GG's Pearl and Amazonite Beaded Bracelet with Lampwork Glass Focal Bead

2009-02-01T21:00:00.000-08:00

Beautiful beaded bracelet, with gorgeous rich Green Amazonite, with white Cultured Freshwater Pearls, and a lovely Indian made Lampwork Glass oval bead. Lots of Sterling Silver beads, bead caps and looped beading wire ends with a hand-crafted wire clasp I created from 20 gauge wire. Really pretty, feminine bracelet, great for the office or an evening out, it is perfect anywhere!

Bracelet Length: 7 3/8"

Focal Bead: 20mm x 13mm

Metaphysical Lore:

Amazonite is a wonderful stone, a beautiful aqua shade, that comes in light and dark varieties. It has warm, loving energies, that brings about a very peaceful feeling. It is a stone great for aiding one with their intuition and psychic abilities. It is soothing and calming. This is one of my favorite stones!!

Pearls are wonderful gems, not really stones, but organic in nature, are products of oysters and are usually cultured, that is, the oyster is implanted with a foreign object for the Pearl to grow around and then later cultivated when they reach the size desired. They come in many different natural colors and are also dyed or color inhanced. They are associated with the elements of water and spirit. They emit warm, gentle loving energies, and help to encourage compassion. They bring the loving energy of the sea to the wearer. They bring Goddess energies to whatever they are connected to.

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.

GGs Flower Cluster Beaded Wrap Collar Wearable Art

2009-02-01T20:43:00.000-08:00

Gorgeous wrap collar I have created with many drops of Czech glass flower and leaf beads, wireworked with Swarovski Austrian Crystal beads, faceted Clear Quartz Crystal, faceted Czech glass, glass seed beads, twisted glass bugle beads, Sterling Silver Bali beads and bead caps. The centerpiece has a gemstone heart dyed pink, wirewrapped with Sterling Silver wire. This is all strung on stainless steel memory wire, and is finished with silver plated end balls. Wonderful piece, great colors and these are super comfortable to wear!

Collar length: 19", and should fit most necks, it will "wrap" around until it fits properly

Center Drop: 2 3/4"

Metaphysical Lore:

Hearts are a wonderful symbol, used for centuries to symbolize love and affection. Often paired with other symbols, like cupid, thistles, hands, they are used to show and symbolize love for someone or something, and are even used as protection symbols, as in the Scottish Lukenbooth. Wonderful symbol!

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.

GG's Exclusives Polymer Clay Roses Necklace, Bracelet & Earrings Set

2009-01-19T15:21:00.000-08:00

Truly GORGEOUS set.

The necklace is a double strand, done with Sesame Jasper, Amazonite and Smokey Quartz gemstone beads, Swarovski Austrian Crystal Beads, Sterling Silver Bali beads and bead caps, Polymer Clay Art beads I have created, Roses and roundish patterned beads both, strung on Softflex 49 strand beading wire, with Sterling Silver Crimped Loops to finish it off and a Sterling Silver Lobster Claw Clasp.

Sizing:
The shorter inner strand is 20 /2" long
The longer outer strand is 23 1/4"
Center dangle is 2 3/4" long
The largest Rose is 42mm, the smaller tan ones are 30mm

The triple strand bracelet is also strong on Softflex beading wire, 49 strand. Total length is 9", but fits a bit smaller wrist due to the bulk of the beads. I have strung Sesame Jasper, Amzonite, Smokey Quartz gemstone beads, with Swarovski Austrian Crystal beads, Polymer Clay Artisan beads I have created in Aqua Roses and patterned roundish beads, with Sterling Silver Bali beads and bead caps, and a Sterling Silver Bali Toggle Clasp. The ends of the beading wire are finished with Sterling Silver Crimped loops.

The dangle earrings consist of Polymer Clay Rose Art Beads I have created, they perfectly match the Roses in the necklace and the bracelet. They dangle from hand-crafted Sterling Silver Ear Wires I have created from 20 gauge Sterling Silver Wire and hammered by hand. The Roses and Sesame Jasper, Amazonite and Smokey Quartz gemstone beads dangle from Sterling Silver wireworked links, with Swarovski Austrian Crystal beads and Sterling Silver Bali beads and bead caps.

