September Bracelet: Orange Jade, Textured Silver Rounds, and Antiqued Copper Globe
Another new bracelet....
This bracelet reminds me of the month of September with its harvest color palette, but I'm sure it would look lovely from the lazy days of summer to the frost-bitten days of winter.
Six textured silver rounds, chunky and organic, compliment the rich antiqued copper tone globe and light pumpkin-orange carved jade beads. Two heavily plated and faceted silver beads frame the antiqued copper globe with floral detail. Near the toggle bar, a tiny white shell bead adds interest to the design.
Perhaps the most interesting detail about this bracelet is the carved jade beads. I've consulted and some say they look like little pigs, and it so happens that in some cultures, pigs are lucky! Both the Chinese and Irish consider the pig to be a symbol of luck, and the Chinese believe they bring luck and success to businesses (see source). So, let this bracelet bring a little luck into your life!

Treasury Item! Green Empress Bracelet: Green Cinnabar, Natural Seeds, Coral, and Pyrite
Lately, I've been in love with making bracelets.
The Green Empress Bracelet draws on the Empress collection's aim to make the wearer of each piece feel beautiful, creative, and courageous (read about the first one here and the second one here). I love how the natural materials in this bracelet come together to create a distinct and elegant piece.
This one-of-a-kind bracelet features six green cinnabar beads, which are carved with an Asian design, three natural seeds, which have been coated to protect their striking beauty, a large white coral globe, and three pyrite rondelles I've polished to a nice luminosity. Two TierraCast Turkish-style gold rondelles frame the largest of the seeds, which is a lovely shade of golden mustard. There are other hints of gold in this bracelet including the three textured brass discs nestled between the coral globe and chunky seed.
For those who enjoy stone lore, Pyrite, also known as Fool's Gold, is grounding, encourages positivity and the release of old emotional baggage. It is also a protective and enhances one's "intelligence, mental stability, logic, analysis, creativity, memory, and psychic development" (source here). Pyrite is associated with the sun signs Gemini and Virgo. Coral is known for its ability to bring internal peace, settle emotions, and aids intuition, visualization, and the circulatory and nervous systems (source here). Coral is associated with the sun sign Libra.
This bracelet is 8 1/4" long and will fit up to a 6 1/2" wrist (6 3/4" is a tight squeeze) . Please note that the coral is white with a spongey surface. If dirt gets into the crevices of the coral globe, you can clean the globe by gently blotting with water and very mild soap (if necessary).
Buy this bracelet here on Etsy!

Coming Soon...
While I wait on a few more materials to arrive for my high-end collection, I've been working on a necklace featuring white magnesite, blue turquoise, amber, and pyrite along with a bracelet featuring green cinnabar, mustard colored natural seeds, and white coral.
I'm really excited about these pieces. The bracelet is right-on for fall, which is only a few months away, and the colors and design will make this piece one-of-a-kind and a piece one can wear for seasons and years to come. The necklace has a southwest feel with a bit of an edge--I'm saving further details until it's complete.
I'm also designing a few silver-toned earrings that will most likely feature chunky, organic-looking silver pieces and dramatic rustic silver drops. These earrings will be substantial and statement-making (I may have to make a copy for myself!).
More than one of these pieces should be ready and posted here and on Etsy by the end of this week... I'm looking forward to completing them and their subsequent unveiling!
Update 8/7/11: See the fall colors bracelet and the chunky earrings that evolved into another bracelet here and here. I'll finish and re-envision the other items this week!
