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.
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.

Unicorn - The unicorn is a legendary animal. 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.

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.

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".

Metaphysical Lore:
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.

The ancient Celtic word for bear is "artos" which is found incorporated into numerous names. The goddesses Artio and Andarta were both Bear Goddesses. The Greek Goddess, Artemis, could shape-shift into a bear, and the similarities to her name and that of the old Celtic for bear cannot be denied. So, bears have indeed played quite a role in ancient legends of the Gods, the Celts and others.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.
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.
Obsidian, is not actually a stone but a form of volcanic glass. It comes in many different color and pattern varieties. It is a very protective and grounding stone, as well as a good stone for healing. It is great for guarding against negativity, actually transforming the negative energies surrounding you. Snowflake Obsidian is also bi-colored, black with patches of white that resemble snowflakes. It is a stone that can bring purity and balance to body mind and the spirit. It helps to tap into the most important energies of all the universe, those of love and beauty.
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.
