GG's Exclusives CRONE GODDESS Wireworked STERLING SILVER Bracelet WITH JET Gemstones PENTACLE, GODDESS CHARM


Sterling Silver Wireworked Bracelet with large looped links I have created from twisted square 24 gauge sterling silver wire and genuine 6mm Jet gemstone beads. On one end are Sterling Silver charms, a Crone Goddess and a Pentacle, and a Jet gem bead drop with a wireworked Triangle to symbolize the Triple Goddess, and at the other is a hand-formed Sterling Silver Hook Clasp to match the links. Great bracelet, lightweight and easy to wear! Great for ritual or festival wear, and is adjustable.

Bracelet Length: 8 1/2" adjust down in 1/2" or 1/4" increments

Metaphysical Lore:

CRONE GODDESS: The final stage of the Triple aspect, the saged Crone, all wise and knowing. She knows what lies behind the dark side and the light. Much knowledge can be gained from her wisdom. She is always represented by the waning moon.

Pentacle - The Pentacle is an ancient protection symbol, used and adopted by Wiccans. It is symbolic of the five elements, Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit. Each point correlates to one of these five elements. The circle surrounding the star is representative of everlasting life: birth, death, and rebirth (reincarnation). The pentacle is probably the most powerful protection symbol on earth and has great energies all it's own!

TRINES/TRINITIES:Trines and threes are seen as a magickal number by many ancient cultures, especially the Celts. Many of their gods appeared in triple-form. One belief is that doing something thrice makes it so. In numerology, three represents creative power and gheshtalt (when two things become more than the sum of their parts).

Jet is a type of fossilized wood, similar in it's properties to coal, and is often found with coal. It is a very lightweight and soft gem, due to it's wood content. Jet is very calming and relaxing helping to rid one of depression. It helps to remove fearful thoughts and is great to protect against disease and violent attacks. It is a great aid for those in business, protecting ones pursuits and helps to stabilize your finances.

Silver is a wonderful metal for use with gemstones, it can take on and absorb the properties and energies of the gemstones it is in contact with and act as a conductor for those energies for the wearer. Silver is associated with the element of Water and directly correlates with the energies of the Goddess and the moon. It is also a metal to aid in drawing prosperity. To increase the properties and energies of silver, expose it to the light of the moon, especially the full moon.

GG's Exclusives DANCING FAERIES Sterling Silver FAERIE and SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL Bracelet


Gorgeous Sterling Silver Bracelet with Sterling Silver Wireworked links of Swarovski Austrian Crystal beads in pink alabaster and light olivine with Sterling Silver accent beads, spring ring clasp and spring ring and beautifully cast Faerie Charm Links. Lovely bracelet with delicate pastel colors.

Bracelet Length: 8"
Charm Links: 12mm x 13mm
Swarovski Crystals: 4mm bicones

Metaphysical Properties:

FAERIES: The Fae tradition, believe it or not started in Italy, not in Great Britain as most people believe, though certainly there are many legends of the wee folk that come from that region of the world. Faeries are a rather large group of entities, some good, some not very good at all, some a bit surprising that they are even actually faeries! Not all look like the tiny winged beings we think of when we hear the word, some barely resemble that image. Magickal and mysterious, some believe in them, many scoff at those of us that do, but no matter where your opinion lies in regards to these intriguing creatures, when faeries are about, they can make even the toughest of adults seem childlike again!

GG's Exclusives CELTIC TRIQUETRA Beaded BRACELET Connemara MARBLE RARE GEMS


Gorgeous beaded bracelet, with lovely and hard to find Connemara Marble gemstone beads, Rain Forest Jasper and Serpentine gemstone beads, Sterling Silver beads and bead caps, strung on beading wire, finished with Sterling Silver Crimped Loops and a lovely detailed Pewter Toggle Clasp, along with a Sterling Silver Celtic Triquetra charm and a Connemara Marble gem teardrop bead. Beautiful and symbolic bracelet, gorgeous greens and beautiful gems!

Bracelet Length: 7 3/4"

Metaphysical Lore:

TRIQUETRA - The interwoven symbol of three loops has many meanings, but most often is representative of the Triple Goddess in Celtic/Pagan Faiths. The Triple Goddess being Maiden, Mother and Crone. It is also used in Christian beliefs to symbolize Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Most believe that the Celtic Symbol predates the Christian use, but there is little evidence either way. In recent times it is seen on the TV Show Charmed and is less offensive to the general public than the common symbol of Wicca, the pentacle, and also represents the three sisters.

