Craftsmanship and design inspiration are the heartbeats of enchanted woodland jewelry, showcasing the meticulous artistry and natural influences that make each one of a kind jewelry piece truly enchanting.

Symbolism in Enchanted Woodland Jewelry

Enchanted woodland jewelry is not just decorative; it carries deep symbolism rooted in nature’s wonders. Common elements such as leaves symbolize growth and renewal, animals represent strength and connection to the earth, while mystical symbols like moons and stars evoke a sense of magic and mystery. Understanding the symbolism behind these elements adds layers of meaning to my jewelry designs, making them vessels of storytelling and sentiment.

Wearing Enchanted Woodland Pieces

Enchanted woodland jewelry brings a touch of natural elegance to your everyday style. Here are some suggestions on how to effortlessly incorporate these pieces into your wardrobe for various occasions:

Day-to-Day Wear

1. Embrace the beauty of nature by adding a delicate woodland necklace or a pair of leaf-shaped earrings to your casual outfits.

Caring for Enchanted Woodland Jewelry

Taking care of your enchanted woodland jewelry is essential to maintain its allure and longevity. Proper cleaning and storage practices can ensure that these delicate pieces stay enchanting for years to come.

Cleaning and Storage

When it comes to cleaning gentle care is key. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the intricate details and natural elements of the pieces. Instead, opt for a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the jewelry clean. For stubborn dirt or buildup, a mild soap diluted in water can be used sparingly. After cleaning, be sure to dry the jewelry thoroughly before storing it.

Proper storage is equally important in preserving the beauty of enchanted woodland jewelry. Avoid exposing these pieces to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can cause damage over time. Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from moisture and humidity. Consider using individual soft pouches or compartments to prevent pieces from scratching or tangling with each other.

Avoiding Damage and Wear

To prevent damage and wear on your enchanted woodland jewelry, handle the pieces with care. Avoid wearing them during activities that may subject them to excessive force, such as rigorous sports or manual labor. Perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays can also tarnish or corrode delicate materials, so it’s best to apply these products before putting on your jewelry.

By following these care tips, you can enjoy the magic of your enchanted woodland pieces for years to come.

Conclusion

Enchanted Woodland Pieces are not just accessories; they are gateways to a world of unseen beauty inspired by nature’s wonders. From the delicate leaf patterns to the intricate bark textures, each piece tells a story of the forest’s mystique.

Wearing these creations is not just about fashion; it’s about embracing the magic of the woods and carrying a piece of that enchantment with you wherever you go. Let your style reflect the harmony between nature and fashion, and let your accessories whisper tales of the hidden treasures found in the heart of the forest.

So, next time you adorn yourself with an Enchanted Woodland Piece, remember that you are not just wearing jewelry – you are embodying the spirit of the forest, and letting its unseen beauty shine through in every neckline and every gesture.

Most of us are familiar with this vibrant and gorgeous purple gem. Those lucky folk who are born in February get to call it their birthstone. I bet though there are lots of fascinating facts about amethyst that you do NOT know! I am here to share some of these tidbits with you now.

Where does the purple color come from and Where is it found?

Amethyst is a variety of quartz. The purple color comes from the iron in the stone. The more iron it contains, the deeper the purple color is. This gem is mined in many locations around the globe. Right here in Arizona is one of the premier mines called the 4 Peaks Mine. The finest and deepest colored amethyst is also found in Uruguay and Brazil.

How did amethyst get it’s name?

The name comes from the Greek ‘amethustos’ meaning not drunk. It was believed that if you drank from a vessel made of amethyst.. or wore amethyst.. you were immune to drunkenness’. Oh how I wish this was really true!!

Is this gem durable? How large can an amethyst geode be?

The answer is YES, this gem is quite durable and hard. It registers 7.5 on the mohs scale. To put this in perspective let me tell you that a diamond is the hardest gem and it registers 10 on the mohs scale. All quartz such as amethyst are 7.5 and considered quite hard. Keep in mind though that amethyst geodes like the one pictured in this blog have lots of fragile and pointy sections. These will break off quite easily depending upon their size.

The largest amethyst geode weights 28,660 pounds and is 9 feet 10″ long, 5 feet 10″wide and 7 feet 2″ high. It is displayed in Shandong Tianyu Museum of Natural History in Shandong, China.

Now you know so much more about amethyst! I will close with this famous quote.

“Amethyst dissipates evil thoughts and quickens the intelligence” Leonardo Da Vinci.

Yes believe it or not this rainbow solar quartz gem originates from a stalactite. These are the calcium icicles that hang in a limestone cave. Once they are mined, they are sliced to create this amazing gem. Sadly the rainbow colors are not natural. They are added infused into the gem before the final cabochon is created.

Once I discovered this incredible I had to create one of a kind jewelry. I adore the range of colors and especially love that each gem is unique in the way the color creeps into the gem. You can see my whole collection here

These quartz gems have been called drusy, drusie and druzy. What is the correct spelling for these tiny quartz crystals that form on the surface of a stone? The answer is .. it doesn’t matter. It all means the same!

Each gem is one of a kind too. WE can shape them the same of course, but the formation of the tiny crystals will always be different. Fascinating isnt it?

Many of these gems are in the design phase right now. Watch for them all to emerge as a designer ring, cuff or pendant. Want to be first to see the new designs? Join my collectors list here to get first look.
