Beautiful Super Clear Quartz Pendant Wire Wrapped in Copper - Jewelry with Meaning - Amplified Energy

Quartz is life!

Quartz the most abundant mineral and is found all over the world, and you can find it growing in other crystals and minerals!

Quartz has a hardness of 7 making it very useful in the making of glass and electronic components.

Quartz is a master healer, a stone of power and a stone that amplifies the energy of others stones and you! So if you are happy that is amplified, but be warned if you are in a bad mood, that can be amplified as well! It is said to absorb, store, release and regulate energy.

I chose copper wire to wrap this stone because copper is also a conductor of energy. It seemed to be the perfect wire with its properties to accent the properties of the quartz.

I love this little stone, it is one of the clearest quartz I have ever seen. There is an indention in the front of the pendant, where this crystal may have had a another crystal growing across it and it got knocked out. So this little quartz crystal has a missing friend.

All of my jewelry creations are based on the metaphysical properties of the stones or the colors that are incorporated. Jewelry should be a window to our soul, a protector of our emotions and a companion to our spirit. All of my other creations come directly from my heart in hopes they touch yours as well. Celebrate yourself with healing jewelry, and other gift ideas made with love!

Rose Quartz Stack Bead Pendant Wire Wrapped in Copper - Jewelry with Meaning - Love and Forgiveness

An elegant and simple design!

A stack of five matte finish rose quartz beads wire wrapped together with copper wire. 

I love the matte finish, it gives the pendant a look of mystery to me. 

Did you know that even the number of beads can have a meaning in a design?

Five is said to be the number of humanity. 

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!!

Serpentine Donut Pendant w/ Free Form Copper Accent - Jewelry with Meaning -

It all started with this:

I had an idea in my head for a pendant but I got too aggressive with the hammering and I broke the wire. I was so mad at myself. 

Step back. 

Take a breath. 

Re group. 

What can we do with this?

I began working with the broken piece, wire wrapping and shaping more so as a creative outlet, to keep the momentum going, than anything else. 

Pretty soon, a pendant started to form. 

It wasn't enough to be a stand alone piece, it needed something else. 

I randomly laid it down on my work bench, on top of a serpentine donut.

*queue the angel choir*

And there it was!!!

I just needed to figure out how to attach it to the donut. 

I am ridiculously pleased with this piece, and was very hard pressed to list it in my Etsy store. 

We are starting with a foundation of Serpentine which is comfort, revitalization, regeneration, connection with nature, now lets add tiger eye, jasper and moonstone to this to compliment the energy with protection, intuition and strength. 

This is a perfect companion for those on a new path, starting a journey where there is some doubt, or you are out of your comfort zone. 

I love it!!!

So next time you think you have ruined a project, or made a mistake, take it as a learning experience, and keep going. You never know where you will end up!!!

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!!

Agate and Quartz Copper Wire Wrapped Pendant - Jewelry With Purpose - Harmony and Balance

This is a beautiful specimen of how agate and quartz form together, and probably a little chalcedony as well.  This little high dome cabochon has an outside rim of agate, and the inside is quartz.  I love the pattern of the lines of agate, and the intricacy of the quartz center.

Agate is a stone of balance and harmony. It improves concentration, and soothes anger and tension. It brings a feeling of security and safety. 

Quartz is a master healer, and an amplifier of energy. 

This is an awesome combination, and it happened naturally over millions of years. 

Lots of love here :)

Ruby Wire Wrapped with Copper Pendant - Compassion

To me it is fun to see the variations of the 'quality' of stones. Most of us think of a faceted little stone set in earrings or ring when we think of a ruby. That is the jeweler quality of the stone, but where does the stone come from? 

While mining for stones, there will be a vein, or pocket where the stones are mined. As they are sifting thru the ruby deposit, some portions of the vein are developed differently, in that more transparent, deep color that we are used to. 

But what about the rest of the ruby? 

This pendant is a great example of what can be done with what is discarded from the mines. 

