About Celtic Knots
There are several variations of the Celtic knot, but all share the perceivable absence of a beginning or an ending to their interlacing line: they are endless knots. Also known as mystic knots, they may represent eternity and timelessness, and thus have a spiritual dimension. The knot in this gemstone necklace has four quadrants, which may symbolize the four seasons in nature or simply the ongoing cyclical quality of nature. Some consider Celtic knots protective of current good fortune; others see them as symbols of the integration of the self.

About Jasper & Carnelian
Jasper belongs to the chalcedony family of minerals and is a type of quartz. It is traditionally regarded as a protective stone that nurtures vitality. Stability, tranquility, and healing are all commonly associated with jasper. Lovely warm carnelian 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).

Turtle Earrings, Ivory Blue Zircon Crystals Handmade Jewelry Gift

The "Tortugas" handmade earrings were created with Czech glass turtle beads, Czech crystal rondelles and sparkling Swarovski crystals - jewelry for women.

The TORTUGAS earrings are perfect for the woman who has an abiding love for turtles or who adores anything having to do with the life aquatic. The artisan handmade dangle earrings feature ivory Czech glass turtles with an earthy Picasso finish of light amber, rust brown and a bit of light red for an aged look. The Picasso finish also highlights each scute (section of shell) perfectly. The backside of the turtles are flat with a Picasso finish, and as you can see in photo #5, the back of one turtle is much redder than the other. The slight luster of the turtle beads is like an eggshell finish. Since Czech glass beads are made in very small batches as a cottage industry, no two turtle beads will ever be exactly the same.

The Czech glass turtle beads started out with a base of pressed ivory glass with a Picasso finish added to give an aged look.

Adding great sparkle to the one of a kind earring design, two types of crystals were used. Capping the head of each turtle are copper rondelles set with glittering clear Czech crystals. Adding an aquatic feel to the earrings, a faceted Swarovski crystal bicones in a rich Caribbean aqua were nestled into the top of each rondelle. The color is called “blue zircon” and adds a lovely pop of color to the overall design. Just imagine the eye catching sparkle every time you move your head! Finishing the unique earrings, everything as carefully wire wrapped on copper headpins and attached to sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents. The TORTUGAS earrings were carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs. “Tortugas” is Spanish for “turtles.”

"Purr-fect" for the cat lover of most any age.

The price includes USPS first class shipping.

Please read my policies for more information.

This is how lampwork beads are made:

To create glass beads, lampworkers melt narrow rods of glass with the flame of a torch. The molten glass is wound around a mandrel, a thin length of stainless steel. The space occupied by the mandrel becomes a hole through the bead when the bed is slipped away. Turning the mandrel and holding it in different positions allows gravity to help the bead take form, but tools are also used to push and pull glass beads into shape.

Lampworking is a skill that takes a great deal of practice and patience. A lampwork bead artist understands the glass and the torch, and must learn how much heat it takes for glass to flow, how much heat can be applied to a bead that's already shaped before it becomes molten again and loses shape, when to add decorative elements and how different colors of glass interact with each other.

PamelaBaker-My Creative Self

Pamela Baker on MagdaleneJewels.etsy.com. & MagdaleneKnits.etsy.com

I took this excerpt from my ABOUT page:  My Creativity and Me!
I have always loved doing something creative, whether knitting, crocheting, embroidering, quilting, painting, and for the past few years designing my own jewelry,  all of which I have taught myself.
The many Necklaces, Bracelets, and Earrings in my Shop were all created and designed by myself, which I continually find with changing styles in a continual learning process.

All my Hand Crocheted & Knitted items, most of which are Custom made items; have evolved into my own creations, as customers ask for special additions here and there, or ask if I can make something special. I have had people ask if they can purchase my Patterns, which I usually decline stating, “most items are unique to my Shop” - nor could they read them with all my rewrites.

I guess my creative process evolves from my own personality - which one might term per my vivid imagination.  In my Jewelry shop, I will often see a beautiful color Crystal, which in the light reflects so many possibilities, from there my Creativity begins.  As one can see from my work in both my Shop’s, I am truly a romantic and love the feminine aspect of my being!

Cat Necklace, Orange Kitty Agate Turquoise Handmade Jewelry Gift Women

The "Wise Kitty" handmade necklace features an artisan cat pendant, agate, turquoise and copper - unique jewelry for women.

