Fresh off the Bench! Sterling and American Beauty Turquoise

These are those everyday earrings :)

So easy

Cut 18" sterling wire to 4.5"

Use your round nose pliers to make a small loop on the ends.

Find the middle and bend the wire up - using an ink pen or something similar to bend the wire around to make the bottom of the loop.

Hammer slightly to give strength and texture

Add any stone, bead, crystal so forth for a focal

Attach a jump ring to the top loops and add an earring wire

Wear and be fabulous!

American beauty turquoise is a beautiful bright blue stone, full of healing. So much healing in fact, it is called the Master Healer. No wonder people who are on a spiritual journey are drawn to turquoise!

And as always,

All of my 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.

Apatite - Creativity

I went to the bead show last weekend to look for some beads for a custom order, some new strands to spark my creativity because I am doing a trunk show at The Purple Loft Art Gallery in OKC in Aug, and to look for some apatite for myself. I wasn't for sure what I wanted in this stone. Did I want beads for a necklace or bracelet? Maybe some earrings. Did I want a small stone for wrapping for a pendant? I figured I would let the stones talk to me while I was shopping and see what happened.

There were so many beautiful stone bead strands there, it was hard to keep my focus. I had to touch all of them!!! I think I did well choosing my selection, and the creations have started to flow!

While shopping I walked by this little beauty three times. The last time by, it was time to commit. It was talking to me saying, "you are a pendant wearer, I am perfect for a pendant!!!" So I obliged, and bought it. I wrapped it in sterling silver, and the wire went around it almost by itself!

Gemstones that you wear around your neck are the ones that affect your personality. These are also close to your heart which works with your desires. Apatite is used by artists and others who wish to have more creativity in their lives to increase their creativity and imagination. It may be used as an interface point between consciousness and matter to translate our humanitarian aspirations into healing, information, communication and teaching. It supports creative ideas and bringing them into reality, as well as developing the business skills needed to make a living from one's passions.

I love this little stone, and can't wait to go on our journey together.

Little Charms Sending a Big Message - Charm Necklaces

Charms are the big thing heading into fall 2016 according to Harper's.

I love the simple statement that a charm cluster makes. That simple statement by no means is less powerful in the right combinations.

This piece is light blue hand made ceramic bead with little spots. It is playful with the seed bead charms, and the color blue let's people know you are a believer in peace. Paired with a tiny chalcedony bead for brotherhood, and look at what you are saying!

This tiny charm cluster of calcite, amethyst, labradorite and swarovski crystal is a message of peace. Amethyst is the stone of peace and labradorite and calcite reduce stress. Beautiful!!!
