Titanium Coated Quartz Point Pendant

I got several drilled quartz points that were titanium coated, to give them this awesome rainbow finish. I can't remember where I got these from!!!

So easy to do just a quick wrap with sterling wire on the top to create the bale and a shabby chic design with the wire. I wanted the quartz point to be the focal, not the wire. 

I really am surprised at the weight of the pendant. It hangs beautifully from the sterling chain.

The light hits the quartz just right, and all the colors show up!

So much fun, and so versatile. Wear it alone or stack it with other necklaces to make your own look!

"Citrine" Earring and Necklace Set - Abundance and Success

Big debate, is it really citrine or is it heat treated amethyst. If you are buying it as beads and you are getting a great deal, most likely it is heat treated amethyst. 

These little faceted briolettes were sold to me from Firemountain Gems as citrine (heat treated) and that is why I am a huge fan of their site. They know their product, and they share all information with their buyers. Plus the deals there are awesome!

These little beauties made the cutest little earring/necklace set. Tiny little faceted briolettes, wire wrapped with sterling wire, on a sterling loop. They are the perfect dainty length, and have just enough swing to them to be a bit sassy!

Beautifully uniform so it was easy to just pick two to make the earring set, and add one for the pendant.

Citrine is the stone of abundance and prosperity. It repels negative energy.

Thanks Firemountain Gems for making this set so easy to create!

Wire Wrapped Natural Amethyst Pendant

Amethyst is a type of quartz. typically forms in crystal clusters in geodes. Amethyst can also be found opencast in veins and in druzy cavities in larger rocks.  The size and color of the points vary, which dictates the value of the stone. 

In a geode example

Amethyst from Brazil in the Mineral museum in India - Wikipedia

you can see the points, or 'teeth' and how they fit together like a puzzle piece.

If a large geode is broken or dropped the points can fall out of the geode
providing a beautiful sample to wrap!

 

Thus is the case with this piece of amethyst. I have a collection of points that I use to wrap as jewelry, pendulums or to use as a pocket stone or a stone for a medicine bag. 

This made a really big, fun pendant with a simple hippie wrap. 

Amethyst is and artist stone, promoting creativity. 

The shape of this stone, the textures, the lines not only peak a creative interest in me, but also satisfy a my tactile nature. 

How do you keep your amethyst points? In your pocket, in a pouch as a pendant?

Inquiring minds want to know!

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

Emerald - The Stone for May

For all the May birthdays - Happy Birthday!!!

Emerald is the birthstone of May. May is one of the months that only has one birthstone.

As a boho style jewelry designer, emeralds are something I don't have the pleasure of working with too much, until now :)

Emeralds are soft and scratch easily and don't make a great bead. They traditionally are cut with a facet, and small, not so fun to wrap, and keep a boho vibe. FiremountainGems has several styles of emeralds to choose from on their site. You will also see they are oiled.  Emeralds are oiled to enhance the clarity of the stone due to the natural inclusions, fissures and microscopic cracks that happen naturally in the stone.  Gem Select has a great article on this process. 

Emeralds are a beautiful deep green, and found all over the world, some right here in North Carolina. Metaphysically it is the stone of rebirth and love. What a perfect stone for May right in the heart of spring!


I am a stone collector from way back, and several years ago I acquired a healing crystal business. In the inventory was this raw emerald. I had completely forgot about it, until I started writing out my to do list for blog posts.

I chose this hippie free form wrap for the stone. Didn't try to hard to match up two stones for the set because each piece of emerald is it's own work of art, in this raw, untumbled, un oiled state.

I am really loving this style, and will be making more!
