Secret Spiral Ceramic Pendant

This dainty "Secret Spiral" pendant was created using an impression from a sea shell from our family collection. No two glazed pieces ever come out of the kiln the same, so each hand carved piece is truly unique. This pendant hangs from an 18" ball chain. A gift box is included with your purchase.

Vintage Copper and Purple Swarovski Crystal Earrings


Filigree beads and headpins made from vintage copper, give this stunning pair of earrings their character. A gorgeous deep purple Swarovski crystal sits atop each vintage copper bead. For some reason, my camera makes the Swarovski beads look blue, but they are in fact purple.

Copper has long been thought to have healing properties, and many people believe that copper has the ability to conduct spiritual energy back and forth from individuals, the mind, crystals, auras, and the spirit world. Some New Age followers also combine it with their stones and crystals to “align” the properties of the crystals

Celtic Rampant Lion Ceramic Pendant

I created this Celtic Rampant Lion piece from earthenware clay. It's been glazed with a purple colored glaze to have the appearance of an ancient relic. The bead is a matte glass crow bead.

What is the significance of the Rampant Lion symbol?

According to Wikipedia, the lion is a common charge in heraldry. It traditionally symbolizes bravery, valour, strength, and royalty, since traditionally, it is regarded as the king of beasts.
