My Funny Valentine: Jewelry Motifs
January 25, 2011
And here we are already, in the last week of the 1st month of the New Year (can you follow…) with just a few weeks to go before Valentines Day… I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day, but not for all the sentimental sappy “romance” of it, but more so because I truly enjoy the process of doing little things for other people, even if it’s as simple as making a pretty sparkly card, writing a sweet little note or in my case this year, honing in on the handmade jewelry aspect of it. Valentines Day offers me the opportunity to explore the idea of Jewelry Motifs! While motifs can be found throughout a wide variety of jewelry lines , they also resonate in architecture, art, music and fashion. But MY most sought after items this upcoming "holiday" are going to embrace a little heartfelt Jewelry Motif I would like to call…
My Funny Valentine! Adding this motif to your jewelry collection or even just to your jewelry radar this coming month can spruce up an everyday look and overall just create a bit of a fabulousity for you to bask in… Even if Valentine’s Day is technically a tried and true "Hallmark Holiday", how can anyone be against the celebration of love?

Rocks and Minerals and Druzy's... Oh My!

Rough stones, geodes, fossils, gemstones, boulders, crystals, agate… this list goes on! While the jewelry classics simply never die I am taking to the idea that with a new year should come some new jewelry… something fashion-forward… So why not get inspired on your next jewelry shopping endeavor and go for something a little off the radar? I am talking about a Druzy! These unique and seemingly star dust encrusted gemstones provide more than just their amazing aesthetic appeal! Here is just a little bitty about these beauties and the benefits the wearer may possess from the power of their Druzy gemstone:
Druzy occurs as thousands of tiny shimmering crystal points blanket the surface of a gemstone. This appearance of star dust creates a magical stunning effect. The Druzy is often referred to as the Flame Aura. It attracts and enhances the attributes of the gemstone that is its host or that it is paired with. A Druzy may be fashioned out almost any and all gemstones-
- Amplifies the intensity of the stones it inhabits
- Supplies strength and energy
- Encourages clarity of mind
- In meditation it stimulates the movement of the Kundalini to the crown chakra
- Druzy is used for balancing all chakras
And with that said, with a new year should come some new jewelry; something fashion-forward… So why not get inspired and get a Druzy! Namaste