A chunk of ruby, smoothed and formed into a cabochon with inclusions of what else may have been forming in the vein with it. 

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Ruby has been associated with energy and concentration, creativity, loyalty, honor and compassion. Ruby is also a stone of protection.  Big protection. Used to protect, family, home and possessions. It also brings spiritual wisdom.

Peridot and Sterling Wire Pendant - Compassion

I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of wrapping a stone, I made a simple design from 18 ga sterling silver wire and added 

4mm peridot beads as an accent. It is a real fun combination!

Very simple design: cut a length of wire, use a round nosed pliers and bend the wire around the base of the tine at the mid point of the wire. On one end of the wire, made a wire wrapped loop. On the other end of the wire, wrap it around the base of the wire wrapped loop one, and make a spiral out of the tail to lock it into place. Then hammer the wire to hold the shape of the pendant, and add wire wrapped peridot accents. Use any bead to accent this pendant.

Known as the stone of compassion, peridot is believed to bring good health, restful sleep and peace to relationships by balancing emotions and mind. This friendly bright green stone also has the uncanny ability to inspire eloquence and creativity; it also brings delight and good cheer. (1)

Did you know, one of only two gems (Diamond is the other) formed not in the Earth’s crust, but in molten rock of the upper mantle and brought to the surface by the tremendous forces of earthquakes and volcanoes.(2)

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. Use this stone in meditation to clear your mind of useless or harmful thoughts and allow yourself to focus on what is really important.

Ruby in Zoisite Pendant

Ruby in zoisite such a sweet little stone. I got these square faceted top drilled beads from Fire Mountain Gems. 

Each bead is about 18mm square and when wrapped makes them just about an inch. 

The red or the ruby varies between each bead, some more than others and not always on both sides of the bead. Which is pretty cool for a pendant style, because you can wear it either way, and it can be more versatile!

I have paired these little beads with copper and sterling, both wire showcases the beautiful little stone.

Ruby in zoisite is the stone of happiness and abundance.  

 I know it makes my heart happy!!!

Bronzite Pendant

Some drilled beads can be so big, that they are hard to work into a design, mainly due to the weight of the stone. 

Such was the case of these 20mm bronzite bead. 

Why not make a focal of its own!

Bronzite is confidence and courage. It helps to resolve unsettled emotions. Great stone to use for new moon rituals. 

It was so simple! I used 18 ga sterling wire, made a bale at the top, pushed it thru the bead, brought it up the front of the bead, made a spiral and finished the tail at the bail. 

Viola!!

Celebrating Libra's in October!

So many October birthdays in my family and in the people I know. I will contribute it to Valentines day :)

So what do they say about Libras?

Latin for "the Balance" or "the Scales", from the Greek word Zygos. Libra is balance and achieving balance is their life goal. Libra will work with concentration and relax with dedication. Libras can captivate others with their sharp intellects, allowing them to entertain people for hours, they are equally awesome listeners. Making decisions can certainly be tricky as you need to analyse things carefully in order to make the very best decision which often sees the scales get tipped back and forth in the process. Continual assessment, consideration and evaluation are mentally exhausting... but with all of these experiences come discernment and confidence.

Librans love beauty and can seem superficial as they place emphasis on the visual beauty, however they can also see unseen beauty in those that most of us would not see. Beauty flows through them in creative expressions like music as well as the arts.   Some Libras do seek perfection, which can make life trying for those who live with them.  Love and marriage is important to Libra. (My daughter is libra - so true!!)

Birthstones for Libras can be sapphire if born in September or topaz if born in October.

But wait there's more!

Don't limit yourself to one stone. So many may speak to you. Bloodstone for example is a great stone for Libras (my daughters favorite). It aligns all levels. It strengthens the will to 'do good'. (works with the Libras desire for justice) It helps you to be present in the moment. Bloodstone also assists to revitalise love, relationships and friendships.(Love and relationships are very important to Libras) Use to dispel states of bewilderment and obscure thought. (because you know Libras need order!)

