Chrysocolla DragonFly Necklace

Off all the necklaces that I have designed, this Chrysocolla DragonFly necklace is my FAVOURITE. I have had the thought of keeping this design for myself as I love all things DragonFly!

When I first put this out for sale, I had many admirers, many touched, many tried it on but could not carry it. Finally, my cousin, who by the way lives in France, saw it, tried it and it's now hers! She carried it very well!

A short write-up on the Chrysocolla stones and if youwish to find out more about any other stones and their meanings, I recommend you visit this website http://crystal-cure.com/ :
It brings about calm feelings where one is upset. It is a stone of peace, increased wisdom and discretion. It is also a stone used to attract love. Chrysocolla promotes level headiness, encouraging clarity of thought and a neutral, cool attitude during turbulence. It can be used to decreased nervousness and irritability.

The ones features on this blogpost are Jade and Citrine semi-precious stones. According to Emily Gems (you can check out more about other semi-precious stones at : http://crystal-cure.com/), the following is what is written about Jade and Citrine stones.

Jade ~ it's an ancient stone that has historically been used to attract love in China. It is also a stone that is said to bring you money. Jade is aslo a protective stone, guarding one against accidents and misfortune.

Citrine ~ also known as the lucky "Merchants Stone". If you are in any type of sales, just put a citrine in the cash drawer and watch what happens. It is also used to increase self esteem, protect one from negative energy, opens the mind to new thoughts and promote clarity of thought.

Lava Stone Necklaces

Initially Lava Stones (a.k.a. Basalt) didn't appeal to me. But after making a one decade rosary for a friend, it looked very 'natural', very rugged. So I've decided to make necklaces by mixing it with other stones.

Here is what I found out about Lava Stone from Silvermoon Stonewear and you can check out their website at : http://www.silvermoonstonewear.com

"Basalt is solidified molten lava, an igneous volcanic rock producted in intense heat conditions. A stone of strength and fertility, Basalt provides stability in times of change. Lava stone helps to dissipate anger and provide guidance and understanding as it assists one in 'bouncing back'. A very grounding stone, black Lava will strengthen our connection to Mother Earth."

Tri Jade Color Necklaces

When I saw these Tri-Color Jade stones, I knew that in order for these stones to be noticed, it's design had to be as simple as possible. Believe me, many people admired this design, tried it on but they just couldn't carry it well. In the end, it was sold to two individuals, one for her daughter's mother-in-law and the other for herself.

More Special Request

My Mum bought a string of Garnet necklace from India a long time ago. She hardly uses it. She has asked me to break it down to make two necklaces, one for her and the other for myself. It just so happened that I recently just managed to source a pendant that looks like Garnet. It's deep purple and it's Cat's Eye stone.

I managed to make two necklaces (one with pendant and the other without a pendant), two ear-rings and a bracelet.

Here is how it looks like :-
