This is what Sheila Barns from Eternal Circle had to say about her commissioned jewellery and the meaning of the Atlantean Ankh

 

 Hi Donna, this piece is amazing to wear I love it and wear it most of the time now! The Atlantean Ankh is an ancient symbol of eternal life; the two 'legs' at the bottom represent the equal balance of female and male energies and also the connection between Earth and the Sun which was very important in ancient cultures. It helps to protect against strong negative influences and creates balance in your life. The Aqua Aura crystal in the centre of the loop enhances the flow of peaceful energy and spiritual wisdom and also attracts positive things into your life. Perfect for me as an energy healer and very symbolic of my identity as Eternal Circle Healing. Thank you for adding your very artistic influence to my original idea it makes it so personal to me I looooove it

Angels

I am dreaming of Angels all the time, I even seen them in clouds yesterday, What's wrong with me? why cant I sleep? is this a calling to make angel jewellery? Well I did, is this what I'm suppose to do, it's very strange as when I made 3 I said I should cast them to take the hard work away than making them from scratch and a little voice said in my head, we are not all the same!!!! eh! what the hell is going on in my head? The design is the same, but each one unique. Now I'm thinking as I made one for a client it brought comfort to her and she said it reminds her of her late Mother, if she is feeling down she wears it and it makes her smile. Am I suppose to make these beautiful angels for the buyer to be drawn to one which is suppose to be for them and that person only? or am I just overworked and going crazy???

 

 

 

Gorgeous sentimental inherited ring's, but hidden in her jewellery box

As Denise lives on a boat, I used her stone from one of her old rings for this necklace.

 

He's her gorgeous recycled diamonds and aquamarine set into a silver sail ring, which she will actually wear, she loved them both! So don't keep your treasures hidden, if they don't fit or not your style, Commission a jeweller to make something for you, use and wear your inherited treasures!

 

 

 

Burnt orange in time for Autumn, "Pretty Wild" Aphrodite goddess silver necklace”. Meaning; the goddess of love who adorned herself with beautiful jewellery. Made using real leaves and the S hook is hidden under a beautiful leaf and is just as pretty as the main leaf design.

Will be in my Etsy shop for sale tomorrow.

my gorgeous packaging

While the beautiful fungi was growing outside on our log, I had to take this picture with my packaging, makes it a little more interesting. I love fungi, they remind me of  magical fairy land story's when I was a child and it's unbelievable how many different fungi grows on & around this log.

Angel

 

 

The Angel I dreamt about. A commissioned piece for one of my special clients, She said she would love an angel but struggling to find one what she liked, after that I couldn't stop dreaming about angels, I explained to her about my dream and she just said make it! now she says it reminds her of her Mother who passed away, and it's her favourite jewellery piece. I truly love this piece and I'm sure it was an angelic experience.

Large rare red Victorian sea glass surrounded by silver seaweed

My eyes sore from looking for sea glass, was going to call it a day when this beauty hit my eye, and next to it was some seaweed, so I couldn't leave it there all alone, so dried the seaweed then hand painted it about 27 times in fine silver, (I thought I'm not doing this again) letting it dry between coats, then kiln fired it, the back has left the beautiful detail of the seaweed! I found them together so they stayed together! I will take a photograph of the finished piece with its beautiful chain as I waited for the post man to knock, it's arrived so must finish it! I will be making sea glass seaweed again as this has turned out stunning. I love looking at it and touching it, some lucky girl will be wearing it.
