$165.00
What could be more elegant to wear on your wedding day than hundreds of Swarovski crystals in a necklace that was made just for you!

This custom bridal necklace is designed to be worn very close to the neck as a choker. The Swarovski crystals will sparkle in every direction! I made this necklace by hand, weaving together over 200 genuine Swarovski crystals and finishing it off with a beautiful sterling silver filigree box clasp. I guarantee that this necklace is both stunning and sturdy!

Near the clasp there is a strand of crystals designed to gently dangle down the bride's back. It can be made as long or short as desired, and is finished with a Swarovski crystal faceted cube.

This necklace will be custom made for you. When you purchase this necklace I will contact you to get your sizing information. I am very good about communicating with my custom order customers! I will keep you updated with my timeline and I will often post photos of your piece on Flickr so you can view the progress (at my discretion).

Golden Crystal and Pearl Bracelet

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:27:46 -0500

$38.00
Classic pearls are mixed with sparkling crystals in this bracelet that is sure to be a favorite!

Cream colored Swarovski pearls, sparkling Swarovski crystal cubes and faceted round beads in “Golden Shadow”, and a coordinating charm attached to the gold-filled clasp make this a piece that any girl would love!

You can feel confident in purchasing this bracelet because it is made with the finest quality beads, and strung on high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof. It measures 7 ½ inches at its longest, but has an additional gold filled ring so that it may be worn slightly shorter.

A note about Swarovski pearls:
“Unlike synthetic glass pearls, Swarovski's crystal faux pearls have a leaded crystal core that makes them heavier, and Swarovski's pearl coating is similar to a natural pearl luster and is consistent in color. It is also resistant to perspiration, UV rays, perfumes, scratches and washing, and warms to the skin like real pearls do.”

Quartz Crystal Anklet

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:27:21 -0500

$16.00
I love this style of anklet! The gemstones can be seen from any direction, but it is still lightweight and affordable; and the dancing charm is so much fun!

This is a sturdy, earthy anklet that you will be able to wear often. It's made with natural quartz crystal chips, solid brass nugget beads and lightweight black seed beads.

Clear quartz stones are associated with the seventh, or crown chakra, which is located at the top of the head, and is the place of unification with the higher self, or the “Divine”.

The stones in this bracelet are natural so they will have some inclusions or minor flaws. I believe this adds to the beauty of the piece! I do not recommend wearing this piece in water. If cleaning is necessary, polish with a clean, dry cloth.

The metal barrel clasp easily twists on and off. I put a flirty handmade charm near the clasp.

The beads are strung on high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof. This anklet will fit an ankle with a measurement of up to just under 8 ½” (8 3/8”). The length of the anklet end to end is 9”. Please feel free to contact me if you prefer a different length.

These earrings are very lightweight and measure just over one inch (1 1/8”) top to bottom. I have a pair of these made in gold (vermeil) listed in my Etsy shop here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18584365

Men's Natural Turquoise Necklace

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:47:16 -0500

$48.00
Natural components and a magnetic clasp make this a perfect piece for a guy who wants a unique, masculine necklace!

The unique stabilized turquoise nuggets have a beautiful brown matrix. They are paired with large Bali sterling silver and shiny sterling silver seamless beads. The larger beads along the sides are blackstone, and the small black beads in between are painted wood.

The necklace is lightweight, has smooth edges and measures 19 ½”. It’s a good length for a guy who likes a shorter necklace. If you are unsure of how this will fit, please cut a string to match the length and try it on for fit.

From the Encyclo-bead-ia: “Turquoise is said to attract prosperity and success, to have the power to influence creative powers, and to enhance the ability to communicate. The stone has long been prized as a powerful talisman with healing properties. It is said that turquoise can help balance the throat chakra (the blue chakra), increasing resistance to viruses and helping to relieve sore throats, lung infections and the affects of allergies.”

