Semi-Precious Jewelry



Chalcedony Bracelet I created.

Recently I started making semi-precious gemstone jewelry to offer in my shop! YAY! I have really enjoyed creating works of jewelry art to be able to offer. It is a therapeutic venture so to speak. When I am working on these creations, I have to focus on what I am doing. My mind tends to wonder a lot, even as a child every question started with “I wonder…”.  That little phrase still follows me today! When making my jewelry, I really only like to use natural stones and crystals and not glass or plastic. I don’t have any thing against those that do, but I want to offer the metaphysical side of jewelry. Healing jewelry is used for several different reasons.  One is to aid the wearer in whatever it is that they need aid in. It serves as a reminder to them also. Plus, it looks purty! So if someone was feeling unhappy, they could wear some amber. Amethyst would be great for someone who has a high stress job since it calms. So to wrap it up (pun intended! *giggles*) - What kind of stones do you like as jewelry and why?
