1960s Vintage Jewelry~~~October 5, 2015

 

White Upcycled Necklace with Pendant

1960s Vintage Jewelry

 My white upcycled necklace with pendant is a vintage 1960's plastic beaded necklace I updated with a brass flower pendant. The flower is centered with 12mm (1/2") pearl rhinestone. This is subtly elegant piece of jewelry. I LOVE it! Definitely one of my favorite pieces.

The silk cording is knotted between the beads for a tough of glamour.

The vintage necklace is rated GREAT (no damage or faults, no need of repair, presentable and wearable) on the grading scale.

The necklace is a continuous length of 19" (48 cm). This length is called princess length or standard long. It will lay a few inches below your collarbone. The pendant will add an additional 1 1/4" (32mm).

One of the reasons I love this necklace is that it is so versatile! Casual or Dressy! Day to Evening! The length is perfect for so many necklines. A number of examples are: turtleneck, scoop, collar, and sweetheart. Of course, white matches everything!

SILVER PENNY ARTISANS ~~~ OUR NEWEST PIECE (30 August 2015)

 

Long Pink and Green Boho Chic Miracle Bead Ruby in Fuchsite Necklace

 

The Long Pink and Green Boho Chic Miracle Bead Ruby in Fuchsite Necklace is bright and lively!

This is a stunning statement necklace!

It is bohemian chic because it is long, colorful and full of variety.

It is a miracle bead necklace because the magenta beads change in the sun light.
Please look again at pictures #2 and #4. Picture 2 is of the beads in the shade. Picture 4 is of the magenta beads in the sun. Yes!!! They truly look like that in the light. Awesome! If that weren't enough, the cat's eye beads add even more luminescence!

Ruby in Fuchsite (Green Muscovite) is a lovely combination of natural red ruby crystals embedded in pale to medium green Fuschite. This is a gorgeous statement of a stone!!!

Definitely a head turner.

This avant-garde piece of jewelry hits at the beast bone (matinee length). 24" long with a 1 1/2" focal pendant.

It will look perfect with a turtleneck, a halterneck, a collar shirt, and a boat neckline!



RUBY IN FUCHSITE:

Astrological Sign: Aquarius

Otherwise known as Ruby Fuchsite, it merges the qualities of Ruby and Fuchsite for the perfect Heart Stone.

Ruby Fuchsite will help to clear any blockage of the Heart Chakra and fill the void with positive, loving energies. Ruby Fuchsite helps one to maintain an awareness of individuality, while also completely connecting with humanity as a whole. Use Ruby Fuchsite for transforming destructive, negative energies into positive, helpful ones.
The combination of Ruby and Fuchsite helps to open and enhance psychic awareness. Laying with Ruby Fuchsite on the Third-Eye can awaken latent psychic abilities by opening up the Heart Chakra to receive information from the Third-Eye Chakra. Use Ruby Fuchsite when working with any healing modality as this stone will help to amplify the body's energy field.

Ruby Fuchsite enhances the connection to spiritual realms, thinning the veil between this 3rd density reality and the other dimensions. Ruby Fuchsite is a perfect companion to use when connecting and communicating with the spirit world. This combination of two complementary colored crystals opens and activates the Crown Chakra and is helpful in deepening meditative states.

Physically, Ruby Fuchsite promotes physical vitality, recovery/relief from extended or chronic illness and can be of assistance for strengthening the heart and blood flow/circulation issues. A wonderful piece to keep close for those who have trouble going to sleep and/or staying asleep.

CAT'S EYE:

Natural Cat's Eye is Chrysoberyl. It exhibits a chatoyancy which is formed from fibrous inclusions or cavities within the stone. This chatoyancy allows the stone to resemble a cat's eye.

Determination, Strength of mind, Steadfastness, Willpower, Moral courage, Tenacity, Vigour, Resolve, Self control, Intelligence, Knowledge

Cat's Eye acts to stimulate intuition and to enhance awareness. It is a grounding stone that provides a very effective protective energy. Cat's Eye dispels unwanted energy from the aura. It amplifies good luck and fortune. Chrysoberyl Cat's Eye transforms negative thoughts into positive energy. Cat's Eye brings happiness and serenity, along with optimism, generosity and confidence. It can enhance creativity and kindness. Traditionally, Cat's Eye is believed to protect the wearer from evil spirits.

Cat's Eye treats eye disorders and improves night vision. It relieves headaches, facial and sciatic pain. Cat's Eye aids the nervous system and associated pains. It can be used to heal the kidneys, pancreas, liver, lymph nodes, spleen and issues associated with leukaemia.

****It is important to note, I include the information on stones because I find it interesting. I am NOT well studied on the subject.*****

TREASURY TUESDAY Today's treasure is M. Scenna Jewelry Creations

Happy Tuesday!  I hope you are having a bright and sunny day!  Here, in Southern Ontario (Canada) we are having sun showers!  Rainbows all over!

Are you jealous? I am so sorry, this was not my intention.  But, if you would like to see a rainbow of colors please stop by my fried Marjorie Scenna's Etsy Shop www.etsy.com/shop/mscenna !. There is definitely something for everyone there!  With Christmas around the corner (sorry but it is), now would be a great time to start you Christmas shopping.

Marjorie is a mom, preschool teacher, museum educator and crafter with a long time love for jewelry and vintage treasures. Over the years I've dabbled in many different types of crafts but always seem to come back to making jewelry -my personal favorite!

Marjorie's jewelry isn't just any jewelry!  She breathes new life into formerly loved pieces; making them new for you to love!  But don't take my word for it....feel Marjorie's passion in her own words:

    "My unique handcrafted jewelry creations begin with recycled vintage treasures from my collection. A bead may become part of an earring or a broken piece of jewelry might find a new home in an assemblage necklace or pin. I like to play and move things around until it feels right!

My love of jewelry crafting has become a part of my daily life. My kitchen table, dining room and backyard have all become part of my shop! I like to keep things available and ready if I feel inspired to work on something.

Participating in craft shows and holiday fairs are a regular part of my process. I love meeting people, watching them try on pieces and hearing their thoughts about my jewelry. Etsy has a wonderful "upcoming market" feature for finding sellers in their local areas - be sure to check out the top of my shop's home page for that feature throughout the year and during the holiday times.

It takes a lot of spare time to make something, but when you truly enjoy it, it just has a way of happening! I look forward to sharing my beaded necklaces, bracelets, earrings, key chains and ornaments with you!"

Now it is time for me to take you on a tour of her beautiful shop...so sit back, relax and enjoy yourself!!