This one of a kind necklace is strung on high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof. The strong sterling silver magnetic clasp makes this necklace really easy to put on. Please remember not to open the clasp by pulling straight on the necklace, but instead grasp the clasp itself and bend it in half until the magnets let go.

First Communion Bracelet

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:47:16 -0500

$13.00
A wonderful gift for a young girl making her first communion!

It’s hard to say which part she will like the most: The elegant white Swarovski crystal pearls, the Swarovski crystals that sparkle like diamonds, or the cute dangling sterling silver charm.

You will feel confident in giving this bracelet because it is made with the finest quality beads, and strung on high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof. The sterling silver spring clasp is very secure and the sterling silver split ring will not stretch open if the bracelet accidentally gets pulled on.

A note about Swarovski pearls:
“Unlike synthetic glass pearls, Swarovski's crystal faux pearls have a leaded crystal core that makes them heavier, and Swarovski's pearl coating is similar to a natural pearl luster and is consistent in color. It is also resistant to perspiration, UV rays, perfumes, scratches and washing, and warms to the skin like real pearls do.”

The standard size for this bracelet is 6 ¼” long. I have found this to be a good fit for a 7 year-old. (This item is not recommended for children younger than 5 years.) If you have a specific length you prefer just let me know and I will happily accommodate!

Peridot and Crystal Bracelet

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:44:25 -0500

$60.00
This original Shining Light Jewelry design combines my two favorite jewelry elements: the amazing sparkle of Swarovski crystals and the natural beauty of semiprecious gemstones.

Peridot is the traditional birthstone for August and is known as the “stone of friendship”. It is associated with the Heart Chakra, which is located at the center of the chest. This energy center is connected with the emotion of love. Peridot has been used traditionally to heal bruised egos, lessen anger, and prevent jealousy.

The stones in this bracelet are natural so they will have some inclusions or minor flaws. I believe this adds to the beauty of the piece! I do not recommend wearing this piece in water. If cleaning is necessary, polish with a clean, dry cloth.

This bracelet will fit up to a 6 ¾” wrist. I can extend the length if necessary. Please contact me for more information about resizing.

Merlot Garnet Earrings

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 23:12:12 -0400

$32.00
My personal style when it comes to earrings is light and earthy. So when I sit down to create them I try to keep them small, use natural materials, and pack them with interesting details.

These unique earrings are made with natural (not dyed) garnets and sterling silver earwires with garnet cabochons. Each garnet is on a sterling headpin with a small sterling bead and is securely wrapped. They measure 1 1/8” top to bottom.

Garnet is the birthstone for January. It is also associated with the first, or root, chakra that is located at the base of the spine. This energy center is the place of balance, patience, and strength. Garnets aid with feeling connected to the physical world and stability.

I will include a pair of wire keepers to make sure the earrings stay securely in your ear. Remember that these earrings are made by hand and are one of a kind!

Faceted Labradorite Earrings

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:46:52 -0400

$24.00
My personal style when it comes to earrings is light and earthy. So when I sit down to create them I try to keep them small, use natural materials, and pack them with interesting details.

These earrings are made with simple sterling silver earwires with silver ball details and two gorgeous faceted labradorite gemstones. The stones are on a decorative sterling headpin with a small sterling bead and are securely wrapped. They measure 1 inch top to bottom.

Labradorite is a beautiful grayish stone, and when the light hits it at the right angle, it sets off a gorgeous flash of blue, green or even orange and yellow. From the Encyclo-bead-ia: “Labradorite is a tremendously spiritual stone. …It is especially helpful for people who tend to overwork. It helps us regain our energy and aids our bodies and spirits in healing themselves. If you practice meditation (or would like to), focusing on labradorite can help you enter and maintain the meditative state. Like the sound and glistening beauty of a gentle rain, this gemstone quiets us physically, emotionally and spiritually.”

I will include a pair of wire keepers to make sure the earrings stay securely in your ear. Remember that these earrings are made by hand and are one of a kind!

