Gorgeous Jewelry by Jeanette

Hello everyone!
Well, another week has flown by. Life gets too busy sometimes!
I've been enjoying looking at some great jewelry made by Jeanette, and she's said it's okay for me to put some on the blog for you to look at. I also like the way she blends beautiful jewelry with the healing powers of crystals and gemstones. I also like the handmade clasps. Her website is at http://jameliadesigns.wetpaint.com/

First up I had to pick something green!



Chrysocolla & silver
This beautiful chrysocolla necklace measures 19.5" or almost 50cm. The beads measure 16 x 20mm. It is hand knotted with black silk and finished with a hand made sterling silver clasp. Chrysocolla is a hydrous copper silicate.

Chrysocolla is said to be a calming, cleansing and re-energising stone. It may help with guilt, destructive emotions and heartache. It may assist with self awareness, confidence, sensitivity and creativity.

The physical healing properties of chrysocolla are believed to be many. Some are - assistance with PMS and cramps, arthritis, muscle spasms, blood oxygenation, liver, kidneys, intestines and pancreas.



Crazy lace agate & silver

This hand knotted crazy lace necklace closes with a simple sterling silver hook.
The agate has been dyed a beautiful colour pink which has really brought out the pattern in the agate. The beads measure 18mm long x 14mm wide and the necklace length is 19.25" or 49cm long. Agate is a member of the quartz family with the same chemical composition of silicon dioxide.

Agate is said to bring physical, mental and emotional balance and self confidence. It may help overcome negativity and bitterness and inner tension. Useful for emotional trauma. It may be useful for hollow organs e.g. stomach, uterus, intestines etc. and healing for the eyes. Crazy lace agate is said to bring elegance, mental agility, liveliness and flexibility (perhaps like its patterning).

And finally, a really interesting piece.




Jade and silver necklace with sugilite pendant with jade earrings
This necklace measures 21" or 53cm long. The beads measure 6mm in diameter.
The jade beads have beeen dyed a beautiful purple. The pendant measures 3cm long x 4cm wide. The earrings measure 3cm long. Jade's chemical composition is sodium aluminuim silicate.

Jade is believed to attract friendship and good luck. It is a protective stone, bringing harmony to the wearer, bringing mind into balance with the body.
Jade is said to be a cleansing stone, working with the kidneys.

Sugilite's chemical composition is potassium sodium, iron, manganese, aluminium, lithium silicate.

Sugilite is a spiritual stone. It is said to protect the soul from shocks and trauma, relieving spiritual tension. It is a healing stone alleviating negative energy, encouraging positive thoughts. It is a good pain reliever and supportive to nerves and the brain.
