This design feature a large Silver wired, hammered and forged hoops having a charm made with natural powerful gemstones I used Amazonite, Red Coral, and faceted Crystal. I love the combination of colors of these three gemstones and their great meanings.

Amazonite takes the name from the Amazon river it is the stone of Courage and Truth. This gemstone it is used in Jewelry from way long time since the Mesopotamian Cultures. The wonderful light blue-green color remind the water  it is soothing and calming for the soul. Emits powers of strong energy.  Was often used as talisman for protection. This beautiful stone is believed to be used from the mythical Tribe of  the courageous and strong Amazonian women warriors.
Red Coral the beautiful Red Coral gemstone symbolize Life and bring messages of peace within self, emits positive energy and protection.
Crystal there is an interesting message for clear crystals and it is that Clear Crystal has the property to amplifier the powers of other gemstones combined with it, in this case it will empower more the Amazonite and Coral.

I named the hoop earrings  “Life of Courage and Truth”

Limited Edition

A little girl drawing hearts…and a jewel…

Once upon a time…a beautiful little girl was learning how drawing hearts…

her hearts were so lovely and unique in shape ending with a happy swirl a detail that was giving the hearts a sense of character and uniqueness. This adorable little girl was about 4 years old when she started drawing hearts using pens, pencils, markers and watercolors making beautiful little paintings. She has been drawing her beautiful and recognizable hearts everywhere, in any ways and kinds. Time has passed and until today 7 years later, she still drawing the same adorable hearts. The little girl is grown in a beautiful teen she is 11 almost 12 years old right now, and I am her proud Mom. I always loved her beautiful hearts dedicated to me in her lovely cards year after year. I have been fascinated by her drawings at the point that I wanted to do something special. She  inspired me to create a beautiful pendant and make it into a necklace that I named “Neriah’s Heart”

Neriah's heart5a sketches

Neriah is my daughter name, and this new heart pendant is our new design, something we share together, it has a very special meaning to me. I love how it turned out that I want to share it with the world.
This necklace would be part of my  “Among Nature” Collection  it would be only produced as Custom Order and in Limited Edition for whom is interested, it can be purchased here or on my Etsy Shop.

Neriah's heart1a

This pendant is made out of 925 Sterling Silver wire or there is the option to be made with other metals like Copper or Silver plated copper. The natural gemstones I choose are Rose Quartz, Blue Quartz and Crystals, I like their meanings and powers combined together:

CALMING & HARMONIOUS

Blue Quartz purifies the mental, emotional and physical bodies. It helps calm the mind, allowing expression of the individuals will and assists in reaching out to others. It stimulates intuitive insight and enhances communication and creative expression.

LOVE AND PEACE
Rose Quartz promotes unconditional love, forgiveness, infinite peace and compassion. It creates harmony in relationships and teaches us about the true essence of love. It purifies and opens up the heart allowing us to express our emotions. It reduces stress and tension, allowing us to express love, sensitivity and compassion towards ourselves and others. Rose Quartz brings a deep inner healing, enhancing self love, self trust, self worth and self confidence. It can be used to attract love into your life and maintain happy loving relationships.