Green aventurine is a stone associated with the Heart Chakra, which is located at the center of the chest. This center is connected with the emotion of love. Green aventurine is said to emit gentle vibrations, bringing a peaceful feeling and allowing you to radiate love energy for yourself and those around you.

Amethyst and Bells Mirror Tassel

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:26:35 -0400

$10.00
This tassel is made with two natural amethyst stones, purple Swarovski crystals, and two steel jingle bells. The small beads at the top of the tassel are charlottes, which are special Czech seed beads that have been cut on one side. This gives the bead a sparkling faceted look that is much more elegant than a simple round bead.

Amethyst is the stone associated with the Sixth, or Third Eye Chakra, which is the center for spirituality and intuition. It enhances feelings of joy and serenity, and promotes insight. Amethyst is also the birthstone for the month of February.

I have made this tassel with a barrel clasp. It twists together to make it easy to put on, and to keep it there securely. The beads are strung on clear nylon similar to fishing line, but made especially for beading. It measures 6 5/8 inches from end to end. There are 4 ½ inches between the clasp and the top crystal.

The places you can use this tassel are numerous! Hang it on backpacks, belt loops, in sunny windows, on doorknobs, or anywhere else that could use a pretty decoration!

Green Shell and Wood Necklace Unisex

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:26:35 -0400

$23.00
The inspiration for this necklace came from my son. He asked me to make him a necklace, but it had to be simple and include his favorite color, green. This is a somewhat fancier version of the one I made for him. It’s called Monster Green, named after my son’s favorite stuffed dinosaur.

I tried to keep it as natural as possible, so the black beads are painted wood, and the green bead in the center is dyed shell. The tribal looking beads are Bali sterling silver and the beads next to the shell and near the clasp are silver plated. This 20 ½ inch necklace is strung on high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof.

The metal magnetic clasp makes this necklace really easy to put on. Please remember not to open the clasp by pulling straight on the necklace, but instead grasp the clasp itself and bend it in half until the magnets let go.

*This necklace can also be customized. I have similar shell beads in pink and turquoise. If you are interested in ordering this necklace in a different color, please send me a convo. 

Garnet Choker

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 19:39:19 -0400

$21.00
Introducing my newest line: Super Short Chokers!

I paired my love of semiprecious gemstones and natural elements with my love of the choker necklace, and sat down to make several different combinations of this super short choker.

Did you notice the unique toggle clasp? Let me tell you, I have searched all over and haven’t seen anything like this one!

This necklace is available in two sizes. Please specify which one you want when ordering. The shorter one is pictured and measures 14 ¾” from end to end and will fit as 14 ¼”. It is made with a one inch section of natural garnet heishe beads with two brass beads on each side.

The longer one measures 17” from end to end and will fit as 16 ½”. It is made with a nearly 1 ¾” (1 5/8”) section of natural garnet heishe beads and also has brass beads.

On both necklaces the clasp is made with three garnets. The tiny jet black beads that make up the rest of the necklace are called charlottes, which are special Czech glass seed beads that have been cut on one side. This gives the bead a sparkling faceted look that is much more elegant than a simple round bead.

Garnet is the birthstone for January. It is also associated with the first, or root, chakra that is located at the base of the spine. This energy center is the place of balance, patience, and strength. Garnets aid with feeling connected to the physical world and stability.

Aside from being a short necklace for a teenager or adult, this would also be perfect for a little girl! Shorter necklaces are perfect when combined with longer pieces to complete this season’s layered look!

$22.00
This necklace collection is blogged here: http://shininglightjewelry.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Carnelian was believed by the Romans to be a stone of courage, bringing confidence and strength.

A small (11x9mm) smooth carnelian stone is the focus of this one of a kind necklace. The hand wrapped pendant hangs from a strand of transparent brown charlottes, which are special Czech glass seed beads that have been cut on one side. This gives the bead a sparkling faceted look that is much more elegant than a simple round bead.

