Amazonite

It's been a good while since I've posted to The Other Side of Me. Many of you know that I have a side handcrafted jewelry business. Where I mainly USED sterling silver, chain and wire with swarovski crystals.

I'm excited to leave the sterling silver behind. Now I'm using vintaj antique brass findings and wire. I've always been in love with crystals and stones, so I'm taking my jewelry designs to the metaphysical. The other side of me. :)

When I go shopping for stones, I'm always curious what are their Healing and Attributes definitions. It amazes me how they resonate with my energy. The photos I'm going to post is a necklace where I used the stone - Amazonite.

The Crystal Bible written by Judy Hall defines this stone as:
"Heals and opens the heart and throat chakras to enhance loving communication. It also opens the third eye and intuition. The stone dissipates negative energy and blockages within the nervous system.
Attributes - Extremely soothing stone. It calms the brain and nervous system and aligns the physical body with the etheric, maintaining optimum health.
Spiritually, an elixir of Amazonite is extremely beneficial to all levels of consciousness. The stone itself assists in manifesting universal love.



I wire wrapped the stone and added a chain drop with rose quartz, amethyst chip, along with a few swarovski crystals dangling from the chain. This piece is $40.00. All the photos are of the same piece.



The length of this necklace is 16" and extends to 18 1/2".



The length of the stone is 1 1/4" and the width is about 5/8".





You could also wear it from the backside. I love this finding. I also used the finding to make the earrings that match. They cost $15.00



I will be posting more of my jewelry designs on this blog and defining the meaning of the stones that I used. I hope you enjoy. I would appreciate your feedback.
