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

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!

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.

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!Price: $225.00

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.

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.
