GG's Exclusives Fabulous Flower Garden 'N Gems Bracelet


Wow! LOTS of great Hand-crafted Polymer Clay Art beads I created just for this bracelet. Roses and Lillies, and the bracelet itself is created with wireworked links of lampwork styled polymer clay beads to match the flower beads. Done in purples, lavender, periwinkle and red, with Amethyst, Blue Lace Agate and faceted Clear Quartz Crystal gemstone beads, along with multiple colors of Swarovski Austrian Crystal beads, with lots of Sterling Silver beads and bead caps, lots of wireworked designs at the ends of the drops, and the bracelet is finished with a Sterling Silver Lobster Claw clasp and the other end has wireworked links with Swarovski Austrian Crystal beads and Czech Glass bead links that allow this bracelet adjustable sizing. While this bracelet is LOADED with bead drops, it is exceptionally lightweight. Beautiful and will DEFINITELY be a conversation piece! Fun and gorgeous piece to wear!

Length Of Bracelet: 7" - 8 1/4" (this is a "chunky" bracelet and will fit smaller than a beaded or chain bracelet of the same length)

Metaphysical Lore:

Roses have meant many things in folk lore. Often associated with Aphrodite, and love. The different colors of roses are said to mean different things, but the most familiar of course is red roses with love and passion. The story goes that Aphrodite pricked her finger on a thorn and her blood turned the flower red, and has since been associated with love and passion, both the color and the flower. Regardless, they are quite beautiful, and who doesn't love their fragrance? And EVERYONE should learn to "stop and smell the roses" from time to time!

Lillies are symbolic of purity and joy, Day Lillies correlate to Sun energies, while other varieties are more in tune with the energy of the Moon and the element of Water. They come in a myriad of colors and sizes, and are often quite fragrant. Because the are recognized as a symbol of purity, they are also a flower of the Maiden Aspect of the Goddess.

Amethyst is a stone that has been used for centuries for its healing and magickal powers. It has wonderfully loving energies, providing one with great contentment. Just holding Amethyst can reduce stress and bring a calming nature to the bearer. It provides strength, stability, and perfect peace. It balances energies of the physical, emotional and intellectual bodes, and brings a more open connection between the earth plane and those of the other worlds. It is great for assisting one in developing their intuitive abilities and to assist in meditation. It has been used for centuries to help one rid themselves of physical addictions. Amethyst can also help one to rid themselves of negativity. Hold a piece of Amethyst and envision all your hurt and pain and anger going into the stone, then throw the stone away and let the earth reclaim it. It will take all those thoughts of negativity with it leaving you more balanced and filled with positive energies.

Blue Lace Agate is a gorgeous stone, mostly translucent, it has a lovely light blue-violet color with white lacy banding, it is a beautiful color. It is an excellent stone to use for inner attunement. It is used for the Crown, throat, Heart and Third-eye Chakras, and when it activates these chakras it assists in reaching a high-frequency state of consciousness.

Clear Quartz Crystal is by far and away one of the most useful stones of all. It is a powerful all purpose stone, possessing both the ability to send energy as well as receive. It is a great stone for tapping into the powers and energies of the universe, bringing the energies of the universe into oneself. It is superb at healing, and is great for aligning all the human energies with those of the universe. Clear Quartz works well with all the Chakras. Clear Quartz, when used in combination with any other stone, amplifies its energies and increases it's healing powers. Ancient peoples were convinced that Clear Quartz was a form of ice because of the way it crystalized and the clearness of the stones.

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.
