Are you a sensitive, compassionate Purple lover?

Purple Rocks! [tweet_dis_img]smiles-and-purple[/tweet_dis_img]

Why? Because this vibrant color makes us feel luxurious and rich! Purple combines the energy of red and the calmness of blue. It is furthermore associated with spirituality and the higher self.

Purple’s elite status stems from the rarity and cost of the dye originally used to produce it.

Historically purple is considered the color of royalty. Purple was expensive and as a result only the wealthiest people could afford purple garments. In fact, Queen Elizabeth the First had forbid anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. To get one ounce of purple fabric, the mucus from 336,000 spiney dye-murex snails had to be harvested.

Is purple your favorite color?  If so you

    This just reminded me of a quote I just love: “I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.”

    Thanks for jarring my memory!

    Amethyst is my birthstone, so I have a ton of purple jewelry and I love it! 🙂 People go to great lengths for fashion and beauty, but it was still a surprise to learn about the snails’ contribution to the color purple. What an enjoyable read with lots of intriguing facts.

    Yes, I’m definitely a sensitive, compassionate purple lover. I’m always drawn to jewelry that has amethyst stones. I’m sure you go the Gem and Mineral show in Tucson which is my favorite place to buy amethyst rocks.

    Very interesting information on purple. Love learning about the attributes of purple-loving folk, since my new daughter-in-law is a purple lover. Any information is helpful:)

    I love purple! It’s not my absolute favorite (that’s green) but it’s high on the list. I remember when I was a kid, my great-aunt had an all purple bathroom (I’m talking fixtures). I do love the amethyst earrings I got from you, Alene, and wear them often.

What People are Saying

I really enjoy wearing my ‘Alene’s Adornments’ spiral earrings. They’re exactly what I want and like in an earring: authentic materials, light weight and beautiful design. I look forward to adding the next item to my collection of Alene’s creations. I highly recommend shopping here if you want beautiful jewelry, along with great service!

Alene has a gift for creating the perfect, unique piece of jewelry. Her ability to combine copper and sterling creates pieces of jewelry that are second to none. Alene then adds pops of color to create a piece that will call your name. Always eagerly await her new designs to see what new amazing piece will call my name.

I still have the first pair of earrings I bought from Alene and wear them frequently.  I could  almost open my own store with all the cuffs, earrings, and necklaces I own of Alene’s.  I admire and respect her talent.  It has been  wonderful to watch her jewelry progress over almost 20 years.  What a pleasure  to wear her talent.  Always compliments!!

I was introduced to Alene’s Adornments through a customer from work (grocery industry). I loved the unique pieces that Alene creates. I purchased a ring and received it gift wrapped and very quickly. The ring is one of my favorites and I receive nice comments when I wear it.
