Mysticism

The recent encounter with the violet butterfly brought the amethyst beads to the top of my stash. And what does one do when she has amethyst in front of her? Create beauty, of course.

I've had this idea for a long time - now with the amethyst and quartz chips in front of me, along with some brilliant Czech crystals I have decided this is the day to make it.

So out came the sterling silver wire, chop-chop 11 'stakes' (1 the longest, plus 5 pairs gradually shorter), swirl-swirl a simple loop at the end of each, bead-bead-bead in some sort of a pattern, swirl-swirl a wired loop at the end if each stake, chop-chop another stake to hold all of them, bead-crystal-steak... repeat... add some sterling silver chain, a lobster clasp... and...

Voila! Coming to you from an evening of fun - Mysticism. It will protect you - as amethyst it is a stone for protection. Called the 'Stone of God' by Moses himself (and brilliantly adorning the robes of the High Priests of the Jews), the amethyst is February birth month too! Loved by all cultures and used since antiquity - amethyst has been attributed a great number of powers. It is said to be calming and protecting, to bring luck and drive away evil, to stimulate the mind and enhance creativity. It has been used my Priests, Magicians and Wizards alike through times.

Mysticism necklace is best worn for a formal occasion. This one of a kind piece is unique as it is seductive: will make its owner glow and look absolutely striking.