This is a stunning set. I wore this ONE TIME, to a beading gathering, just to show it off, it's NOT been worn since and I did change the ear wires. :) This set is totally unique, right down to the handcrafted art beads, that are so realistic no one could believe I had created these from Polymer Clay!

Metaphysical Lore:

Amazonite is a wonderful stone, a beautiful aqua shade, that comes in light and dark varieties. It has warm, loving energies, that brings about a very peaceful feeling. It is a stone great for aiding one with their intuition and psychic abilities. It is soothing and calming. This is one of my favorite stones!!

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!

Smokey Quartz is a type of Quartz, dark brown to light brown and gray in color. Most of what we find in beads or in jewelry has been heat treated to create the color. The metaphysical properties remain the same, as this does occur naturally as well, and causes the same condition. Smokey Quartz helps to remove negativity by softening up the negative energies, thus allowing more positive attributes to take it's place. It's very subtle and gentle in doing so, making the transition easier. Indeed, all actions of Smokey Quart are subtle and rather slow to get started. It also balances out the Yin Yang energies and assists in balancing the physical and ethereal bodies. Smokey Quartz can also aid one in balancing all aspects of ones body (physical, mental, emotional) helping one to reach attain spiritual growth. Wonderful for balancing and protection.

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.

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!

A gorgeous piece with beautiful beads and fantastic colors!

Bracelet Length: 8" (this is a very "chunky" bracelet and will fit much smaller than a traditional 8" bracelet)

Metaphysical Lore:

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.

Hearts are a wonderful symbol, used for centuries to symbolize love and affection. Often paired with other symbols, like cupid, thistles, hands, they are used to show and symbolize love for someone or something, and are even used as protection symbols, as in the Scottish Lukenbooth. Wonderful symbol!

Hematite is very grounding and balancing, allowing one to release negativity. It is healing and cleansing for disorders of the blood, and allows one to release harmful emotions. Hematite also balances the Yin/Yang energies. Most Hematite on the market today is referred to as "Hematine" or "Hemalyke" which is ground Hematite mixed with glass to inhibit it's tendency to rust. The vibration and magickal powers of the stone remain intact, and it's natural properties are not altered. I used to be dead set against using the "man-made" hematite, but since discovering the way it is made I have changed my mind, and I'm not too big a person to admit that I was wrong! It has wonderfully powerful energies and far be it from me to prevent you from wearing it!

Metaphysical Lore:

Stars are symbolic of many things. Many ancient cultures used stars in five or six points for a variety of purposes, but most often as signs of protection, and the different points represent different aspects of their belief system. Stars are also representative of the universe, and are often used in Astrology, I'm sure everyone has heard the saying "written in the stars". Stars are also "Suns" to other solar systems, our own Sun is a "Star" to some other distant planet! Stars and their symbolic meanings have played a large role in human history, using stars to navigate by, the Star of Bethlehem to guide the wise men, and many, many more such stories. Neat symbol!

MOON-The Moon is connected to the Goddess, women, fertility and water for many reasons. It was connected to the Goddess/Women/Fertility because the full moon and the cycles of the moon coincides with a woman's reproductive cycle, appearing every 28 days. It's affect on the oceans tides and water in general, make it a Water Energy, as well as affecting intuition and all around Magick. The three phases of the moon, Waxing, Full and Waning, also connect it to the Triple Aspect Goddess of Maiden, Mother and Crone. Wonderful symbolism, and wonderful SYMBOLS.

Pentagrams are the star WITHOUT the circle. An upright Pentagram is a favorite symbol of many Pagans and Wiccans and the five points of the star represent the five elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit, and is used as a protection symbol and it itself corresponds to the element of Earth.

Elements - Pagan paths adhere to the belief that divine beings oversee the four main Elements of the Earth, the very core of life itself, those Elements being, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The colors attached to these Elements are used to represent their powers. Green for Earth, Yellow for Air, Red for Fire and Blue for Water. All things on the Earth are made up of one or more of these elements. The Fifth element, not always depicted in symbolic jewelry, is that of Spirit, that which DOES represent the divine beings overseeing all the others. The color associated with spirit is clear/white and on a pentacle or pentagram is most often the point that points upward toward the heavens.

