This weighty choker is a fresh change from the usual pearls. Thi s done with hermatite beads of different sizes and silver beads.

Hematite is one of the most grounding crystals. It's got an energy of calmness, balance and clarity and can assist with reducing negativity and re-balancing yourself. As the energy is so peaceful and calming, it's often chosen as an aid for helping sleep difficulties. In the same way, it can also be used for meditation and bringing about a peaceful state and clear mind.

Greenies


Greenies

This is bloodstone and yes, its green.  Its the same stone as pinkies, a necklace I did a while ago.  Green is actually a more common color for bloodstones along with deep red.  



Mystic Carnelian


Mystic Carnelian

I was inspired to do more long necklaces after lotta mookie and came up with this.  Its oriental again and I've decided to have an oriental collection.  Red stones and mystic knots = good fengshui !









Lotta Lotta mooookie


Lotta Mookite

This is the longest necklace that I've done to date.  I like the fact that you can loop this around or leave it hanging as a long necklace.  Its done with mookite and yellow faux cats eyes.  Check out the lovely mookite shades from pink to deep mauve to creamy yellow.

Goldies


Golden Rutile

Check out the golden specks in the crystals.  It looks like the crystals have golden needles growing in them.  My oriental side came out to play =)

This piece has good feng-shui elements if you are a believer... mystic knots n golden rutiles.... hehehe

ok, about the crystal, ...
Golden rutilated quartz integrates energy at many levels. It heightens the energy of other quartz stones and is an important healing stone. It illuminates the soul, cleanses and energizes, removes barriers to spiritual growth and golden rutile also filters negative energy.







moooooo moooo



Mo0000Kite !

Mookite is one of my finds recently.  Mookite also known as Australian Jasper is considered as a power healing gemstone. Physically, Mookite is believed by some to promote good health by stimulating the immune system. Most Mookite is mottled crimson, red, pink, yellow and cream all in one specimen but some are more reddish or purplish and often display interesting swirled designs.  

I love the interesting play of colors.  Lovely !





Pearly Amethyst


Pearly Amethyst

This color combination came up so nicely, pinky pearly and purple amethyst.  Its quite a heavy choker because of the amethyst and pearls.   However, if feels really cool and nice on the skin.  

Amethyst contains the grounding color of red with the energy of blue, which is expanding, spacious and flow of peace.  This crystal is the most recommended stone for stress relief.  Helps you feel less scattered and more in control of your faculties. Memory skills and motivation improve too.

Pearls can relieve uneasiness, nervousness, anxiety and tension. Pearls are mentally stabilizing, generate beautiful skin and clear toxins.

 Pretty and peaceful?  hmmm ...






Pretty corals


Spikey Corals

Coral has always been one of my favourite colors.  Coral brings diplomacy and concurrence, quiets emotions, brings peace to innerself. Facilitates intuition, imagination, visualization, expedite, accelerate the transfer of knowledge.

Golly Gee ! Its Eyeballs !!!


Eyeballs !


Eyeballs  closeup

A friend of mine came to my house for a visit and saw this and he exclaimed 'Eyeballs!' sigh... hence its christianed 'Eyeballs'  This creation is made up of howlite and do check out the lovely grey streaks on the stones. Its simply beautiful!

The stone of emotional expression, Howlite can be used to facilitate awareness, encourage calm communication by combining reason with patience and observation. Howlite gently absorbs and uplifts stress, tension, anxiety and emotional intensity due to emotional imbalance. Howlite works by helping one to build decency of character. It shows us how to be less selfish, confrontational and less critical. This is a good stone to help eliminate rage and anger. Howlite increases action, dissolves hesitation as it encourages ambition towards one's goals.






 

Hematite


Smokey Hematite 

I found this pretty blue pressed glass bead that I thought will be great as a feature bead.  Thought of new combinations and came up with Hematite and Onyx and gunmetal chains to give it a dark smoky feel to it.

Hematite is silver-gray metallic stone which is actually iron ore.  Considered the symbol of life energy, hematite allows for more confidence, will power and boldness.  This stone is also a protective stone and helps bolster low self-esteem. Hematite is known to deflect negativity. It restores equilibrium, stability and is also used for astral protection.



Glassy


Glassy!