All the metal parts are sterling silver. This necklace is a shorter length, measuring 16 inches If you are unsure of how this necklace will fit, I recommend cutting a string to measure 16” and checking that for fit before purchasing. If you require a bit of extra length I can attach more jumprings to extend up to a half-inch.

This necklace is strung on high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof.

At its shortest, this necklace measures 17” with the pendant section measuring an additional 2”. At its longest, it measures 18 ½”. I attached a handmade charm at the end of the chain to add weight to the end.

Turquoise Nugget Earrings

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:43:45 -0400

$24.00
These lightweight earrings measure 1 ¼” from the top of the sterling silver ear wires down to the bottom of the turquoise nugget. The nuggets have gorgeous brown matrix that give it a very natural, earthy feel. They are paired with beautiful sterling silver details.

From the Encyclo-bead-ia: Turquoise is said to attract prosperity and success, to have the power to influence creative powers, and to enhance the ability to communicate. The stone has long been prized as a powerful talisman with healing properties. It is said that turquoise can help balance the throat chakra (the blue chakra), increasing resistance to viruses and helping to relieve sore throats, lung infections and the affects of allergies.

I will also include a free pair of wire keepers to make sure the earrings stay securely in your ear.

Rainbow Amethyst Car Mirror Tassel

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 23:20:58 -0400

$10.00
This tassel is made with rainbow colored Swarovski crystals, a Swarovski helix crystal, a natural amethyst stone, and two steel jingle bells. The small beads at the top of the tassel are charlottes, which are special Czech seed beads that have been cut on one side. This gives the bead a sparkling faceted look that is much more elegant than a simple round bead.

Amethyst is the stone associated with the Sixth, or Third Eye Chakra, which is the center for spirituality and intuition. It enhances feelings of joy and serenity, and promotes insight. Amethyst is also the birthstone for the month of February.

I have made this tassel with a barrel clasp. It twists together to make it easy to put on, and to keep it there securely. The beads are strung on clear nylon similar to fishing line, but made especially for beading. It measures 7 inches from end to end. There are 3 inches between the clasp and the top red bead.

The places you can use this tassel are numerous! Hang it on backpacks, belt loops, in sunny windows, on doorknobs, or anywhere else that could use a pretty decoration!

This tassel is pictured here hanging from a rearview mirror in an automobile. Please check your state laws before hanging this tassel in your auto. Shining Light Jewelry assumes no liability regarding this.

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:31:14 -0400

$18.00
My personal style, when it comes to earrings, is light and earthy. So when I sit down to create them I try to keep them small, use natural materials, and pack them with interesting details.

Dark red natural (not dyed) garnets are richly paired with fancy Bali sterling silver beads in these lightweight earrings. The small beads, earring wires, and the headpin are all sterling silver as well.

Garnet is the birthstone for January. It is also associated with the first, or root, chakra that is located at the base of the spine. This energy center is the place of balance, patience, and strength. Garnets aid with feeling connected to the physical world and stability.

Silk and Brass Bracelet or Necklace

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 14:51:26 -0400

$12.00
Seven solid brass nugget beads (6mm) strung on a bright red hand-dyed silk cord. There is no clasp on this piece. It is meant to be tied on. I have reinforced the ends with jewelry glue to prevent fraying.

This piece can be worn as a necklace or as a bracelet. It measures 21 inches end to end. The nuggets fit on this cord perfectly, meaning they will not slide on their own, but you can move them to create your own pattern!

In time, this piece may develop some fraying and/or fading. This should be considered part of its character. It will become your own one of a kind piece of jewelry. I do not recommend wearing this necklace in water.

Tourmaline and Crystal Bracelet

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 17:48:59 -0400

$70.00
This bracelet design came out of a need for an economic use for these gorgeous tourmaline stones. An entire bracelet made of these stones could be very expensive! One very early morning before the sun was up, I imagined a way to combine a focal section of the tourmaline with my favorite crystal weaving technique and just had to get up and try it. The result was exactly what I had hoped!

