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

Center Drop: 2 3/4"

Metaphysical Lore:

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.

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 Fabulous Flower Garden 'N Gems Bracelet

Wow! LOTS of great Hand-crafted Polymer Clay Art beads I created just for this bracelet. Roses and Lillies, and the bracelet itself is created with wireworked links of lampwork styled polymer clay beads to match the flower beads. Done in purples, lavender, periwinkle and red, with Amethyst, Blue Lace Agate and faceted Clear Quartz Crystal gemstone beads, along with multiple colors of Swarovski Austrian Crystal beads, with lots of Sterling Silver beads and bead caps, lots of wireworked designs at the ends of the drops, and the bracelet is finished with a Sterling Silver Lobster Claw clasp and the other end has wireworked links with Swarovski Austrian Crystal beads and Czech Glass bead links that allow this bracelet adjustable sizing. While this bracelet is LOADED with bead drops, it is exceptionally lightweight. Beautiful and will DEFINITELY be a conversation piece! Fun and gorgeous piece to wear!

Length Of Bracelet: 7" - 8 1/4" (this is a "chunky" bracelet and will fit smaller than a beaded or chain bracelet of the same length)

Metaphysical Lore:

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful Sterling Silver Artisan Crafted Earrings and Cuff Set, with Sterling Silver Cast Star charms and Sterling Silver Moon Face cast charm links, with Sterling Silver Chain drops with Swarovski Austrian Crystal beads and Rainbow Moonstone gemstone beads.

Lots of sparkle and great symbols!

Earrings Length: 3 1/2" Ear Cuff Drop: 1 1/8" Chain Length Between Cuff and Earring: 4 1/8"

Metaphysical Lore:

Stars are symbolic of many things. Many ancient cultures used stars in five or six points for a variety of purposes, but most often as signs of protection, and the different points represent different aspects of their belief system. Stars are also representative of the universe, and are often used in Astrology, I'm sure everyone has heard the saying "written in the stars". Stars are also "Suns" to other solar systems, our own Sun is a "Star" to some other distant planet! Stars and their symbolic meanings have played a large role in human history, using stars to navigate by, the Star of Bethlehem to guide the wise men, and many, many more such stories. Neat symbol!

MOON-The Moon is connected to the Goddess, women, fertility and water for many reasons. It was connected to the Goddess/Women/Fertility because the full moon and the cycles of the moon coincides with a woman's reproductive cycle, appearing every 28 days. It's affect on the oceans tides and water in general, make it a Water Energy, as well as affecting intuition and all around Magick. The three phases of the moon, Waxing, Full and Waning, also connect it to the Triple Aspect Goddess of Maiden, Mother and Crone. Wonderful symbolism, and wonderful SYMBOLS.

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." (Portions taken from "The Science and Romance of Precious Stones, Noble Metals and Organic Wonders", used with permission by author Barbara Nelson, G.G.)

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.

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.

Metaphysical Lore:

Copper is a great metal for use with gemstones. Because of it's conductivity, it can assist in helping the energy transfer from stones to the wearer, which is a great benefit for healing purposes. It also has great healing properties of it's own, and has been used for centuries for treating arthritis, and other joint related ailments. It helps to increase ones initiative, and independence, as well as diplomacy.

GG's Exclusives CHAIN MAILLE Earrings with CONNEMARA MARBLE and CELTIC KNOT Charms MEDIEVAL Arthurian

Beautiful chain maille earrings I have crafted with bright aluminum rings, with Sterling Silver Wireworked links of Connemara Marble gemstone, lovely drops of olivine Swarovski Austrian Crystal beads and Sterling Silver Celtic Knot charms, dangling from hand-formed and hammered Sterling Silver Ear Wires I have created from 20 gauge wire. Great earrings, fun and dangly! Very medieval looking, great for those in SCA, or that just like Celtic/Irish themed jewelry. Just beautiful!

Earrings Length: 3 3/8" long

Metaphysical Lore:

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.

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.

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.

Swarovski Austrian Crystal Beads: 6mm and 4mm Bicones

Metaphysical Lore:

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.