Aventurine comes in several colors, green, white, blue, peach, and all have fabulous energies. Aventurine is wonderful to assist in balancing feminine and masculine energies. It helps to accentuate ones creative aspects and helps to magnify the leadership qualities in an individual. It aids in balancing all the bodies of an individual, including the physical, emotional, intellectual and auric bodies. It is a wonderful stone!

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.

Blue Opal comes in lovely blue colors, from a nearly white-blue, to a deep blue, and is also sometimes found in a jelly-type blue color. Blue Opal helps to stimulate communication abilities and also with conveying thoughts and information that you were to shy to convey before. It gives one the the ability and courage to speak freely and to know when and to whom to speak it! It assists in furthering your creativity. Opals in general are often used to strengthen memory and to instill faithfulness.

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!

MOTHER GODDESS: Fertile, round and gentle, the Mother Goddess fulfills her duties freely and willingly, giving life and instilling love and joy to her offspring, teaching and showing them as she goes. She is the epitome of life, usually depicted with a full womb, round, large breasts, she is the very essence of life and all that it entails. The color red associated with the Mother Goddess is symbolic of the blood of life, that the Mother Goddess gives to all and everything that is. She is the Full Moon, round, and full and ripe with the magick of life and fertility.

Azurite/Malachite, as a combination mineral, assists the bearer to meditate into a deeper area so that one has been reborn into the light. It permits the user to reach these deeper areas without worry or fear and once it is achieved, the bearer retains what they learn there. It also gives the wearer an ability to be flexibly in matters and to bend with the breezes, helping to rid oneself of negative aspects such as arrogance and conceit and vanity, while giving the wearer a true feeling of connection to the "All". This is the true purpose of this stone, and it does so willingly and without any guidance from the user. It also provides great peace and calm for those that are ill, and allows healing to proceed.

Selkie - According to Celtic legend, the Selkie is a seal-like shape-shifting creature, that can remove her skin and is then able to walk upon dry land. They are even said to live on land as human women and to even bare offspring. Eventually, as many of the legends go, the call of the sea is too strong and causes them to revert back to their seal skins and to return to the open waters of the life giving sea. Many incredible stories and legends of this extremely shy and rarely seen member of the Fey family abound in Ireland and some of the old Irish families even had Selkies in their genealogy!

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 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.

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.

Greeks called it "aphroselene" which signified the splendor of the moon, or a moonbeam."

Stars are symbolic of many things.

Stars and their symbolic meanings have played a large role in human history, using stars to navigate by, the Star of Bethlehem to guide the wise men, and many, many more such stories. Neat symbol!

MOON-The Moon is connected to the Goddess, women, fertility and water for many reasons. It was connected to the Goddess/Women/Fertility because the full moon and the cycles of the moon coincides with a woman's reproductive cycle, appearing every 28 days. It's affect on the oceans tides and water in general, make it a Water Energy, as well as affecting intuition and all around Magick. The three phases of the moon, Waxing, Full and Waning, also connect it to the Triple Aspect Goddess of Maiden, Mother and Crone. Wonderful symbolism, and wonderful SYMBOLS.

Metaphysical Lore:

Hearts are a wonderful symbol, used for centuries to symbolize love and affection. Often paired with other symbols, like cupid, thistles, hands, they are used to show and symbolize love for someone or something, and are even used as protection symbols, as in the Scottish Lukenbooth. Wonderful symbol!

Spirals have been found in ancient ruins, in almost every culture. They symbolize the eternal flow of birth, death and rebirth/reincarnation, and is also used to mark "healers". Probably the most recognized are the Spirals in Celtic Knotwork and in Native American artifacts. Great symbol!

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!!

Copper is a great metal for use with gemstones. Because of it's conductivity, it can assist in helping the energy transfer from stones to the wearer, which is a great benefit for healing purposes. It also has great healing properties of it's own, and has been used for centuries for treating arthritis, and other joint related ailments. It helps to increase ones initiative, and independence, as well as diplomacy.

GG's Exclusives Keys To Your Ear Polymer Clay Art Bead Earrings

2009-01-05T17:10:00.000-08:00

Lovely Artisan Crafted Polymer Clay Art beads I created in beautiful browns, golds, orange and yellows, wireworked on Brass Wire with Gold Filled Ear Wires, and Gold-plate over Bronze Key charms with Swarovski Austrian Crystal dangles wireworked on Brass wire. Really cute earrings, lots of sparkle and great earth-tone colors.

