A Pretty Piece and So Much More!
This is AMULET jewelry. Each piece has its own special meaning and magical properties. I use numerology, feng shui principles and stone properties to create a meaningful and beautiful piece of art, if I do say so myself! Of course, I give them each special attention to amp up the chi!
High Quality Stuff!
The materials seen in this collection are pearls, Swarovski crystal, garnet, onyx (very occasionally), sterling silver findings and beading wire.
This bracelet above is composed of garnet, Swarovski crystal and pearls. The design is very unique and a mathematical feat! The qualities are confidence, peace, romance and communication.
The bracelet to the right was made with dyed fuscia coin pearls, Swarovki crystal, and a heart and arrow toggle clasp, to symbolize love : ) Of course, pink is the color for the relationship section of the feng shui bagua. And I used the number 2 for love. So, this one is quite powerful if you're looking for help with a relationship!
The bracelet to the left is very unique and it's made of garnet, pearls, and Swarovski crystal. It is spelled for confidence, love and romance. I love the contrast between the opaque pearls and the semi-translucent garnets. Of course, I adore the crystals, too. They help add balance and interest. Rounded things have yin, or feminine energy. Faceted or angled things are generally yang, or masculine, in nature. That's one reason why I mix pearls and crystal frequently!
Crystals & Feng Shui
Crystals are widely used in the practice of feng shui to dispel negative energy and attract positive energy. They are very powerful. All the crystal that I use is super high quality Swarovski crystal. Of course, the manufacturing of leaded crystal has an impact on the environment. So does the the production of all these materials. That is why I am committed to using up what I have in my collection (going years back) and really limiting my purchase of new materials. I'm doing this in the most conscious way I can, for the benefit of all.
A Work of Art
In the necklace to the left, the crystals are what really hold the composition together. There is something constant...a thread to unite three very different types of pearls...luscious peach pearls, irregular mauve pearls and smooth dark red pearls.
Two Looks with One Necklace!
It is extra long, for versatility. It can be worn long, with a simple sheath dress, for example, or doubled for a shorter, multiple-stranded look. The qualities I used in this magnificent piece are love (of course), romance, and sensuality. Very juicy!
Say "I Heart You!" on Valentine's Day! Or Any Other Day!
There's one more feature...the charming heart clasp. So lovely! Every part counts in the design of my pieces. I love clasps with character and meaning. Many of the amulets in my "Sweetheart Collection" have either a heart and arrow toggle clasp (below) or a heart-shaped lobster clasp, like the one above.
Speaking in Metaphors
Symbols are used often in feng shui...particularly BTB or Black Hat feng shui. Symbols that are rich with meaning or that have a personal significance, have the most potent effect for the person using them. For example, you can use heart-shaped items in the love/relationship section of your home or bedroom. Just make sure you have two hearts, if you are in a relationship or desire one. Otherwise, you'll be in the lonely hearts club! Nothing wrong with going solo...just sayin'!
Beading By Numbers
Speaking of numbers, most of the pieces here have the number 2 embedded into the design. For example, the necklace on the left has 2 crystals between each pearl. The number 2 represents love, peace, harmony, beauty, balance and partnership. All great things for a sweetheart collection!
I also used the number 3 frequently. This super sweet necklace has 3 strands. 3 represents communication, expression, enthusiasm, and playfulness. Also fantastic things for your relationships!
Your Little Secret
The great thing about these bracelets and necklaces is that nobody will know, unless you want them to, that they have a special meaning. It can be just for you! Your own little private joke. Something to amuse you on those ho-hum days at the office...or to keep you going in time of distress. Each piece will come with a handwritten card explaining the significance of the piece.
Specially Made, Just for You!
Here's another super cool thing...you can order a bracelet or necklace made to your specifications! Love bracelets but have a large wrist? Join the club, sister! So do I and I'd be happy to make a bracelet sure to fit YOU. Do you have a dress that you've been seeking jewelry for? Send me a pic, and I'll create something to go with it. That's how all this got started, by the way. As a super fashion conscious diva, I wanted jewelry to go with specific outfits. I decided to make my own! Everything you see here came from that concept.
Have a special friend in mind? I'll create an amulet that she'll cherish. There's nothing like a hand-made Valentine...or a hand-made piece of amulet jewelry for mother's day, birthdays, wedding and Christmas gifts, a pick-me-up, etc!
Made with love, by yours truly!
