GG's Exclusives Celtic Selkie Dangle Earrings


Wonderful symbolic earrings with Celtic Selkie beads I created from polymer clay. I rarely ever use molds for my polymer clay beads, but these I did create from a mold I created. Along with the Polymer Clay Selkies are Sterling Silver wireworked links of Lapis and Cultured Freshwater Pearls, and faceted Czech Glass Beads, with Sterling Silver beads and bead caps and they dangle from hand-crafted Sterling Silver Ear Wires I created from 20 gauge wire and hand-hammered for texture and ease of wearing. Great symbolic jewelry!

Earrings Length: 3 1/8"

Metaphysical Lore:

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 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.

Lapis is a wonderful stone, cherished and used by the ancient Egyptians centuries ago for its healing and metaphysical properties. It is great to use to tap into your intuitive nature and psychic abilities. The energies of this stone have existed before time was even born. It is good to relieve insomnia and to rid oneself of anxiety.

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.

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.

Rainbow Moonstone can be used to invoke the power of the Moon, as well as for intuition, inner wisdom, and knowledge. It vibrates with feminine wisdom and with Goddess energy. The Rainbow effect invokes a spectrum of light, and is very cleansing and uplifting. "Romans called the moonstone "lunaris", and believed it enclosed the image of Diana (goddess of forest and groves), who could endow love, wealth, victory and wisdom to the owner. Greeks called it "aphroselene" which signified the splendor of the moon, or a moonbeam."

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


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.
