Lately, I've been Wearing this jadeite and 14k hinged bangle...
What a compliment! Thank you Minous.,
Valeria, that is an interesting and very true description, that lavender stones rhime together. They have a way of popping out and connecting to each other visually.
Wearing my newly set aquamarine! Just received it yesterday!
This is so lovely! Even though I love jade, I don't wear it, but you're making me reconsider.Lately, I've been Wearing this jadeite and 14k hinged bangle...
Thank you, Garnetgirl! Sigh...jadeite really is vast because of all the separate qualities. How they come together allows for a huge variety of types of jade. My feeling is that one can have many jade bangles but not feel that any are repetitive because they are so different from each other. This has made me really fascinated with this gem.
Valeria, I also think that metal and gold especially is so profound in its beauty. It's a true essence. I LOVE the high karat gold in its pure forms...As I understand what you wrote, .you were able to release some pieces, which takes a special kind of openness to life, even if one regrets having parted from some things.
Mochito, thank you! I imagine a touch of jade would be beautiful mixed in with your collection of wonderful jewelry.This is so lovely! Even though I love jade, I don't wear it, but you're making me reconsider.
Oh my, I LOVE these! What a wonderful collection, Keeliamira! I'm impressed by both the items, and how you are wearing them!Today I pulled out some of my turquoise pieces. The pieces on my left hand are much older than the ones on my right. (Not shown: long Zuni old pawn dangly turquoise earrings) Today's "jewelry hug" was from my grandmother and her petit point cuff (right hand).
This is just how I feel as well! I completely share your taste and feeling about blues! (And the love of Native American Jewelry.) with blues, I love the variations, from blue greens to lavender and violet blues, to grey blues, from strong, saturated blues to watery blues. This color range feels deep, soothing, wild, free, mysterious and powerful, Like the forces of nature which cannot be tamed, and most importantly, transcendant, dreamy and ethereal in a way which is beyond the self. Thinking of 'soul', I cannot imagine any other color as fitting as blue !Thank you Blue! Being from the West, Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi jewelry is near and dear to my heart. And my jewel box in total is very much skewed towards blues and greens and aquas... They remind me of the sky and the sea in so many of their variations. I'm convinced blue is the color of my soul... In a good way.
Gorgeous! I love them both! What a special ring. That truly is one of a kind.Again, I have shown these things before, but today I'm wearing my aquamarine cabochon pendant which has a horse carved in it from the underside. The pendant is 22k and the chord is 18k. Also, my boa snake ring which was made for the vonsen's blue jade cabochon in it, which my husband found on the beach.
Lol!! That is hilarious! " I'm a Gemini with Leo rising....how about you, baby?"I could not have said it any better! I so agree! Now I feel like I should say "Hey baby, what's your sign?"
Love, love, love!Today I pulled out some of my turquoise pieces. The pieces on my left hand are much older than the ones on my right. (Not shown: long Zuni old pawn dangly turquoise earrings) Today's "jewelry hug" was from my grandmother and her petit point cuff (right hand).
I love the dainty and fresh beauty of this necklace! Gorgeous!
I need "very metallic", very reflective, pearls for my dream project
Arkteia, metallic pearls are really so stunning. I'm curious about what your dream project is....
