Owl & Friends: Guess Whoo Loves U

Recently, I had my hands busy working on a series of fun cutesy keychains that is sure to make you or your receiving love ones smile with their tongue-in-cheek greetings. I call them my series of Owl & Friends keychains.

The first in the series is the Guess Whoo Loves U pendants. The keychain comes with an owl pendant with the tongue-in-cheek greetings 'Guess Whoo Loves U'. The pendant is hand-sealed with water resistant resin which gives it a nice domed, glossy finish. The pendant measures 1 inch in diameter and the entire keychain hangs about 3 inches in total.

Sale price: US$7/S$10

(There are 4 owls you can choose from - Blue, Brown, Green Checkered and Purple. You can also choose to add a tinkle bell in matching colour at no extra cost - see pic! Or choose to convert the key chain to a necklace with a longer ball chain at only S$2 extra! Just state your additional requirements in your email to me.)

Amethyst Gems & Swarovski Crystals Rosary

Amethyst & Swarovski Crystal Rosary

Mother Mary Connector

Elegant Crucifix

This is my first piece of commissioned work for a rosary. Given the sacred nature of the rosary, I felt I had to put in my best-est effort to make this piece a real beauty.

The rosary comprises of Hail Mary beads made of real amethyst gemstones in 6mm rounds. Our Father beads were stunning 8mm Swarovski round crystals in light amethyst. The entire rosary is a nice regalia purple. The rosary comes together with a connector with Mother Mary's beautiful portrait before ending with an elegant crucifix.

When worn, the rosary falls nicely down the neck with the crucifix ending perfectly at the centre of your heart.

"Hermonie" Crystal Filigree Earrings

The circumstance under which this design got its name is pretty obvious. I was re-watching my Harry Potter DVDs (yes! I am a Harry Potter fan and have watched the first instalment for a gazillion time) and working on the pieces at the same time. So it is just apt for me to name this design after my second favourite character (the first being Ron). So here you go, Hermonie is a sweet design with unique pewter filigree finished with elegant Swarovski crystals in violet.

Match this with a lavender top and cream bottom. Hermonie measures approx. 1 inch from the bottom of the ear hook.

Gem Notes - Amethyst

This majestic gemstone ranges in color from deep purple to pale lavender depending on the presence of manganese and iron. Amethyst can also appear reddish-purple or yellow-purple depending on the combination of minerals present in the clear quartz. Amethyst stone can be somewhat omnipotent with its many uses. It is used as a dream stone to help insomnia, as well as a protection stone to guard against fearful feelings, as a protection against evil thoughts. Amethyst is often used during mediation as it brings calmness and evokes feelings of serenity in those who wear it.

The amethyst is known as the Bishop's Stone and is still worn by Catholic Bishops. The amethyst symbolizes piety, humility, sincerity and spiritual wisdom. Also, Amethyst is a gemstone often worn by healers, as it has the power to focus energy. Amethyst is used for problems in the blood and in breathing problems. Amethyst crystal clusters are used to keep the air and life force in the home clean and positive

A tip: Amethyst clusters placed in a window that receives sun most of the day are very beneficial to use in healing and to heal negativity in the home. Place Amethyst clusters, points or several tumbled Amethysts in moonlight and everyone in the home will be feeling calmer

"Purple Love" Agate Earrings

Agate brings calmness and good luck. This is even more evident in purple crazy lace agate. The occasional purple swirls create complex patterns that make this a unique agate, hence giving depth to this design. The accompanying Swarovski amethyst bicone crystal further accentuates this design.

Gem Notes - Agate:

Sufi saints and Hindu sadhus use agate for rosaries and necklaces because it brings calmness which leads to good luck. That relationship between calmness and good luck is especially evident in crazy lace agate. Agate also gives general protection and healing power. It increases courage, self-confidence, and energy, as well as promoting longevity.
