ROSE QUARTZ

Enhancing Adornments has created this Rose Quartz Pendant in honour of those suffering with dementia.  We chose Rose Quartz as it is beneficial to both the caregivers as well as those suffering from this disease.  

Rose quartz is the stone of love - love for others AND love for self. It 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.

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

Rose quartz as suggested by its name is a member of the Quartz family and has a hardness of 7. The colour is usually muted but occasionally can be found as a vivid pink. Rose quartz is generally not treated.

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.

BALTIC AMBER

Baltic Amber is a fossilized tree resin but it is used as any other crystal or stone in jewellery. 

When amber is worn against the skin, the nugget or bead is warmed and releases small amounts of healing oils (succinic acid). The oils are absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream and boost the immune system, reduce inflammation and are an analgesic used for pain. Baltic Amber also assists with varicose vein and increases blood circulation. 

It is well known for its healing energies and has been worn by children for their protection since ancient times.  Baltic Amber is ideal for teething toddlers.

Baltic Amber is also associated with desire, sensuality and romantic tenderness.  Do you have an anniversary coming up?

Amber is associated with the second Chakra but is used to cleansing all chakras.