The stones in this bracelet range from light green to dark green, pink and amber. They are natural so they will have some inclusions or minor flaws. I believe this adds to the beauty of the piece! I do not recommend wearing this piece in water. If cleaning is necessary, polish with a clean, dry cloth. All parts of the clasp and the silver beads are sterling.

This bracelet will fit up to a 6 ½” wrist. I can extend the length if necessary. Please contact me for more information about resizing.

Angel Wing Turquoise Necklace

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 19:23:26 -0400

$46.00
The Turquoise Angel Wing necklace is made with:

* Genuine faceted turquoise beads
* Sterling silver beads
* Sterling silver toggle clasp
* Swarovski crystal accents
* Sparkling charlotte beads
* Antiqued silver angel wing pendant

From the Encyclo-bead-ia: Turquoise is said to attract prosperity and success, to have the power to influence creative powers, and to enhance the ability to communicate. The stone has long been prized as a powerful talisman with healing properties. It is said that turquoise can help balance the throat chakra (the blue chakra), increasing resistance to viruses and helping to relieve sore throats, lung infections and the affects of allergies.

The small clear beads are charlottes, which are special Czech glass seed beads that have been cut on one side. This gives the bead a sparkling faceted look that is much more elegant than a simple round bead.

Because the stones I used in this necklace are natural, this piece can never be exactly duplicated. It is a genuine one-of-a-kind. The necklace measures 19 ½”. If you are unsure of how it will fit, I suggest cutting a string to measure 19 ½” and hold it up to see where it will sit on your neck. The beads are strung on high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof.

Quiet Spirit Labradorite Earrings

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:26:48 -0400

$35.00
My personal style when it comes to earrings is light and earthy. So when I sit down to create them I try to keep them small, use natural materials, and pack them with interesting details.

To make these earrings, I started with sterling silver filigree flower earwires and handpicked two natural labradorite stones that were similar in size and have exceptional flash. Each stone is on a decorative sterling headpin with a small sterling bead and is wrapped several times for a handmade rustic look. They measure 1 1/8” top to bottom.

Labradorite is a beautiful grayish stone, and when the light hits it at the right angle, it sets off a gorgeous flash of blue, green or even orange and yellow. From the Encyclo-bead-ia: “Labradorite is a tremendously spiritual stone. …It is especially helpful for people who tend to overwork. It helps us regain our energy and aids our bodies and spirits in healing themselves. If you practice meditation (or would like to), focusing on labradorite can help you enter and maintain the meditative state. Like the sound and glistening beauty of a gentle rain, this gemstone quiets us physically, emotionally and spiritually.”

I will include a pair of wire keepers to make sure the earrings stay securely in your ear. Remember that these earrings are made by hand and are one of a kind!

Sweet Moon Language Earrings

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:25:03 -0400

$35.00
My personal style when it comes to earrings is light and earthy. So when I sit down to create them I try to keep them small, use natural materials, and pack them with interesting details.

To make these earrings, I started with antiqued sterling silver button posts that have an earthy vine design. Then I added natural rainbow moonstone chips to a fancy sterling headpin and very securely hand wrapped them. When viewed at the right angle, rainbow moonstone gives off a stunning bright blue flash which is difficult to capture in photos. These earrings measure just under an inch (7/8”) top to bottom.

In Europe, moonstone is the sole birthstone for June. Moonstone is one of the stones associated with the Sixth, or Third Eye Chakra, which is the center for spirituality and intuition. Moonstone broadens our scope of vision, allowing us to see things that might not be immediately apparent. It enhances feelings of joy and serenity, and promotes insight. Maybe you will like it just because it is a beautiful stone!

Remember that these earrings are made by hand and are one of a kind!

Willow Bracelet

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:58:08 -0400

$43.00
I made this bracelet using smooth quartz crystal beads, white shell oval beads, and antiqued sterling silver beads stamped with an organic feeling willow leaf design. It’s very lightweight and flexible, and the neutral colors mean you can wear it often!

