The Night's Sky

Wow...tonight's sunset was like having my own personal light show in the sky -- love the colors!

My Birthday Necklace

I waited with abated breath for this stone to come in the mail and I finally got it!! I couldn't wait to make my birthday necklace, I added a lavender chalcedony and a labradorite with blue flash (purple and blue are my favorite colors)....I think I may still oxidize it...but again I just couldn't wait :D

A Birthday Gift

Okay, so as you know my birthday is coming up and I've been on a Labradorite shopping spree for my Etsy Shop. If the funds are available I don't generally have a problem with splurging on stones or crystals for jewelry....but what happens when you find a stone that you know you won't be able to part with?

A tug-of-war is what happens

...should I...I shouldn't
...oh I should...no I really shouldn't
...but I really want it....but you don't "need" it
...need it schmeed it!!

Yes, this is the exact conversation that I had with myself....and of course I won LOL...that's the wonderful thing about arguing with yourself--you always win :D

So here's my birthday splurge and I'm ohhhh so excited!!


It's such a lovely color and I've only seen this color in the veins (inclusions) of the stone never as the primary flash of color! As I wait for it's arrival I'll dream of the other stones to accent it with and smile and giggle uncontrollably at the thought of wearing it....*happy dance*

Calypso

This is my newest addition to my Etsy store. Faceted briolette's of Peruvian Opal and Amethyst nestle together on this Sterling Silver necklace. I’ve also added an Amethyst charm at the end of the chain for that finishing touch.

Opal is one of the most powerful stones for the soul. It mends broken hearts and restores inner harmony.

Amethyst is extremely beneficial to the mind, calming or stimulating as appropriate. When you meditate, it turns thoughts away from the mundane into tranquility and deeper understanding.

For those of you who know me or who often read my Etsy listings...have noticed that I always include the metaphysical properties of the stones that I use. For me, these meanings are extremely beneficial, though I only list the emotional healings these stones can provide...they can also be used for ailments. I often wear jewelry based on how I'm feeling...more than what I'm wearing. I love it when I get a request for jewelry to help assist one's feelings, or emotional state. The emotional properties of the stones are my specialty, though I have created items for medical ailments...it is a much deeper study and understanding of the stones. All of this intrigues me, though I can't guarantee that these stones will cure one's ailments, in my own personal experience it has definitely helped.

Another thing I like to do is divinations. I love palm and tarot readings, numerology and astrology. I haven't by any means mastered these, but they are quite interesting to learn. My latest focus has been astrology and love signs...and I have been blown away by what I've learned when two signs get together, whether it be friendship, love or just a business partnership. I actually have people that I've done readings for, or who just have questions about their own Sun sign and another sign of someone they're interested in....I'm always amazed at the results...and they too are often amazed.

I'll have to do some posts of combination signs of myself and the relationships that I've had...no names of course...but just to share what I've found to be true and what I've found to be not so true.

If anyone out there wants me to do a combination of signs for your own comparison, leave me a post and I'll put it up for you.

It's definately that time of year....

when everything is hectic and life is moving at mach speed! I'm enjoying this holiday season, even though I'm starting to feel a little run down but Christmas is right around the corner. I still need to make a list of everything that I've bought and all the things I still need to buy...eeek!

Here's a bracelet that I've listed this week. I used Charoite, Amethyst, purple Kiwi Jasper and sterling silver. I haven't had alot of time to make new pieces, I've been working on orders for my co-workers which has kept me away from my computer and my Etsy store *sigh*

Speaking of which, I've got to go make more snowman pendants for my co-workers, hopefully I'll have more time soon to pay attention to my blog, create and list some new pieces on Etsy, but until then I'll try to post something every other day.