Earrings Length: 3"

Metaphysical Lore:

Brass is a metal that corresponds with the element of fire,and is highly protective in nature. It has often been used as a substitute for gold in magickal spells, although it doesn't contain all the magickal attributes that gold carries, it is good to use for money drawing and prosperity spells. It also has great healing properties.

Gold is a warm energy metal, with energies correlating to the Sun and the male aspect. Gold is great for prosperity, and abundance. Great for working with God energies.

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.

GG's Exclusives MEDIEVAL GREEN AMBER Chain MAILLE Earrings with CONNEMARA MARBLE and CELTIC TRIQUETRA

2009-01-05T16:45:00.000-08:00

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!

Earrings Length: 3 1/2"

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.

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.

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!

It is usually portrayed as a sleek, white horse with a spiraled horn on its forehead, although the way it appears and behaves differs, depending on it's location. In the west it was generally wild and untamable, while to the east in the Orient it was peaceful, shy and thought to be the bearer of good luck. There it is usually described as an animal that closely resembled a goat, having cloven hooves and a beard. In Japan it is referred to as Kirin, and in China Ki-lin. The name is most likely based on the Hebrew word re'em, where in early translations of the Bible's Old Testament translates as "monokeros", meaning "one horn", and that eventually became "unicorn" in English.

Green Tourmaline is a beautiful stone, in many shades of green from deep forest green to olive almost yellow green. All green stones have healing properties, and Green Tourmaline is no exception. Also, as with other green stones, it is a wonderful aid for drawing prosperity and helping to succeed in business. It helps to stir your creativity, assists with patience and allowing one to be more open and sincere in dealing with others. It helps one to see and appreciate the many wonders that are all around us.

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.

Copper is a great metal for use with gemstones. Because of it's conductivity, it can assist in helping the energy transfer from stones to the wearer, which is a great benefit for healing purposes.

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.

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!

Rose Quartz, another stone of the Quartz family, is full of warm loving energies. It is a delicate pink color, and is often dyed to enhance its pale pink color. The energies it has also feel very soft and delicate. It provides very gentle loving energies, and brings peace and calm to the wearer. It provides energy for emotional healing. Aids one during periods of loss and stress. It takes away fear, resentment and anger in the wearer and provides one with higher esteem and self-confidence.

Pink Opal is referred to as a stone of "re-newel", making new the connection of oneself with all else that is. It helps bridge the gap between what is conscious and what is called your inner self. It is a stone that is great to use for inner healing on all levels, great for meditative use, and for connecting with those in other dimensions and areas of the universe. Pretty incredible stone!

Amazonite is a wonderful stone, a beautiful aqua shade, that comes in light and dark varieties. It has warm, loving energies, that brings about a very peaceful feeling. It is a stone great for aiding one with their intuition and psychic abilities. It is soothing and calming. This is one of my favorite stones!!

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!!

Smoky Quartz is a type of Quartz, dark brown to light brown and gray in color. Most of what we find in beads or in jewelry has been heat treated to create the color. The metaphysical properties remain the same, as this does occur naturally as well, and causes the same condition. Smoky Quartz helps to remove negativity by softening up the negative energies, thus allowing more positive attributes to take it's place. It's very subtle and gentle in doing so, making the transition easier. Indeed, all actions of Smoky Quart are subtle and rather slow to get started. It also balances out the Yin Yang energies and assists in balancing the physical and ethereal bodies. Smoky Quartz can also aid one in balancing all aspects of ones body (physical, mental, emotional) helping one to reach attain spiritual growth. Wonderful for balancing and protection.

My wonderful husband Trent is now creating gorgeous Lampwork Glass beads in our studio in Batavia, Ohio. Lampworking glass to create beads is an ancient art, and has changed very little throughout it's history. Glass is melted in an open flame, today we use a torch, and then wound on a mandrel, shaped by rolling and moving the molten glass, and by using hand tools, then the bead still on the mandrel is annealed in a kiln to give it strength and durability. Lampwork beads that are not annealed could fracture and break because the glass did not cool slowly enough, this is called thermal shock. ALL our lampwork beads are properly annealed in a REAL kiln, NOT a "bead annealer".

