So! Something new in the shop - a watch. This one has turquoise beads and silver spaces on sterling silver - handcrafted from silver wire by - me!
We've sold several watches, but we've never had one in our Etsy shop - until now! :-)
I love the graceful look of curved wire - silver, copper, brass. It seems so peaceful and lovely to me. And I love working with the wire - one of my favorite ways to relax.
I also made a turquoise and pearl bracelet that looks GREAT with the watch. I think Michael calls it a "companion piece". It really is a great companion piece.
There is also a pair of earrings that match the bracelet. We'll have to see that those get into the shop (TheEarringLady) tomorrow morning.
I was reading about Turquoise this afternoon. I found out that it's one of the oldest stones known - dating as far back as the Egytians. Turquoise is considered by many to bring inner strength, and to provide protection from harm. I love reading about the spiritual qualities of different gemstones.
Do you have a favorite gemstone? Why is it your favorite? I'd love to hear from you!
