LOVE SIMPLY IS

What do you do when you find something shaped like a heart? Create a loving pendant of course.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

HOPE

Without hope, what do we have?  Hope is what pushes us on. 

Today’s creation focuses on hope, and we have incorporated Aquamarine into this piece as it is the stone of hope.  The base of the pendant was forged from a silver spoon.

Aquamarine is from the Beryl family.  Aquamarine comes by its lovely greeny or sea blue colour from iron impurities in the colourless, glassy beryl crystal. It has a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale.  

Aquamarine brings us hope and helps us to experience peace.  It helps us to calmly speak our truth and to have courage.  Another keyword for Aquamarine is courage. 

Aquamarine can help us move forward with positive changes in life by releasing events of the past.

Aquamarine is associated with the Throat Chakra.

September birthstone – AGATE

September has several birthstones including agate, moonstone, peridot, sapphire, sardonyx and zircon.  Today we are highlighting Agate.  A side note, Agate is also the sunstone/birthstone of Gemini.

Agate is a banded stone which makes it stand out from any other Chalcedony. It has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale.  There are so many different types of Agate we could not begin to list them all.  Today’s highlighted Tree of Life, blends a couple varieties of Agate.

Agate is a slow and lower vibrational stone.  Sure but steady, its energetic effects will take time to manifest but will have wonderful long term benefits.

It is said that Agate balances, strengthens, sooths and calms which in turn helps us to heal emotionally.  It is known as a protective and harmonizing stone which relieves anxiety and stress.  Agate’s energy is also said to strengthen the body as well as to helps us with our connection to the earth (grounding). 

Emotionally, agate gives courage, self-confidence, and helps to dispels fears.

It is a beneficial stone for students and artists as it promotes creativity.

All agates can remove blockages from all chakras and are cleansing.

SYMBOLIC BRIDAL BRACELET

A marriage is a transformation in many ways.  It is a union of two parts divisible yet one.  It is a fusion of the old transforming into a single new way of life.  Our highlights piece today is very symbolic.  We have transformed a lovely silver fork into a wearable symbol of marriage.

The tines of the fork have been forged and transformed into a heart, the universal symbol of love. 

The handle of the fork is a rose, unchanged from its origin and another symbol of love.  The handle is one yet divides and comes back together symbolizing the unity of the two but not the loss of the individual parts that make the whole.

We have added pearls the stone of choice for brides due to their association with partnerships and love.

Silver is the metal of emotions and is associated with the Moon also known for its connection to our emotions.  As with the Moon, Silver reflects the light.  It is the mirror to the soul.  It is said that Silver also acts as a shield reflecting negative emotions away from the wearer.
