ROSE QUARTZ AND GARNET - MOTHER'S DAY

Remaining with our focus on Mother’s Day, we have created this pendant which incorporates a heart shaped outline which includes “Love”.  The stone of choice is Rose quartz as it is the universal stone representing love…both love for others and love for self.  Most times Mom’s put the needs of others ahead of their own needs.  Self-love is an important lesson for most Mothers.  Rose Quartz is a crystal of high energy and unconditional love for any situation. 

Rose quartz is used for self-esteem and self-worth. Its loving energies teach us to apply this love to ourselves. This in turn assists us with our own self-worth.

Rose quartz is calming and perfect for crisis. It helps us to learn to accept change and to deal with unexpressed emotions and grief……all part of a day in the life of a Mother.

Rose quartz is beneficiary for the female reproductions system and has been worn to assist fertility.

Rose quartz is associated with the heart or 4th chakra.

We have enhanced this Rose Quartz Pendant with a heart shaped Garnet stone which also is a symbol of love.  The energies of Garnet amply the energies of any other stone that is accompanies and in this case the loving energies of Rose Quartz.

As suggested by its name, Rose Quartz is a member of the Quartz family and has a hardness of 7. The colour is usually muted but occasionally can be found a vivid pink. Rose quartz is generally not treated. Garnet has a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5 and has been used in jewellery since the Bronze Age which was in the third millennium BC.

ROSE QUARTZ IN HONOUR OF CAREGIVERS

& THOSE THAT SUFFER WITH DEMENTIA

Face Shapes and Earring Syles

I came across this article by Louise McClure for Fire Mountain Gems and Beads that I thought was worth the share.

"Can an earring's style enhance my features? Which style earring is best for me? .........

.......The best starting point is to determine your face shape. Is yours round, square, oval or heart-shaped? Once you determine your face shape, explore the style best suited for you.

There are three basic earring styles designers depart from--linear, chandelier and hoop. Each of the three earring styles can accentuate and enhance your features, and also balance areas you wish to downplay. For example, as with clothing, vertical lines in earring styles will draw the eye upwards and visually elongate features. Horizontal lines will draw the eye from side to side and accent the width of your face.

Face Shapes and Earring Styles

Round Face: Vertical lines of elongated, linear, drop-style and narrow chandelier earrings will add height and provide an overall slimming effect for your face, emphasizing vertical lines.

Square Face: Round contours of hoops, long teardrops and long, narrow chandelier earrings will visually soften the edges of a square face while adding visual height.

Oval Face: Hoops in circles, triangles and ovals as well as teardrops and chandeliers enhance an oval face.

Heart-Shaped Face: Horizontal lines of hoops, teardrop-shaped linear forms and chandeliers that are wider at the bottom than the top will add width to your face and soften the effects of a pointed chin."

I hope you picked up some helpful tips.