So to honor Libras, I have made this pendant.

African Bloodstone pendant with brecciated jasper and quartz accents, wrapped in copper.



Are you a Libra? What stone speaks to you?

New Copper Pendants!

Found some time to make a couple pendants yesterday, thought I would share em here.


African bloodstone bead


This is a quartz - what kind I am not for sure. It is a top drilled pendant, so I just made a huge wrap at the top and added a swirl and seed beads for accent.

This one is a basket weave for lack of better words. I don't know what this style is called. This one is surprisingly easy, but time consuming. I thought I would try and break it down for you.



Create your loop or bale at the top of the wire, and then measure it around the cab. Lay the cab on your table, and measure the wire around the cab, slightly above where it is touching the surface. Make a wrap with the tail to secure it to the bale.

Turn the cab over. Make a loop at the end of the wire, and now measure the wire around the inside edge of the cab, and make a loop on the other end of the wire.



Use wire to connect the loops, to stabilize the base wire. (1) Wrap some wire around the base to stabilize the bottom of pendant (2) You will remove these as you work thru the piece


Start on one side (1) and begin your wrap. Wrap several times around the loop on the wire back then bring it over the top wire, and then back under the bottom wire - making a figure 8. You can do single wraps or make additional wraps on the top wire to space out the figure 8. EX. Two wraps on the top wire, down and under the bottom wire, two wraps, up and over the top wire, two wraps and so forth. Make several wraps to stabilize the one side, and use a second piece of wire and start on the other side. (2) Work your way down either side, alternating to keep the wires even and tight. If you want to add the decorative wire, (3) make a loop in a separate piece of wire. As you are working down the side of the pendant, position where you want your decorative piece to start, and when you wrap over the top wire, wrap over both pieces of wire. Then continue on with your figure 8. Leave the decorative wire til last.

Continue down both sides of the cab, until you get close to the bottom where you have anchored it. Clip the anchor wire off and continue with the figure 8 wrap til you meet at the bottom. Finish the wrap by wrapping it around the bottom wire a couple of times and giving it a good mash with your needle nosed pliers. Remove the anchor wire from the back of the pendant



Free form your your decorative wire, around the top. You can wire wrap the wire to give it extra texture, wire in crystals to the loops, the possibilities are endless.

I hope this gives you some insight on how to do this wrap. If this is clear as mud, leave me a comment, I'll wrap another one, and do step by step pictures.

Happy Wrapping!!!!

I'm addicted!!!

I can't stop with the pendants....I cant' I tell you!!!

I get a sense of freedom when I create them. There is no order or structure, they flow and just...happen.

This one is dyed howlite. Howlite is often dyed this turquoise color and sold as turquoise. It is a cheaper alternative, and has a beautiful color. But....did you know, howlite is the stone of calm, patience, and decreases an overly active critical mind. Blue is the color for calm and relaxation to counteract chaos or agitation.

How is this not the perfect combination!



I fell in love with this little piece of tumbled ocean jasper. Ocean Jasper heals the emotions and brings peace of mind. It helps with acceptance of responsibility and increases patience. Now along with that - do you see that little foot print in the middle? I over emphasized the swirls at the top to represent the paths we take, for they are never straight are they :)


Now this little guy - I am in love with. I chose lapis and bronzite and accented it with citrine. This is meant to be a busy little piece and keep your eyes moving.



Lapis brings truthfulness, openness and inner power. It strengthens the mind and body as well as increasing awareness. It can help organize daily life as well as organizing and quieting a busy or restless mind. Lapis also helps build self-confidence.

Bronzite is called the "Stone of Focused Action", and is helpful for bringing certainty and with taking control of our actions. It can also help one to think ahead about things, enhancing the ability to take control of our own lives.

Citrine is known as a "success" stone. Its lore also says that it enhances mental clarity and will power.

Do you see how they all come together with the quieting of a restless mind, bringing certainty and mental clarity? And all the colors work great too!!!
