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.

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!Price: $225.00
