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.

Turquoise


A favorite stone of mine? All I will say is …. She who dies with the most turquoise wins… or something like that. Shown above is a turquoise and copper peace bracelet. Healing copper jewelry is such a boon for arthritis sufferers, plus it happens to be gorgeous with turquoise.

Turquoise is an aluminum acetate phosphate usually found in the seams of aluminum rich rocks in the area of copper mines. Colors range from light blue, sky blue, turquoise blue to green-blue. Turquoise can be found in Arizona, Mexico, Tibet, China, Poland and France. Some of the most beautiful turquoise is found in Arizona.

Discovered in Turkey by Crusaders, turquoise has been a popular protective gemstone since ancient time. In the thirteenth century Turquoise was said to protect the wearer from injury from falling, particularly from horseback. Turks attached the stone to the bridles of horses as amulets; it was believed to render them more surefooted and enduring. Long considered a holy stone by American Indians, they believed turquoise was a magic stone that protected against all harm. Indian legend says that a man who could go to the end of the rainbow and dig in the earth would find a turquoise. In the Middle Ages it was believed to give women a sense of happiness and contentment, while guaranteeing success and power to men.

Turquoise is beneficial for the whole body, but especially the respiratory and immune systems. Those strongly affected by pollution can find turquoise very helpful. Turquoise is also helpful with general stomachaches, rheumatism, infections, inflammation, and speeds recovery after illness.

Turquoise symbolizes beauty. It elevates goals and understanding; encourages creative problem solving. Turquoise can help you get more in tune with others and increase communication skills. Stabilizing extreme mood swings, it counteracts apathy.

With zodiacal affinity for Aquarius, Turquoise is also an important gemstone for all the zodiac signs. It is the common birthstone for December.

The Bee symbolizes industrious and cooperative teamwork, dilligence and a sense of order. In mediterranean civilizations, the bee was seen to be brave, chaste, industrious, clean and lives harmoniously. Symbols of purity and abstinence. In the secular world, the bee was a royal symbol and the queen bee was long regarded as a King.

The bee is also a sign of creativity, wealth and eloquence. The Egyptians used it as a symbol of regal power.

Bees are, in many cultures, a symbol of hope, and also inspire cleanliness, social organization, tireless work, honey-sweet rhetoric, intelligence and poetry.

The bee is often seen as the original source of all life and inspiratin. Looked upon as a symbol of the potency of nature, because while creating a magical elixir, known for its preservation properties, they were also pollinating flowers, increasing plant fertility, and abundance. Because of these symbolic meanings, the bee has been used as an emblem by those who wish to associate themselves with the inpiration of the Gods.