Clear quartz stones are associated with the seventh, or crown chakra, which is located at the top of the head, and is the place of unification with the higher self, or the “Divine”.

All of the metal is sterling silver. I have strung the bracelet using high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof. There are two rings in the clasp. Choose which one to attach the clasp to for the best fit for you. This bracelet will comfortably fit up to a 7 ¼” wrist. I have attached a handmade charm to the clasp for a bit of flirty fun!

The Serene Lotus Necklace

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:38:16 -0400

$35.00
The “Serene Lotus” necklace is the only one of its kind. I won’t make another one exactly like it.

This 19” necklace features:

In Buddhism, a lotus flower signifies the soul rising up from the mud of ego and materialism, through the waters of practice and experience, and up into the sunshine of enlightenment. The red lotus in particular also symbolizes love and compassion.

In Europe, moonstone is the sole birthstone for June. Moonstone is one of the stones associated with the Sixth, or Third Eye Chakra, which is the center for spirituality and intuition. Moonstone broadens our scope of vision, allowing us to see things that might not be immediately apparent. It enhances feelings of joy and serenity, and promotes insight.

Autumn Fade Necklace (Hessonite Garnet)

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:48:16 -0400

$38.00
The beauty is in the details of this necklace!

•Gorgeous hessonite garnet
•Elegant charm on clasp
•Swarovski crystal details
•Tiny Czech glass Charlottes

I have used beautiful hessonite garnet heishe in graduated shades as the focus of this simple yet stunning necklace. These beads are very interesting because they have a somewhat faceted surface. They are also featured in the coordinated charm that hangs from one of the clasp rings. All parts of the clasp are sterling silver.

The small brown transparent beads are charlottes, which are special Czech seed beads that have been cut on one side. This gives the bead a sparkling faceted look that is much more elegant than a simple round bead. Near the clasp you will find accents of Swarovski crystal in Smoked Topaz AB. “AB” stands for aurora borealis, which is a coating that gives the crystal an extra luminous sparkle.

This necklace measures 20 inches long and has two additional jump rings so it may be extended to 20 3/8”. It is strung on high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof.

Coordinating earrings are listed in my Etsy shop here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14767025

$35.00
A detailed sterling silver cross is surrounded by natural snowflake obsidian chips, with accents of sterling silver, black Swarovski crystals, and crystal clear charlotte beads.

Snowflake obsidian is black and grey, and is actually volcanic glass that forms as lava quickly cools. Its snowflake appearance is produced by internal crystallites. The neutral color combination means this necklace will coordinate nicely with any wardrobe.

Charlottes are special Czech seed beads that have been cut on one side. This gives the bead a sparkling faceted look that is much more elegant than a simple round bead.

Season of Spring Necklace

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 01:43:50 -0400

$27.00
Light and simple!

I made the charm out of turquoise and Peridot colored Swarovski crystals, and then attached it to a sterling silver circle link that is flat on one side.

The necklace is finished with clear Charlottes, which are special Czech seed beads that have been cut on one side. This gives the bead a sparkling faceted look that is much more elegant than a simple round bead.

All of the metal parts are sterling silver, including the trigger clasp. Near the clasp you will notice what look like small silver beads. These are crimp covers, used to neatly finish off the ends of the necklace. I think this gives the piece a refined, finished feel, and jewelry is all about how it makes you feel, right?

This is a shorter necklace, measuring 16”. The pendant hangs down about an inch. The beads are strung on high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof. I will be happy to work with you if you prefer a longer necklace length!

From the Encyclo-bead-ia: Turquoise is said to attract prosperity and success, to have the power to influence creative powers, and to enhance the ability to communicate. The stone has long been prized as a powerful talisman with healing properties. It is said that turquoise can help balance the throat chakra (the blue chakra), increasing resistance to viruses and helping to relieve sore throats, lung infections and the affects of allergies.

Peace on Silk Cord Necklace (customizable)

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 01:54:53 -0400

$22.00
“There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” ~A.J. Muste

This customizable necklace is a beautiful way to share this sentiment with the people around you.

