There earrings are custom made for my best friend, Rachel...
These earrings, named for Tori Amos's 1994 album "Under the Pink," feature moonstone, rose quartz, magnesite, sterling silver and sterling silver enameled wire, and platinum plated earwires.
Stone properties:
Associated with the heart chakra and the signs Aries, Taurus, Virgo, and
Libra, rose quartz is a stone of "unconditional love." It encourages
all forms of love including self-love, self-confidence, and romantic
love. It also brings forgiveness and gentleness, tolerance and
acceptance, and increased receptivity to colors, sounds, art, music, and
poetry. Rose quartz helps boost creativity and is calming, reducing
stress, clears anger, resentment, guilt, fear, and jealously. It is
truly an amazing stone!
Magnesite has the same crystal structure as calcite, which is similar in texture and hardness to marble and turquoise. In gem lore, magnesite is known for its ability to calm, bring emotional balance, open wearers up to "higher realms and states of consciousness," and get them in touch with themselves beyond veils of perceptions. It is also believed to clear blockages and hang-ups over the past and open the third eye and crown chakras, which bolsters psychic abilities and promotes bliss (source).
Moonstone is known for its ability to calm, relive stress, encourage inner growth, intuition, success, and good fortune in both love and business endeavors. It is also June's birthstone and associated with the astrological signs Cancer, Libra, and Scorpio.

Alexandros: Custom Piece for Gene
When Gene asked me to create a masculine bracelet with a rainbow colored beads, I knew the design process would be challenging and rewarding. I've never made a man's bracelet before and I had to think of a rainbow-based design that wasn't evocative of Skittles--I needed to create an understated and handsome, pride bracelet. So, I'm happy to present, Alexandros.
I had a lot of fun designing and making this bracelet. The highlights of the bracelet are the leather cording and handmade ceramic beads--both are made by Mykonos in Mykonos, Greece. The company has long been known for the quality of its ceramic beads and leather products.
The bracelet has earth-toned and bright toned beads in every color of the rainbow framed by five gunmetal black beads on each side. The two beads near the clasp are special additions to the bracelet: one lovely brown reminds me of my client, Gene, (his hair and warm personality) and the other bead is deep brown, almost black, the color of rich soil that symbolizes the loyalty, respect, and nurturing we all need to get along in the world. I know that may seem like a lot for one bead to symbolize, but I think it compliments the pride the rainbow beads convey.
The clasp is a bead I've had since my Albuquerque days. It's a brass colored bead with some patina on it already. I believe it is a metalized ceramic bead, and the design is reminiscent of Celtic, Turkish, or North African designs. I only bought four of these beads, so it's a very special addition to this custom bracelet.
Thank you again for the challenge, Gene!
