Gem Notes - Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is the stone of universal love. It became to be known as the stone of love from the Greek myth about Aphrodite and Adonis. Their blood was commingled when Aphrodite was cut by a thorn bush while saving Adonis from an attack by Ares (disguised as a wild boar). Their blood stained white quartz to make it a rose-pink color. Later, it became customary for the Romans to use the stone as a gift of love.

Rose Quartz restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. It purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace. Calming and reassuring, it helps to comfort in times of grief. Rose Quartz dispels negativity and protects against environmental pollution, replacing it with loving vibes.

Physically, Rose Quartz strengthens and balances the physical heart and circulatory system. Rose Quartz has the power to increase fertility and to protect both mother and unborn fetus from miscarriage. A great stone for the important women in our lives.

"Made For An Angel" Charm Bracelet

A dear friend wanted a special birthday gift for her niece - her little angel. It must be fate as I found these pretty charms just as I was trying to brainstorm on a design at the bead store. I found angels, cupids, hearts and angel wings all in pewter which would come together beautifully in a charm bracelet. To glam it up, I added Swarovski crystals in rose and jonquil. Focal to the bracelet is a 12mm Swarovski flower in yellow and an angel pendant with her name inscribed on it. Truly, a bracelet made for an angel...
