INSPIRE~Tiger Eye Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings


With these earrings come an inspiring infatuation with the Tiger Eye looking deep with in the eyes as they glow and sparkle in the lighting and capture a glimpse of the glow in the evening lights...

I used two very beautiful tiger eyes for this pair of earrings measuring 8mmX10mmX4.5mm...As I am amazed with the beauty of the markings of a tiger and there movements and piercing looks.I tried to capture a little of it all in these pieces..Hand sawing a sturdy sterling silver back plate and a serrated bezel to hug these beauties tight.I applied two hand formed bails at the top and bottom of each piece..I then wire wrapped a thick 18g wire to create a dangle which holds a sterling silver textured ball & at the end of each piece hangs a tiny sterling silver leaf..I handmade the ear wires and applied a heat formed ball at one end of each ear wire..The earrings measure almost 2 inches from the ear wires...the backs are stamped with my initials of CBR..I then hand brushed a patina to the silver to add distinct characteristic to the designs...They were then polished and tumbled for hours for strength and shine...


Many legends say that wearing tiger's eye is beneficial for health and spiritual well being. Legend also says it is a psychic protector, great for business, and an aid to achieving clarity.

SODALITE


I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU ALITTLE ABOUT SODALITE...I LOVE ALL STONES AND MINERALS AND I BELIEVE I SHOULD POST TO YOU ABOUT SODALITE SINCE I JUST MADE A RING THIS WEEKEND WITH A LARGE SODALITE STONE...

Sodalite balances the mental and emotional bodies... It cleanses the aura, soothes and calms inflammations... It fuels a person's creative processes and also enhances wisdom. It helps to make clear and rational decisions. It builds self confidence, helps fight lymphatic cancer and also boost the immune system... Sodalite is found in Namibia, Brazil, Canada and the USA. The hardness is 6..Sodalite is named in reference to the sodium content it has. It is found in light to dark pure blue color and is well known in the semi-precious stone world.

NEW LISTINGS!!! CHECK THEM OUT!!

FOLIAGE-Malchite sterling silver ring




~100% Handcrafted~

I have set an AMAZING Malachite 13mmx19mm into a sterling silver home...This Malachite is so ♥gorgeous♥ The many shades of green through out her and oh how she glows in different shades with different lighting...She is securely set on a strong sterling silver base and hugged tightly with a scalloped bezel...Two heat formed sterling silver pebbles and foliage accents added to piece..I hand cut and hand filed her to add the design around the stone...I sized to a small size 6 with a textured band...The back is hand stamped with my initials of CR..
I hand painted a patina to her to add that antiqued smoldering look..Then she was tumbled for hours for that brilliant shine and strength..