CELTIC KNOTS-The intricate weave and flow of Celtic Knotwork is thought to symbolize the flow of the life force through the cosmos, and represent the endless cycle of life; the infinity of birth, death and rebirth. The ancient Celts were renowned for their metal working, with their beautiful knotworking and the gorgeous designs that they created with them. The whole basis of these people was filled with patterns of harmony, unity and the direction or attuning of the land and it's people. The sanctity of their land and the elements were foremost in their beliefs and were often symbolized in their drawings and metalworking.

Connemara Marble is wonderful gift for the Emerald Isle, and is found only in the Western Mountains of Ireland. It is estimated that it is about 500 million years old, and ancient artifacts have even been found made of this wonderful mineral. Connemara Marble is in actuality a combination of Serpentine and Marble, and comes in varying shades of light and dark green, often exhibiting lovely veining. Since it is both Marble and Serpentine, it has the properties of both stones, a wonderful combination!

Marble has been used for centuries for statues and in architecture. It is a protective stone, keeping out "evil spirits", which is why so many homes have marble window sills!! This is a practice that has been handed down for centuries and most do not even know the origin of this practice!! Marble helps one to recognize their common sense.

Serpentine is a magnesium silicate mineral, and is most widely seen in pale to medium green colors, and is sometimes referred to as "new jade" though it is NOT jade. Serpentine is a great stone to use to help one achieve a meditative state. It is also beneficial with Chakra work, and can help to clear clouded areas in the Chakra centers. It aids and assists the emotions, and other areas of the body as well. if directed there in a conscious manner. It also is a highly healing stone, having outstanding healing vibrations (as most green stones do) and helps to energize and activate cellular regeneration.

Jasper is a stone that comes in many different varieties and color patterns. Jasper takes upon itself an incredible responsibility to protect against negativity. It is a very "earthy" stone, using the energies of the earth for stable grounding. Jasper is used to balance the Yin Yang energies and to align the Chakra energy centers, great stone!!

Silver is a wonderful metal for use with gemstones, it can take on and absorb the properties and energies of the gemstones it is in contact with and act as a conductor for those energies for the wearer. Silver is associated with the element of Water and directly correlates with the energies of the Goddess and the moon. It is also a metal to aid in drawing prosperity.

GG's Exclusives BRONZE And GREEN Byzantine WEAVE CHAIN MAILLE Necklace MAGNETIC CLASP



Stunning chain maille Byzantine Weave necklace created with Bronze rings, which is a bit heavier than some other metals, but I also used green annodized aluminum rings as well, so it's not horribly heavy, but heavier than it looks! The centerpiece is a combo of Byzantine Weave and my own thing, the center has a faceted glass bead, the dangle is a Czech Glass Teardrop. The clasp is a goldplated Mag-Loc Magnetic Clasp. This is a truly GORGEOUS necklace, the Bronze makes it very "rich" looking, a really stunning piece!

Necklace Length: 20 3/4"
Center Drop: 1 3/8" long

Metaphysical Lore:

Bronze was highly prized by the ancient Celts, and much of their jewelry, tools, and decorative arts were rendered in bronze. Bronze is considered a protective metal, and is used to shield the bearer from harmful energies and to reflect negative energy. "Bronze was first developed about 4800 B.C. in Egypt where a metalworker found that by mixing tin with copper he could make a harder more durable alloy which we know today as Bronze". (Portions taken from "The Science and Romance of Precious Stones, Noble Metals and Organic Wonders", used with permission by author Barbara Nelson, G.G.) The ancient Chinese treasured Bronze over Gold, for they believed that Bronze could connect the living with those in the afterlife.

BEAR: The Bear is the spirit keeper of the Western Quarter, and brings the powers of patience, strength, and fearlessness. The ancient Celtic word for bear is "artos" which is found incorporated into numerous names. The goddesses Artio and Andarta were both Bear Goddesses. The Greek Goddess, Artemis, could shape-shift into a bear, and the similarities to her name and that of the old Celtic for bear cannot be denied. So, bears have indeed played quite a role in ancient legends of the Gods, the Celts and others.

Obsidian, is not actually a stone but a form of volcanic glass. It comes in many different color and pattern varieties. It is a very protective and grounding stone, as well as a good stone for healing. It is great for guarding against negativity, actually transforming the negative energies surrounding you. Snowflake Obsidian is also bi-colored, black with patches of white that resemble snowflakes. It is a stone that can bring purity and balance to body mind and the spirit. It helps to tap into the most important energies of all the universe, those of love and beauty.

Labradorite is a gorgeous stone, gray-brown-green in color, mostly transparent, with a beautiful iridescence of bright blues and greens. It is a very striking stone with very powerful energies. It is a "stone of the stars" allowing us to connect with the energies of other planetary beings, and bringing their energies to ourselves.
