Gothic Dangle Earrings

Chakra Jewelry

New Chakra Energy Jewelry

New to our jewelry boutique is our Chakra Energy Jewelry.  Beautiful dangle earrings with gemstones that represent each chakra.  The gemstones used in our chakra earrings are  red garnet, red jasper, citrine, malachite, turquoise, amethyst and clear quartz crystal.

We have chakra earrings with mystical charms and also simple chakra earrings with no charms, just gemstones.

A bit about Chakras:

Each chakra represents one of the major energy centers of the body.  Different emotions are linked with each of these energy centers.

Chakras are like spirals of energy, each one relating to the others.  For well being it is necessary to keep our chakras aligned and balanced to help maintain our body's own healing process.
If our energy centers become blocked or depleted, our body can not function properly and can lead to problems on any level (body, mind or spirit). 

It's believed that a Chakra responds to the energy produced by particular gemstones and are therefore thought to bring balance and alignment to these energy points in the body.

7th chakra - crown of head, spirituality
6th chakar - 3rd eye, vision
5th chakra - creativity, expression
4th chakra - heart, love
3rd chakra - solar plexus, power
2nd chakra - lower belly, emotions
1st chakra - base of spine, survival

When you wear gemstone jewelry especially gemstones that relate to each of the Chakras not only are you wearing a beautiful gemstone but you are also helping your body stay healthy and balanced.

Selene of 'Underworld'

Selene of 'Underworld'

Underworld is a movie film featuring vampires and werewolves, a dark film that's also a budding love story between Selene, a vampire and Michael, a werewolf.  You really get to see their love grow in the 2nd movie film in the series, "Evolution".

I love this part of the movie dialogue in Underworld, as it show Kraven being jealous that Selene is attracted to Michael.

Selene: Understand that Michael is somehow
important to the Lycans...

Kraven: So now it's "Michael"!

Selene:
Would you just hear me out?

Kraven:
It's beyond me why you're so
obsessed over this ridiculous theory.
Lucian wouldn't be a bit
interested in a human...
...Michael or otherwise.

Selene:
Wait a minute.

Kraven:
You're infatuated with him,
aren't you?

Selene:
Now, that's a ridiculous theory.

Kraven:
Is it?

The Glass Bead

The Glass Bead

Do you love glass beads?  Glass beads come in all forms of shapes, colors, & finishes, and are used by jewelry designers &, crafters to create and decorate all sorts of items. From jewelry, handbags, pillows, clothing to candle holders, artwork & such.

Did you know that glass beads have been made for about 9,000 years?  Glass for beads are made by mixing quartz sand, potash or soda, heated with lime.  Invented by the ancient Egyptians & Romans, they later appeared in India.

Beads are made in various ways:

Wound - where by molten glass is wound around a metal wire, then sliced and polished.
Lampwork - winding molten glass around copper wire heated over a lamp.
Mosaic - where segments of glass cane are fused.
Millefiori - Layers of colorful glass fused in cross section & melted onto the surface of the bead.
Blown - Where a craftsman blows into a glass tube that has a piece of molten glass on the end, turning the glass over heat until the desired size is reached.

Did you know that beads were equivalent to money, & were traded?  Hurray for the glass beads, as they continue to live on & be made into beautiful jewelry & other creative beautiful things.

Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli

Sterling Silver Lapis Lazuli earrings

Do you love Lapis Lazuli? Did you know that powdered lapis was used as eyeshadow by Cleopatra and that in ancient times, lapis lazuli was known as sapphire?

Lapis lazuli gets its brilliant blue color from its sulfur content. The more evenly the color is distributed throughout the stone, the higher the quality, and the greater the value. Lapis generally occurs with a speckled and strained consistency, with glittering inclusions of iron pyrite. If the pyrite is well distributed, the stones beauty may be enhanced adding to its genuineness.
