Dragonfly Follow Your Dream Necklace, Bronze Amethyst Handmade Jewelry


dragonfly follow your dream necklace

The meaningful "Follow Your Dream" necklace features an artisan bronze, two sided dragonfly pendant, chevron amethyst and Swarovski crystals - unique jewelry for women.


The exquisite FOLLOW YOUR DREAM inspirational dragonfly pendant necklace is a perfect gift for the woman who loves dragonflies and is striving to reach her life goals. The handmade beauty features an artisan two-sided dragonfly pendant in gold bronze, faceted chevron amethyst gemstones, Swarovski crystals and copper. The amazing dragonfly pendant was artisan designed and hand cast from bronze with a shimmering gold sheen. Giving the pendant gorgeous 3-dimensional texture, the dragonfly is raised against an oval background with a cut out middle. Just look at the incredible detail of the wings and the body as the dragonfly sinuously turns in flight to the right! The back of the pendant is inscribed with “Follow Your Dream.” Sparkling faceted chevron amethyst rounds and Swarovski crystals complement the dragonfly pendant perfectly. Chevron amethyst (sometimes called banded amethyst) is a combination of purple amethyst and white quartz.  The mix of minerals sometimes makes a striped or v-banded pattern with colors ranging from dark purple through lavender, beige and white. Since the amethyst used in the necklaces is faceted, it sparkles at every movement. The beautiful gemstones are in groups of three separated by small copper beads and mega sparkle Swarovski crystal bicones. The color of the Swarovski crystals is called “amethyst blend” where a darker purple fades and blends with a light amethyst color, each crystal being a bit different in the gradient of colors.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FOLLOW YOUR DREAM necklace is a meaningful jewelry gift for the woman who is transforming her life and loves to wear one of a kind designer jewelry.

Dragonfly Leather Beaded Boho Necklace
- Woodland Statement Jewelry -

https://www.etsy.com/prettygonzo/listing/551255684/dragonfly-necklace-leather-beaded?ref=shop_home_active_24&frs=1

This boho statement necklace features a bold green dragonfly pendant, Mykonos ceramic beads, carnelian gemstone rounds, and shiny pewter beads. The pendant was beautifully made in the USA by a polymer-clay artisan, and depicts a stamped dragonfly with its wings outstretched against a radiant circle of sunlight. It is a genuine eye-catcher and highly positive symbol.

The pendant is combined with the following to create a one-of-a-kind boho tribal piece with woodland suggestions:
• Pewter round beads with sun symbol
• Forest green and lime green Mykonos ceramic beads (made in Greece)
• Rich carnelian round beads
• Pewter daisy spacer beads
• Pewter knobbed rondelle spacers
• Sterling silver jump ring
• Stainless steel lobster clasp
• Three-inch extender chain
• Genuine brown leather (made in the USA)
• Pewter cord ends

All of these elements were chosen to enhance the pendant and bring color and balance to the entire piece. The necklace's basic length is approximately 24 inches, with 3 inches more added by the extender chain.

Bright and bold, with bohemian styling and an inspirational dragonfly pendant, this special OOAK piece was handmade beaded by me with great care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer. It comes tucked into an eco-friendly box and wrapped for giving. It would make a perfect gift for anyone who loves dragonflies and would appreciate its positive meaning and encouragement toward self-growth. Perhaps that someone is you!

About the Dragonfly Symbol
Dragonflies symbolize the discovery of the self and self-identity and the development of insight into the truth beyond distracting illusions. Because of their relatively brief life as adult insects, dragonflies also evoke the ancient Roman motto "Carpe diem" ("Seize the day"). As symbols, these beautiful creatures inspire us to live life as fully as possible and to realize that personal growth is an important part of our lives.

About Carnelian
Lovely warm carnelian belongs to the quartz family and is a type of chalcedony. A rich and regal-looking gemstone, it has been used for jewelry since ancient times. Traditional beliefs associate it with healing, courage building, fear dispelling, and protection against negative forces (as a talisman). It is also believed to focus energy and sharpen mental clarity in preparation for action.