The one of a kind, artisan created cat pendant used as the focal of the WISE KITTY handmade necklace is such a cheerful representation of a thoughtful-looking, lovable tabby cat you have to smile when you look at it! Two shapes of natural agate gemstones, genuine turquoise heishe and glowing copper all come together to perfectly highlight the unique cat pendant. The rounded, somewhat triangular-shaped pendant is lightweight but durable, created with a base of white polymer clay. A flowing, stylistic cat design was hand carved into the clay which was then painted in cayenne red ochre and turquoise acrylic glazes with several dashes of gold ochre. For a soft sheen, a thin coat of crystal fixative was applied. The back is also painted with the pigments and features the artist’s mark, a raised spiraling “P.” A copper grommet was added at the top for easy connection to the main body of a necklace.

Two shapes of natural agate and beautiful turquoise heishe complement the artisan cat pendant perfectly.

Natural agate and real turquoise complement the kitty cat pendant beautifully. Two shapes of agate is used: a rounded rectangular shape and hand cut cubes. The colors of the agates range from almost clear to deep orange, some translucent and some opaque - often both on the same gemstone. Both have a high gloss finish that catches and reflects the light. Since the agate cubes were hand cut, they are a bit more rustic in feel, not all exactly the same shape and size, although very similar. Rich turquoise heishe separates each grouping of agate, adding pops of lovely blue/green color to the necklace design. Small copper beads separate each gemstone, adding their own gorgeous glow. A copper toggle clasp set finishes the necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the WISE KITTY handmade necklace was created for the woman who adores unique artisan jewelry and adores cats.

*** Please note: Since this necklace is part of my dog / cat rescue jewelry line, when sold one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the WISE KITTY necklace will be donated to an animal rescue group to care for the four footed souls waiting for their furever home.

Celtic Triple Spiral Boho Statement Necklace

- Pewter Triskele, Leather Beaded Cord -

This Celtic leather necklace offers unique boho styling that features a bold triskele pendant, lovely carnelian gemstones, green aventurine rondelles, Mykonos Greek ceramic beads, and decorative pewter spacer beads. The triskele is an ancient triple-spiral symbol, and associated with the triple goddess and eternity. Here the symbol becomes an eye-catching statement in a lead-free pewter focal.

To adorn the triskele, I used earthy green beads, brown leather cording, and rich orange-red carnelian. These choices are a small tribute to Ireland, whose beautiful fields and woods were on my mind when designing this piece. The carnelian beads are warmly inviting. They lend a color complement to the green shades of the aventurine rondelles, which are a pale delicate color, and the Greek ceramic beads, which bring a deep forest green and bright lime to the necklace. The pewter spacers contribute glints of metallic shine. Included on the necklace strand are pairs of "eye beads," which have been considered a talisman against the "evil eye" since ancient times.

The genuine leather cord is rounded and was made in the USA. A stainless steel chain acts as an extender, adding two inches to the necklace's basic length of 29.5 inches. For a colorful touch, I attached a deerskin leather tassel to the chain's last link and beaded it.

With its triple-spiral triskele pendant, Ireland-inspired colors, and shiny pewter beads, this Celtic statement necklace would make a meaningful addition to any jewelry collection. It's a unique piece of Bohemian styling that was handmade by me with care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer. It comes wrapped in an eco-friendly box, all set for gifting to someone who loves symbolic, statement-making jewelry. Perhaps that someone will be you!

About the Triskele
This is a triple spiral symbol that dates back to pre-Celtic times and is most often associated with Ireland. Triskeles and other spirals are carved into the ornately decorated curbstone at Newgrange, one of the outstanding neolithic passage graves in Ireland's Boyne Valley, dating back to 2500–3200 B.C. It was adopted as a symbol of the Holy Trinity and eternity by Irish Celtic Christians. In contemporary paganism, the triskele often represents the land, sky, and sea. The triple goddess can also be symbolized by the triple spiral. Alternately known as the triskelion, it is an ancient symbol of Sicility as well, and was used in ancient Greek pottery as a heraldic motif on the shields of warriors.

About Carnelian 
A rich and regal-looking gemstone, carnelian 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).