This is one of my earliest pieces and its for moi ! =)  I was seeking out beads in a dodgy shop in Chinatown and found these lovely glazed glass beads.  Had an idea to do this immediately and once its completed, it was love at first sight.



cupid's arrow


Cupid's Arrow

I made this piece on a whim while playing with my crafts box.  I saw this cupid's arrow toggle clasp and realised that I've not used this in any of my designs!  I was thinking that this toggle clasp is too cute to be hidden at the back and it screams out to be showcased.  Finally came out with this idea to have the clasp in front.  =) I'm happy now

This piece is done with green fluorite and onyx beads.

Green Fluorite stills the mind and heart, harmonizes and recharges all Chakra. Green Fluorite is a valuable helper in grounding excess energies.




Carnelian



Carnelian Necklace

I enjoyed doing this necklace.  It is longer than the usual choker and it has a double antique copper chain to hold the carnelian beads.  Copper and carnelian goes together so well.  A modern look to a fairly traditional quartz.

Carnelian represents confidence, boldness, initiative, dramatic abilities, assertiveness and outgoingness. This stone helps you feel anchored and comfortable with your surroundings. Provides a connection to the past or to historical events. Carnelian can improve motivation. Helps one achieve greater success in career or personal matters. Helps ground people who meditate. Carnelian is one of the most helpful crystals for healing trauma, stress and emotional wounds that have accumulated in the etheric body or the Aura and are now manifesting as physical symptoms.





Blueeeeey


Blueeeeeey

Blueeeey is made with Sodalite set with silver spacers on gunmetal chains.
 
Sodalite is most recognized for healing, meditation and wisdom. This a good stone for general communication. Considered a stone that is still evolving, sodalite can strongly affect changes in your attitude about yourself. It helps you be more objective and less critical about ways of dealing with existence.

Hmmm... I like the last part about being less critical.  These days, I find people being quite harsh on themselves and the people around them. Sodalite anyone??

Rosy


Rosy Ensemble

This piece looks deceptively simple but it was quite a challenge to do as those bronze spacers are darn thin and delicate !  But I love the effect of bronze with Rose Quarts and dark red Swarovski crystals.  It looks so delicate n pretty !!

Rose Quartz represents love, beauty, peacefulness, forgiving, lovingness, self-love and emotional balance. It is a soft, gentle, soothing stone that warms the heart. This stone also helps us discover the ability to love ourselves and makes us more open to other people. It also bring you love and friends.

Cherry Candies


Cherry Candies

This piece is uber cute !!! I wore it for a day and I cannot stop waving my hands to hear the crystals clinking and moving.  Love this !!! oh ya, its cherry quarts plus silver foil beads





Candy Charms


Soya's Candies

Soya has this super destructive tendency to break practically anything she wear or touch.. One day at work she broke her charm on this bracelet.  Well, took it back home and decided to create her some candy charms made lampwork glass and silver foil glass beads.  

Soya, stay away from the pink bead !




Butterflies


Silvery Butterflies

I enjoy creating charm bracelets as I find it so pretty =)  this is a simple silver beads and butterfly bracelet.


Pinkies !


Pink Bloodstone Choker

Bloodstone is a wonderful crystal generally associated blood circulation and purification.  It can also be a powerful aid to revitalisation when the body and mind are exhausted. Bloodstone is also strong grounding and protecting stone and is believed to promote love and understanding between friends, resulting in the building of solid friendships.

I generally find Bloodstones to be green with red/brown and yellow flecks and Erick has been pestering me for a choker made out of only red/brown stones.  It took me a while but finally managed to find this beautiful strand of lovely pink bloodstones for him.  

Happy, Erick???  

 



Sweet n Flirty

Sweet n Flirty

Silky Heart


Silky Heart

This is a piece with a background.... I was shopping with Jenn one day and we saw this fairly huge acrylic hearts earring at a stall.  The swirly designs caught my eye but its really funky as earrings.  I decided to take it apart and give it a new lease of life as a lovely heart pendant on a silk n leather cord.  End result? Gorgeous !


Bit's


Onyx n Olive

I'm absolutely in love with this crystal now.  Onyxx !  I did this for my sis-in-law recently for her birthday.  I like this pix a lot.  Really brings out the beauty of the onyx and olive beads.  

P/S : Black Onyx is a soothing and comforting stone, useful in times of grief or excessive mental or physical stress.  I must be having lots of stress now !!!! haha
