*Touch of Grey* Double Strand Necklace

I love the combination of the soft looking, light gray Freshwater Pearls and the darker gray, metallic looking Hematite. The shorter strand measures 18" in length and the longer strand approximately 20/21". It closes with a sterling silver hook clasp.

Every silver lining's got a touch of grey...
I will get by...
"Touch of Grey" ~ Grateful Dead

This song always gets my feet tapping - before I know it I'm spinning around the room!

You can find this song on Grateful Dead's In The Dark CD...

*Little Wing* Necklace

All her friends call her little wing
But she flies rings around them all
She comes to town when the children sing
And leaves them feathers if they fall
She leaves her feathers if they fall
"Little Wing" ~ Neil Young

I can picture "Little Wing" wearing this necklace - petite, yet powerful and protective.

This necklace features a 13x17mm Turquoise gemstone pendant with a 4mm Hematite round accent. It suspends 1" from a strand of 4mm Ocean Blue Turquoise, 3mm Hematite gemstones and Bali .925 sterling silver. The necklace is adjustable from 16" to 18" in length and closes with a sterling silver lobster clasp.

One of my favorite Neil Young songs on one of my favorite Neil Young CD's.

*Love Is A Shield* Necklace

Love is a shield,
to hide behind,
love is a field to grow inside
and when I sometimes close my eyes,
my mind starts spinning around...
~Camouflage~

I stumbled across the lyrics of this song and it jumped out at me for the title of this necklace ~ Love Is A Shiled ~ it couldn't have been more perfect if I'd thought of it myself, considering the pendant is a "Camouflage" Jasper and in the shape of a "shield"!

This necklace features a beautiful 30x50x6 Camouflage Jasper gemstone shield. It suspends 2-1/4" from a strand of 6mm & 8mm Kambaba Jasper gemstones, 2mm Black Onyx gemstones and Bali silver. The necklace measures 19" in length and closes with a sterling silver lobster clasp.

I know very little about the band Camouflage but what I did hear I liked. You can give a listen on Amazon...

"New Beginning" Necklace

This necklace represents a New Beginning for our planet.

We can break the cycle - We can break the chain
We can start all over - In the new beginning
We can learn, we can teach
We can share the myths the dream the prayer
The notion that we can do better
Change our lives and paths
Create a new world and...Start all over
~ "New Beginning" ~ Tracy Chapman

Picture Jasper is a wonderful stone for connecting with the earth and is often called the stone of Global Awareness.

Mother of Pearl is highly protective, nurturing and repairs the deep wounds created by unfulfilled needs.

This necklace is created with a 32x15mm New Picture Jasper gemstone pendant, 4mm amber Mother-of-Pearl and Bali .925 sterling silver accents. It measures 17" in length and closes with a sterling silver lobster clasp.

"Turquoise World" Necklace

The title of this one-of-a-kind necklace comes from the beautiful Native American flute music by R. Carlos Nakai. Every song on his CD "Canyon Trilogy" is inspiring and calming to the soul. "Turquoise World" is one of my favorites - the song and the necklace :-)

This necklace features a Turquoise and German silver pendant. It suspends 1-1/2" from a strand of 6mm Turquoise gemstones, 6mm Hematite gemstones and .925 sterling silver. The necklace measures 16" in length and closes with a sterling silver S hook clasp.

Turquoise is sacred to Native Americans who believe this stone bridges heaven and earth. This stone promotes spiritual attunement and assists in clearing your mind, opening you to the Universal All.

To be gifted Turquoise brings good fortune and peace.

Turquoise World is on R. Carlos Nakai's Canyon Trilogy CD and can be found on Amazon.

New! Crazy Love Necklace

Ok - another semi new necklace. I took the necklace apart - same beads (except the glass spacer beads have been changed to a different color), slightly different look.

I am feeling inclined to rename my pieces after songs - a way for me to combine my love for music and beads!

This one I named "Crazy Love" after one of my favorite songs by Van Morrison. It seemed appropriate since the pendant is Crazy Lace Agate, a stone which enables one to laugh.

Crazy Love can be found on Van Morrison's Moondance CD...

New! "Get Together"... Music Inspired Gemstone Necklace

Actually, this necklace is not completely new. I took the piece apart and recreated it, giving it a fresh, updated look. While I was working on it the combination of "Indian" Bloodstone and "Chinese" Writing Stone brought the song "Get Together" to my mind (originally done by The Youngbloods, I really enjoy Lizz Wright's version).

"C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now"

Rhyolite helps to faciliate change, Chinese Writing Stone helps to adjust to it and Bloodstone gives courage. This necklace truly represents brotherhood!

"Get Together" is on Liz Wright's Dreaming Wide Awake CD. Check it out on Amazon...
