Wire Jewelry - Tree of Life Pendant

I said I will post more often.
But, my more often is not that often.

Another long overdue post here.
This Tree of Life Pendant (TOL) and bracelet is for our dearest primary school English teacher - Mona San Louis.

We have not seen her for like more than 30 years!
But she looks great and beautiful as ever.

I didn't attend the reunion but just managed to get this TOL pendant and bracelet on time, to attend on my behalf.

I don't remember ever making a TOL pendant before, so this is a first.
I used peridot, garnet and tourmaline.

MinLet - Prehnite, for Peace and Protection

Compared to man made crystals or beads, I prefer natural gemstones.
If it is a green colored gemstones, better still :)

This time around, my MinLet (Minima Bracelet) is wire wrapped with natural Prehnite nuggets.

One thing about Prehnite is that the stone can be a little bit on the brittle side. Few pieces got chipped off at the edges where holes were drilled. At least a third of them. Very sayang (wasted), so got to think of what to do with those chipped pieces.

Got to be extra careful while wire wrapping the stones as well. Be gentle.

Material:
  • Chain: Box link stainless steel chain
  • Clasp: Lobster claw clasp
  • Gemstone Beads: Natural Prehnite nuggets of various sizes
  • Length: About 7 inches (18 cm). Adding few jump rings will add to the length of the MinLet.

Wire Jewelry - Minlet - Rose Quartz and Yellow Agate

Somehow the pictures for Rose Quartz Minlet didn't turn out clear even after some editing ☹
Similar to previous Minlets, they are made wire wrapped with the following:

  • Stainless steel chain link and lobster claw clasp (non-tarnish, easy to clean and long lasting).
  • 6 mm Rose Quartz and 4mm Yellow Agate
  • Length - about 7 inches (18 cm). These two are not adjustable but can be made into adjustable bracelets by adding jump rings like this and this

Minlet and Introducing MINLACE, Happy New Year 2015

Last day of 2014 and my last post for the year. Looking forward to 2015, so let me wish you:

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!!! Have a happy and prosperous 12 months of 2015.

Taking this opportunity to introduce my first MinLace (Minima Necklace) to all of you. This time around its Amethyst Minlace and Minlet, a February birthstone and a positive energy stones.

February born readers!, are you feeling the connection with this post already? :)

It is believed that Amethyst crystals are great for emotional healing, strengthen relationships, give courage, calmness and reduce anxiety and stress.
Minlace (Minima Necklace) and Minlet (Minima Bracelet) with Amethyst

From the Greek word "amethystos" which means "remedy against drunkenness", wearing this stone may protect you from the effects of drunkenness.

Since the New Year 2015 celebration is just a few hours away (assuming you are planning to get drunk), do wear Amethyst to protect you and yours :)

Minlet - All of Them (Well not really all of them :))

Finally able to post all the Minlet on the wrist. Love the look of few Minlets together rather than just one or two.

I think we can call it Stacking Minlet...hehe....what am I mumbling about....duh.

Well, not all of them are around anymore. Some have found new wrists while few I plan to giveaway.
That means I got to sit down and make some more of different colored gemstones.
