Druzy Pendant Necklace, Fire Agate Red Garnet Earthy Handmade Jewelry

The EARTH SONG handmade necklace features a glittering druzy pendant, faceted brown fire agate and red garnet - unique gemstone jewelry for women.

Even though the photos don’t show it, the one of a kind EARTH SONG handmade necklace is filled to the brim with eye-catching sparkle, something surely to sing about. The earthy necklace features an exquisitely glittering druzy agate pendant. Faceted brown fire agate, red garnet and sterling silver complement the druzy pendant perfectly. What is druzy? Druzy (or druse) refers to a coating of fine crystals over the surface of a rock cavity, usually within a geode or something similar. The druzy agate gemstone pendant is teardrop shaped and has a cavity running up the right side. The face of the pendant is absolutely covered in breathtaking, off-white crystals, looking as if someone sprinkled a thick layer of fine sugar crystals on it. And do the crystals sparkle and sparkle and then sparkle some more, shifting as the angle of light changes. The back of the pendant is smooth with the lovely natural pattern of the agate mother rock.  Adding glamor to the design and highlighting the pendant perfectly are faceted fire agate rounds and red garnet heishe along with sterling silver. A type of banded chalcedony that is famous for its intricate patterns, the colors of the fire agate range from black to root beer brown to pale beige.  Many of the stones are translucent and seem to capture the light.  In between each grouping of agates are three hand cut red garnet heishe. They are separated from the agate by small sterling beads.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the EARTH SONG gemstone necklace was created for the woman who is amazed at the unexpected treasures that can be found in the Earth and who adores wearing one of a kind, artisan jewelry.

The one of a kind EARTH SONG gemstone necklace has such an earthy feel to it!

Lotus Bud Necklace, Vintage Thai Silver Pearls Garnet Handmade Jewelry

The LOTUS BUD handmade necklace features a vintage Thai silver lotus bud amulet, peacock Keshi pearls and red garnet - unique yoga jewelry for women.

Filled with a hefty dose of sublime beauty, the LOTUS BUD handmade necklace is a perfect gift for the woman who practices yoga, meditates or just loves one of a kind jewelry. The meaningful necklace features a vintage Thai silver lotus bud pendant along with rainbow Keshi pearls, red garnet and sterling silver. The beautiful vintage amulet pendant, which is at least 40 years old, was crafted from fine silver by an artisan in Thailand. The raised design is of a lotus bud in an urn along with draping leaves, probably banana leaves. A rope design runs along the edge of the pendant. In Thailand, the lotus is a sacred flower and is a symbol of purity, faithfulness and spiritual awakening.  To perfectly complement the pendant, exquisite Keshi pearls and red garnet were used. Keshi pearls are natural, non-nucleated pearls and are normally found with an irregular shape. The Keshi pearls used in the necklace are absolutely stunning with their glowing peacock coloration of mainly shades of purples, greens, burgundy, and bronzes, often shifting color as the angle of the light changes. Except for the very beginning of the necklace on either side of the lotus bud amulet, the pearls are in groups of three. Between each Keshi pearl grouping is a group of natural garnet heishe in a rich dark red color. The heishe is hand cut so each piece is similar in size but not exactly the same. Small sterling silver beads separate the pearls from the garnet, adding bits of silver sheen to the necklace design. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind LOTUS BUD necklace was created for the woman who loves meaningful, artisan designed jewelry.
