"Lauren" Earrings
When I finished these earrings, I said, "They are very Lauren!" So, I named them after her (and hope she feels the same!).
Faceted turquoise, lovely cut natural garnet, and silver-line chocolate Delica® seed beads compose these simple, yet dramatic, earrings. Turquoise is a powerful healing stone that can help wearers with meditation, balance, and communication. It is associated with Taurus and Aquarius. Turquoise is a protective stone that enhances love, friendship, and loyalty. Garnet is also a stone associated with healing and health and is believed to increase creative powers and encourage action. It has been known as a stone of devotion and stimulates the base and crown Chakras, which helps energy flow positively. Garnet is associated with Scorpio and Aquarius.
"Apolloneia" Earrings
These earrings make me think of the warmth of the sun. So, I named them Apolloneia, which is a female variant of the Greek god Apollo's name. Apollo is the god of the sun, music, poetry, and light and knowledge among other things.
Wood beads from Indonesia, natural white coral, and gold textured wavy discs on top of ornate headpins compose these elegant earrings. The wood beads, from Indonesia, are handcrafted, which means that each one is slightly different, but they all have a starry night-like patten. Coral is known for its ability to bring internal peace, settle emotions, and aids intuition, visualization, and the circulatory and nervous systems. Coral is associated with the sun sign Libra.
