"Celtic Malachite"
(Earrings) Price: $25.00 SOLD
Antique bronze combined with the pure Malachite stone and black glass beads creates and earthy ancient vibe in this pair of earrings.
"Celtic Silver"
(Earrings) Price: $15.00 SOLD
(Earrings) Price: $15.00 SOLD
On the lighter side, plum coloured Fluorite and teal dyed Freshwater Pearl make a pretty balance to the more delicate silver Celtic knotwork.
"Soft Blue"
(Earrings) Price: $20.00 SOLD
In reality, these handmade lamp-work blue and copper glass beads are slightly more sky blue than seen here. Since they came to me second hand, I can't be sure if they are Italian or Czech in origin. But they are quite spectacular in the 'flesh' so to speak.
"Fluorite Natural Trio #1"
Fluorite comes in a range of beautiful colours from the palest, clearest cool green, ranges through almost blue greens and into pinks, purples, and plum. Some are cloudy, some are glass clear, some contain fractures and flaws. And they are some of the prettiest stones in the semi-precious collective. My Grandma Plumridge taught me a bit about lapidary work and basic jewelry making at around the same time she taught me how to paint in oils. Among the stones we worked with were amethysts and Fluorite. I remember claiming a large, irregular polished cabochon piece of vari-coloured Fluorite and turned it into a pendant with a large silver bellcap and long chain. Very 1970s. So, I love Fluorite and it has appeared, and will continue to appear in some of the things I make. It brings clarity and healing on many levels according to gemstone connoisseurs.