Lately I have been very interested in experimenting with using materials other than beads in my jewelry making. I used two strands of hand dyed silk (using eco-friendly silk paint) to make this necklace.

Customize it!!
This necklace is unfinished so that you can choose the finished length and even change the color of the silk cord. In the photos, the necklace is strung on a bright turquoise cord. It is a bit greener than it appears in the photos. I have a few other colors you can choose from if you’d like something else instead. If you want a different color, please let me know which you prefer in the notes to seller section during checkout. In the first photo, the colors are: bright green, cantaloupe, purple, dark brown, forest green, wine, aqua, watermelon, black and red.

The shiny sterling silver peace sign pendant is flanked on either side by a shiny sterling silver bead that can be moved closer or farther away from center, however you prefer. All parts of the magnetic clasp are silver plated.

The necklace measures approximately 22 inches long, but if you prefer shorter, please let me know in the notes to seller section during checkout. I don’t recommend wearing this in water or while doing strenuous exercise. Water or excessive sweating will possibly cause the clasp to tarnish.

Feel free to contact me with any questions using the “Contact” link.

Angel Wing Tourmaline Necklace

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 00:46:56 -0400

$51.00
The Angel Wing necklace is made with:

* Genuine tourmaline gemstones
* Sterling silver beads
* Sterling silver toggle clasp
* Swarovski crystals
* Sparkling charlotte beads
* Antiqued silver angel wing pendant

There is quite a range of colors in this piece: dark green, mossy green, sky blue, pale pink, peach, amber and seafoam, but they all coordinate perfectly in this one of a kind necklace.

The small clear beads are charlottes, which are special Czech glass seed beads that have been cut on one side. This gives the bead a sparkling faceted look that is much more elegant than a simple round bead.

Because the stones I used in this necklace are natural, this piece can never be exactly duplicated. It is a genuine one-of-a-kind. The necklace measures 16 ¾", which is a shorter length. If you are unsure of how it will fit, I suggest cutting a string to measure 16 ¾” and hold it up to see where it will sit on your neck. The beads are strung on high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof.

Spirit in the Stillness Earrings Amethyst Turquoise Labradorite

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 15:47:40 -0400

$26.00
These one of a kind earrings are made to coordinate with the “Spirit in the Stillness” necklace listed here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14155286 .

To make these earrings, I started with sterling silver earwires and added natural amethyst beads, labradorite and turquoise heishe (pronounced hee-she), and amethyst colored Swarovski crystals. The beads are on a sterling silver headpin and are securely hand wrapped. They measure 1 3/8” top to bottom.

Amethyst is the stone associated with the Sixth, or Third Eye Chakra, which is the center for spirituality and intuition. It enhances feelings of joy and serenity, and promotes insight. Amethyst is also the birthstone for the month of February. Turquoise is associated with the throat chakra and is said to enhance communication.

Labradorite is a beautiful grayish stone, and when the light hits it at the right angle, it sets off a gorgeous flash of blue, green or even orange and yellow. From the Encyclo-bead-ia: “Labradorite is a tremendously spiritual stone. …It is especially helpful for people who tend to overwork. It helps us regain our energy and aids our bodies and spirits in healing themselves. If you practice meditation (or would like to), focusing on labradorite can help you enter and maintain the meditative state. Like the sound and glistening beauty of a gentle rain, this gemstone quiets us physically, emotionally and spiritually.”

I will include a pair of wire keepers to make sure the earrings stay securely in your ear. Remember that these earrings are made by hand and are one of a kind!

All About Love Bracelet

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:13:39 -0400

$28.00
Polished rectangles of natural pink rose quartz, along with sparkling faceted Czech glass, polished brass accents, and a vermeil toggle clasp make this a one-of-a-kind bracelet that any girl would love!