Keeping Cool

Earrings Length: 1 7/8"

Metaphysical Lore:

Dolphins are such wonderful creatures, intelligent, magickal and so intune with the feelings of humans!! Some dolphins actually seek out human companionship and have often saved swimmers and divers from shark attacks. They have also proven useful for therapy work with needy children and adults!! What loving energies they have! Dolphins are one of the animals associated with the Greek God Poseidon, the most famous God of the Sea. The dolphin often displays a kind, benevolent behavior. It has a large brain and a great intelligence. Even today, rather than be wary of humans, who would kill them, they enjoy the company and their curiosity draws them close. As Totem animals they possess the power of breath and sound, and their cycle of power is year-round.

Pearls are wonderful gems, not really stones, but organic in nature, are products of oysters and are usually cultured, that is, the oyster is implanted with a foreign object for the Pearl to grow around and then later cultivated when they reach the size desired. They come in many different natural colors and are also dyed or color inhanced. They are associated with the elements of water and spirit. They emit warm, gentle loving energies, and help to encourage compassion. They bring the loving energy of the sea to the wearer. They bring Goddess energies to whatever they are connected to.

GG's Exclusives CHAKRA and HEALING HAND Charm BEADED Bracelet WITH Clear QUARTZ CRYSTAL and SWAROVSKI

2009-01-04T13:37:00.000-08:00

Wonderful beaded bracelet, with faceted Clear Quartz Crystal gemstone beads, with Swarovski Austrian Crystals in all seven of the Chakra Colors, strung on 49 strand Beadalon beading wire, with Sterling Silver bead caps, Sterling Silver Lobster Claw Clasp and a fabulous Sterling Silver "Healing Hand" charm! Great piece with wonderful symbolism and great gemstone properties!

Bracelet Length: 8 3/8"

Metaphysical Lore:

The symbol of the "Healing Hand" is one of a healer. The spiral in the center is often to represent those that perform Reiki or some other spiritual "hands on" type of healing, as spirals are representative of the universe and that

which is unending. Healing by energy or laying of hands has been a part of human history for millenia. In Eastern traditions it has been a part of not only their spiritual paths but a mainstream part of their culture. Reiki, and other forms of hands on healing are starting to take hold here in the west and are gaining in popularity.

Chakras are seven energy centers located in our physical bodies, with correlating colors and energies for those areas. The Charkas go in this order:

Crown Chakra, located just above your head and is represented by purple.

Third Eye, located at the forehead, is represented by blue.

The Throat Chakra, located at the base of the throat, and is represented by aqua/turquoise.

The Heart/Lung Chakra, located in the upper chest, is represented by green.

The Solar Plexus Chakra, located in the upper stomach area and is represented by yellow.

The Sacrum Chakra, located in the lower abdomoen is represented by orange.

The final Chakra is the Root Chakra, located at the very base of the spine and is represented by red.

Each energy center oversees a specific area of health, both physical and emotional. Chakra work is a key element in many of the Eastern Faiths and is getting more popular among Western faiths as well.

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.

paths to send away evil spirits.

BOOK OF SHADOWS: The Book of Shadows, is a witch's journal where all her spells, potions, and magickal thoughts and notes of all kinds are kept and recorded. Many BOS are passed on from generation to generation, either through families or coven traditions.

CANDLES: Great tool for moving energy. Candles are used to light our alters, represent the God and Goddess. Different colors are used for different spellwork, and candles are the only tool that represents ALL elements, earth when solid, fire when it, air when smoking and water when melting. Candle Magick is among the strongest and most used of all magick.

Pentacles are a five pointed intertwined star inside a circle. To many Pagan and Wiccan traditions, the Pentacle most commonly symbolize the elements of life, with the points of the star meaning, Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit, and the circle around them all symbolizes eternal life in birth, death and reincarnation, and also the Wheel of the Year, life going on in an endless circle with no beginning and no end. The Pentacle is an old, old symbol, frequently found on ancient pottery and even found in the Egyptian Pyramids. It is a symbol of protection, even used by law enforcement officers and those in the military. It is quite an important and powerful symbol, which is still in some places mistaken for a symbol of evil and satan worship which is just totally untrue and misguided.

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.

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.

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.

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!
