PEARL, MOTHER OF PEARL & CRYSTAL BRACELET

We are highlighting an up-cycled or repurposed bracelet made from a fork handle.  Lovely designed handles can be adorned with any type of bead depending on your preferences.  All of our jewellery is commissioned and you have as much input into the style of your creation of you would like.

Today’s creation has been adorned with a centre piece of Mother of Pearl and offset with pearl and crystals.  Mother of Pearl is the inner layer (nacre) of the shell of some oysters, mussels and abalones whereas a pearl is a growth formed within the shell of a pearl oyster or other types of mollusk.

Mother of Pearl is an aid to heighten intuition, psychic sensitivity, and imagination.  It attracts prosperity and good fortune.

Pearls have been traditionally used to assist with sex drive. Pearls enable us to accept love and to see the good within us and within others. Pearls are the jewellery of choice for brides due to their association with partnerships and love.

Crystals are created by various companies such as Swarovski in Austria.  The lead oxide gives these crystals their pure, clear transparency.  These faceted crystals have the energies of glass which brings positive energy, hope, joy and good luck.  Because of the prism effects, it is believed that these crystals draw in the positive and reflect out the negative.  Crystals carry energies of transformation and rebirth.

What a perfect bracelet for a bride.  The stones enhance positive energies for a bride and provide something new and the handles offer up something old.

FINGERS CROSSED PENDANT

Keep your fingers crossed, cross your fingers, here’s to hoping……..Each has a meaning of hope, of wishing.

(Did you know that in early Christianity, you would cross your fingers to invoke the protection of the cross and in pre-Christianity crossing of fingers was used as a way to ward off evil or bad luck when there was a threat.)

We have added a chevron Amethyst to complete this talisman of hope.  Amethyst is used as a talisman of focus, success, courage and wealth.

Metaphysically Amethyst is a stone associated with sincerity and purity.  It is said to offer protection.

There are many higher properties of Amethyst but today we are focusing on luck so keep your fingers crossed.
