"Purely" Asymmetrical

Christmas is coming!  Crazy!

Where did the year go?

I have about 10+ necklaces packaged and ready for purchase.

I haven't had an abundance of time to photograph and post.

I am working as fast as I can.  Give me a shout if you are looking for something special and I can e-mail pictures to you if I don't get pictures posted within the next few days.

In addition, I just completed 4 necklace "Recycles."  Meaning, I was given a piece of jewelry that needed to be updated into something more current or just plain different.  

I'll be posting the before and afters tomorrow.  Check back.

As I have mentioned in a previous post, I love asymmetrical necklaces.  

I just love the interesting nature.  

I hope you'll love it too.

"Purely" Asymmetrical

  24 inch petite antique bronze chain with 2 antique bronze floral "beads" along the left side.  In between the floral "beads" are three graduated antique bronze circles with a pearl "bead" in the center.  The pendant is a rough and chunky piece of quartz dipped in rose plated gold at the top.  The pendant has been wired to the chain so that it does not slide.  It will hang perfectly in the center.  A cluster of pearl "beads" hangs to the right side of the quartz pendant.  The necklace is finished with a traditional lobster clasp in the back. 

 Specific stone properties: 

Quartz crystals are said to be the most versatile and multipurpose healing stone.  It is known as the "power stone" or "universal crystal" due to its many uses.  Quartz is a stone of clarity which can dispel negative energy. It can be used to purify and clarify on the spiritual, mental, and physical planes.  Quartz enhances spiritual growth, spirituality and wisdom. Because it clarifies thought processes and emotions, it can increase inspiration and creativity. It is also known to enhance concentration. Quartz is a stone of harmony because it balances energies, and is even helpful in romantic relationships.

Throughout history, the pearl, has been one of the most highly prized and sought after gems. In ancient Rome, pearls were considered the ultimate symbol of wealth and social standing. The Greeks held the pearl in high esteem for both its unrivaled beauty and its association with love and marriage. Pearls are thought to bring truth to situations of the heart.  Pearls are also known to alleviate emotional imbalances, enhance personal integrity and assist emotional expression.  Pearls are also June’s birthstone.

Stick a bow on and call it wrapped!  

In fact, I'd be happy to add the bow for you if you tell me that your purchase is a gift.  

I created this packaging to be different than the traditional cardboard box with cotton fluff 

or the stuffy cardboard hinged box.  

This stiff packaging comes to a point at the top with a flap to seal.  

The patterned cardboard insert allows the necklace to dangle freely for maximum showing.  The necklace chain fits neatly into the envelope on the back.  

I added a mini business card in the back and my signature bee ribbon for branding.  

I like to think that the packaging is the perfect way to showcase my unique pieces.