Rose quartz is a stone associated with the Heart Chakra, which is located at the center of the chest. This center is connected with the emotion of love and is where compassion, forgiving, and acceptance begin. Rose quartz is said to emit gentle vibrations, bringing a peaceful feeling and allowing you to radiate love energy for yourself and those around you.

Vermeil (pronounced ver-MAY) is sterling silver coated with 24-karat gold. It has a stronger bond and will therefore last longer than gold plated or even gold filled components. I have strung the bracelet using high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof. This bracelet measures 8” end to end but because of the size of the stones it will comfortably fit up to a 7” wrist.

The stones in this bracelet are natural so they will have some inclusions or minor flaws. I believe this adds to the beauty of the piece!

This bracelet is not intended for use by children as the brass beads may contain lead.

Crystals, Pearls, and a Red Red Rose Lanyard

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:12:20 -0400

$33.00
“WOW!” is what you’ll hear every time you wear this classy, flashy lanyard!

This is a one of a kind piece which will never be duplicated! It’s made from a gorgeous mix of beads, including freshwater pearls and crystal beads, which seem to flow out of the beautiful red metal rose. It is a bold lanyard and it’s going to take that perfect, bold person to be daring enough to wear it!

The beads are strung on high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof. This lanyard is long enough to be put on over the head, but a strong magnetic clasp will allow the lanyard to pull off instead of breaking in case it gets caught on something. The magnetic clasp makes this an especially great gift item for a nurse!

The lanyard is 15 ¾” long (on each side) from the clasp to the top of the star, then hangs another 2 inches to the bottom of the 23mm metal clip. Please let me know if you would prefer the metal clip substituted with a round clip (key chain style).

I will add California sales tax to all orders shipped to CA. For more information on Shining Light Jewelry, including store policies and jewelry care instructions and a note on Swarovski crystals, please read my profile.

Citrine and Gold Bracelet

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:12:20 -0400

$35.00
This bracelet is a rich blend of golden citrine with vermeil accents.

Vermeil (pronounced ver-MAY) is sterling silver coated with 24-karat gold. It has a stronger bond and will therefore last longer than gold plated or even gold filled components. I have strung the bracelet using high strength 49-strand nylon coated stainless steel, which is very flexible, kink resistant and waterproof.

Citrine is the modern birthstone for November. It is also associated with the third, or solar plexus, chakra that is located above the naval and below the chest. This energy center is the place of security and personal power.

The stones in this bracelet are natural so they will have some inclusions or minor flaws. I believe this adds to the beauty of the piece!

I do not recommend wearing this piece in water. If cleaning is necessary, polish with a clean, dry cloth.

Rhyolite and Quartz Crystal Bracelet

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:12:20 -0400

$29.00
I love this bracelet!!! The neutral color combination can be worn year ‘round, and the natural gemstones make a soft clicking sound whenever you move.

The polished Rhyolite focal bead is a beautiful combination of light and dark forest greens mixed with flecks of brown and crème. It’s a heavier stone but the clear quartz crystal chips really balance it out so that the focal stone doesn’t always end up facing down. The round beads are sterling silver.

Rhyolite represents change, variety and progress. It is said to light the fire of creativity within the soul and help with self-realization; it's believed to balance the emotions and increase self-respect, self-worth and the capacity to love.

This one of a kind bracelet will fit up to a 6 ¾” wrist comfortably. The beads are strung on two strands of stretchy bead cord and tied very securely. My stretch bracelets are made to withstand the stretching necessary to put them on, but please do not overextend them or they may break.

To make these earrings, I started with simple sterling silver earwires with silver ball details and added two gorgeous faceted smokey quartz gemstones. The stones are on a sterling headpin with two small sterling beads and are securely wrapped. They measure 1 1/8 inch top to bottom.

The translucent smokey quartz stones are a rich neutral brown that will coordinate with any season’s wardrobe. These would be great “everyday” (hence the name “Marketplace”) earrings!

I will include a pair of wire keepers to make sure the earrings stay securely in your ear. Remember that these earrings are made by hand and are one of a kind!
