great stone to have if you are working through difficult situations in your life.

Treasures of the Earth Gem Show Haul!!!!

Copper Wire Wrapped Cuff - Iolite and Quartz - Amplified Intuition

I am re visiting a design from 9 years ago. 

I started making jewelry because I wanted something that fit my personality, not something that was a popular trend. 

It has been so much fun to explore, create, design and fulfill a need in me to have an idea become not only tangible but functioning.

I love bangles, but what I have found, because of industry standards, my large working hands will not fit into a bangle. So I have wore cuffs. (I make awesome bangles now, I will touch on them later)

So because I wear bangles, I want bangles that are more artistic, organic, flowing than what I can find in a store. You know the classic, cuff with stones in bezel cups?

That is how my wire wrapped cuffs were born. 

Let's make a cuff with texture, design and uniqueness that will also carry energy and properties from stones. 

Completely adjustable, comfortable and stackable!

Iolite and quartz chips wire wrapped onto 16 ga copper wire, hammered into form for strength and reinforced with a wire coil wrap. 

Iolite is for intuition, it restores a sense of perception, inspires creativity and more. Quartz is a natural energy amplifier. These go great together!

I can't wait to sit down at my bench and make several more of these. They are just so much fun!

Amethyst - Peace and Calm

Amethyst is the stone of peace and calm, creativity, all healing, an artists stone, it keeps your head in the game, balance and temperance and more. 

It is the birthstone of February, and the sobriety stone

I have quite the collection of amethyst beads in tear drops, faceted brioletes, faceted roundels, chips, coin, natural points and various sizes of rounds. 

While putting together some amethyst pieces to post for February, I came across this little heart shaped amethyst focal bead. 

I didn't want to take away from the heart by wrapping it too ornately, so I kept it simple. A bale, and a tiny spiral. Done.

The heart shape and smoothness of the stone, really resonated the peace and calm that is associated with this stone. 

This little one is spoken for, and will be going on a cruise this week. :)

Is amethyst your birthstone or just one of your favorite stones?

Inquiring minds want to know :)

and remember, be peaceful, and be kind, it's important!!

Dendritic Agate - What Are the Properties of this Stone!

Let's talk about dendritic agate!

Dendritic agate is a stone in the chalcedony family, "agate" , with manganese inclusions, called dendrites - thus the name :)

The color of the agate can be from clear to white with the manganese inclusions, you may even see a white agate with green inclusions, called Tree Agate. 

Dendritic agate is the stone of plenty and abundance. It has been known to be buried in soil of garden beds and farm lands to promote healthy and large yields from crops. 

This stone resembles the branches of a tree or plant and in turn is known for healing the skeletal, nervous and vascular system, which also 'branch' out in us. 

It is a great stone of protection and inner peace.  It promotes a peaceful environment. Great fo those with a green thumb. 

I love looking at the patterns of this agate. This stone and I have had several long moments together. Each time I pick it up to work with it, I find myself getting lost in its patterns and beauty, that I never get anything done! Because of the patterns and how I get lost in it, it is also a great stone for digging deep inwardly.  Use with meditation or self exploration and discovery and in turn healing of the past. 

I will wrap this into a pendant, I really will :)

Until then, I will continue to marvel at nature and her creations with wonderment and amazement.

I Think I am Protesting!!!!!

I did it!! I made the decision to make a stand. I posted this on my Facebook Fan Page -  

"I am committing the biggest business mistake and am proud of it. I know earlier this week I made the comment about small business Saturday and cyber Monday. Well, I have changed my mind and I am closed on Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. (I will be open on Sunday!) 

 I sell my jewelry and crystals at a discounted price to begin with, because my theory is that everyone should have something pretty, a piece of original art, something that has meaning at a cost that is affordable. I will not buy into the greed and envy that I feel these giant blowout sales promote.

 Enjoy your holiday weekend, visit with your family, watch what you eat, play a card game, sit up too late and watch an old movie. Unplug from the everyday chaos and relax for a change. I send you peace and love!!!" 


Selling my jewelry and crystals is just as much of a joy for me as the making of the jewelry. I love the interaction and the meaning that the jewelry or crystal has for the person.  I love being able to help my clients find the perfect stones, or the perfect piece of jewelry that reflects who they are, what they are and where they are going in their journeys.

That being said, I am going to use the time to meditate, create, visit, enjoy, relax and celebrate another day in my life.

Peace and love to you!!!!
