Crayola Bomb Peace Sign Earrings Gold Jewelry

Here's the quotation that inspired this World Peace Jewelry series of peace jewelry:

Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air, explode softly, and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either, not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. Robert Fulghum

We must concentrate not merely on the eradication of war but on the affirmation of peace. Quotation from Martin Luther King, Jr

Pearls and Peace

I’ve never met anyone who does not admire pearls.

Pearls are calcified objects made by shellfish from the same material that they use to form their shells. Sand or some other foreign material gets under the skin of an oyster and irritates its skin. In response, the oyster coats the offending grain over a period of time with layers of pearly smooth calcium. The result is a pearl. Pearls are the product of both salt and freshwater oysters. Colors range from silver, cream, gold, green, blue, black and can be dyed. Pearls are found in the Persian Gulf, coasts of Central America and north Australia and Japan.

Pearls have been worn in jewelry by kings and emperors for thousands of years and can be admired in museums all over the world. The pearl jewelry of the Queen of Sheba is legendary. Lucifer is said to have broken his teeth because of his craving for pearls.

Pearls can stabilize the production of hormones. They are also used to alleviate chronic headaches and migraines.

Oysters are feminine in nature - they contain an embryonic object within them - and become tuned to the phases of the moon, which control tidal changes. Pearls are in tune with women, especially pregnant women. Long the symbol of woman’s perfect beauty, pearls also symbolize modesty and purity. A soothing influence, pearls bring feelings of peace and reduces over-sensitivity.

With zodiacal affinity for Cancer, Pearls are also important for all the zodiac signs. Often used as the birthstone for June.

Shown above is a gorgeous handcrafted necklace with creamy white Freshwater Pearls, hand wire wrapped with gold chain. Pendant is a traditional peace sign that I've dangled from an affirmation circle proclaiming Dream.

Onyx a Healing Gemstone

Another special stone for me is black Onyx. My wedding ring is an antique sterling silver setting with a lovely onyx rectangular cab and a little diamond in the center. Plus, I suppose that, being a Capricorn, the stone simply suits me.
Onyx, an agate, belongs to the quartz family. The color is opaque black. Onyx is found in Brazil, India, Madagascar, Mexico, and the United States. Do not confuse it with the yellow, brown, and green “onyx” stones that are varieties of calcite-aragonite.

In ancient times onyx was considered one of the most important healing stone. Onyx was often used as protection from black magic. Whereas a moonstone will “remember” the spiritual events that happen to a person, onyx will “remember” the physical events surrounding a person.

Onyx should be worn over a long period of time because its power develops slowly. It is very effective for skin infections, inflammation and sunburn.

Onyx deflects negative energy and brings inner harmony. Promoting self-confidence and a sense of responsibility, onyx also relieves stress, fights depression, sooths fear. Onyx is said to help the wearer achieve success.

Onyx has a zodiacal affinity with Capricorn, as well as Aquarius, Pisces, Cancer, and Libra.

Shown above is a handcrafted hammered copper and black Onyx bracelet from World Peace Jewelry.
