These spectacular earrings were created with bright aluminum rings for the chain maille, which is a byzantine link variation, with a Sterling Silver wireworked Connemara Marble gemstone bead link, and Sterling Silver links with green Amber gemstone cabochons and Sterling Silver Celtic Triquetra charms, dangling from Sterling Silver hand-formed and hand-hammered Ear Wires I have crafted from 20 gauge wire. Truly beautiful earrings, very medieval and Arthurian! Great for SCA, or Ren Faire events, or just because you love chain maille and Irish/Celtic symbolism! Just beautiful!

Metaphysical Lore:
Amber is a traditional gemstone of Wiccan High Priestesses, and a wonderfully powerful stone. Amber is associated with the fifth element, Akasha or spirit, because they were once "living" beings, both having been derived from plant material. Amber helps one to connect the conscious self to the perfect energies of the universe. It helps one to bring about those things that are desired and make them real. Amber can absorb negative energy and turn it into positive energy!! It has wonderfully warm and sunny energy correlating with the energies of the sun and has a calming effect on your disposition.
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.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.
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.
