Glamorous Golden Cleopatra Earrings

For my next earrings, I used hammered circular discs that are gold plated and just a bit over .5 inch in diameter. The earrings dangle 1.75 inches long from your earlobes in french hooks.

Jewelry was very popular in ancient Egypt and Cleopatra wore earrings, bracelets, anklets, rings and headdresses much to her advantage. These remind me of the beauty put forth by her.

Wear these earrings and you may possess the sophistication and powerfulness of her character:) SOLD! YAY!

Gorgeous Dangle Earrings of Fire

Super happy with the outcome of these earrings.

These wire wrapped fiery earrings are 3.5 inches long. The beads are made of red and clear glass infused with gold and silver foil that glitter in the light. Three chains end the piece giving the earrings the capacity of motion.

I took these photos thinking that the red was a true red but once the sunlight hit the bead, it was a different story. The color changed giving these earrings even more depth along with the movement of the swinging chains.

These french wire earrings can be worn dressed up with a dress or dressed down with your favorite jeans. I hope you love them as much as I do! There will be more to come as I am working on my next earrings!

Metal Free Chinese Jade Stone Dragon Necklace

I am born in the year of the dragon and in Chinese culture this divine mythical creature is a symbol that stands for happiness, immortality, procreation, fertility and activity. Dragons also ward off wandering evil spirits, protect the innocent and bestow safety to all that hold his emblem.

Year of the Dragon - personality traits: The Dragon person is self confident and impulsive and consequently does not always listen to the advice of others. He is also a perfectionist and he sets high standards for himself. Although strong and decisive the Dragon is not manipulative or sly. He refuses to deceive or compromise and fails to spot subversive intent. He enjoys being in command and like an emperor holding court he eliminates obstacles until success is his.

This necklace is 17-19 inches(adjustable length) in length with the pendant.

Metal Free Knotted Pink Granite Beads With Black Wooden Etched Art Pendant

Do you have a metal allergy? I remember having metal allergies growing up so I made this beautiful necklace that is METAL FREE. The lovely smooth pink granite beads are knotted onto soft black cotton thread. The pendant is made of wood and painted black with etchings of a garden setting.

"In Chinese Metaphysics, Red symbolized the Fire element (shiny element which can chase out all evil). Golden color or sometimes it can resemble a Yellow color, symbolized the Earth element which is the storage money element (wealth) in Four Pillars of Destiny." - http://hubpages.com/hub/The-significance-of-the-colors-red--gold-in-Chinese-culture

The Chinese jade pendant has the characters "Ping An" which means safe, calm and peaceful. (Close translation)

Jade stone symbolizes nobility, perfection, constancy, and immortality in the Chinese culture.
