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

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!

GG's Exclusives Spring In The Lilly Garden Polymer Clay Art Bead Bracelet


Beautiful Sterling Silver wireworked link bracelet, with many, many drops of Artisan Crafted Polymer Clay Art Beads I have created just for this bracelet, along with Cultured Freshwater Pearls, Czech Glass beads, Clear Quartz Crystal gemstone beads, Sterling Silver beads and bead caps and finished with a Bali Sterling Silver Toggle Clasp. This is a fantastic bracelet with beautiful spring colors, peach, yellow, aqua, off white. With Lilly flower beads, and "bumpy" beads in matching colors, and lovely swirled accent beads with all the colors to match, all in wonderful Polymer Clay and all hand-crafted by myself. While this bracelet looks extremely heavy, it is actually very light for all the bead drops on it. This will surely be a conversation piece and will get you LOTS of attention! 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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings with pink polymer clay art beads, with "daisies" , in Sterling Silver Wireworked links with Bali Sterling Silver bead caps, Sterling Silver accent beads, and drops with Swarovski Austrian Crystal beads and Sterling Silver Wireworked faceted Rose Quartz gemstone briolettes. These great little earrings dangle from hand-crafted/hammered Sterling Silver Ear Wires (20 gauge Sterling Silver Wire). So cute!!!

Earrings Length: 2"


Metaphysical Lore:


Daisies represent the Maiden Goddess Aspect, and have long been used to foretell a young maiden if a particular suitor is the person they will marry! By holding a daisy and plucking the petals and saying "He loves me, he loves me not" until a single petal is left, will tell her marital future! Not surprisingly, Daisies are associated with Venus. They correspond with the element of water. Said to be favored by the Fae, having daisies in your garden are sure to encourage the Fae to dwell there!


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.

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


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.
