What is in a necklace

This was a custom order I made for a friend of mine for his special lady. I thought alot about what she is and brought this stone combination together.

It is asymmetrical because she is so wonderfully unpredictable.

Kyanite brings loyalty, honesty and tranquility, and diminishes anger and confusion. Kyanite does not retain negative energy and never needs energetic cleansing. - She is a mother of two, who doesn't need a little kyanite :)

Citrine enhances mental clarity, confidence, happiness and will power. Citrine is purported to bring good fortune, sometimes in very unexpected ways. - She has brought a joy to my friends heart, when I didn't know if anyone could. That is good fortune.

Turquoise can help promote honest and clear communication from the heart. - I tied the turquoise with the citrine for obvious reasons

Amethyst brings energies in mystical realms of stability, peace, calm, balance, courage and inner strength. - This he wanted to add as the focal. Bringing his balance and courage into the relationship

Labradorite is a stone of transformation.It is purported to help provide clarity and insight into your destiny, as well as attract success. - The love these two have has transformed them both, from wary and suspicious to wildly passionate and giddy

Moonstone can help calm responses and avoid overreaction; enhances feminine energies, sensitivity and intuition. This is for her, so she knows that it is real and not a passing fancy. She can be grounded in her love and faith in her mate.

Everything but the kitchen sink - multistone necklace

You know that cliche, "everything but the kitchen sink" meaning everything that you can think of, but with no rhyme or reason. That was the study in this piece.

I have a box of bead odds and ends. They are left overs from a project that were not put back into the proper baggie or separated out after being swept into a pile during a whirlwind attempt at cleaning.

I love this look, and it is a great activity to jump start your creativity. Grab a handful of beads and arrange them either on the table or by stringing them. You will be amazed at how fast those wheels start to turn and the ideas start to roll out. It may be just the ticket you need if you are looking to expand your jewelry lines. If you always use the same pattern, if you always are symmetrical, if you are afraid to try new looks because you are in a comfort zone. Try it, see where it takes you. I would love to see your designs.

This is truly a random design that is brought together by the repetition of three seed beads between each bead.








I love the random

Thursday quickie

I think everything should be beaded. Everything should be personalized with some sort of bead or bauble.

Most times, as most of you know, I use natural stones due to the properties of 'sed stone'.

That in mind - I have made key chains and I love them. These key chains are nothing new, I have made them before, but for some reason I didn't continue with the line. I have added a few more to my collection.
