Gifts for Her–Emerald and Handmade

Emerald

There was nothing as brilliant as the Emerald City, and that was due to the greens that radiated from this cut crystal. It is the stone of the heart and associated with love and mercy for all living beings. The Chinese goddess Quin Yin, the goddess of universal love and inner beauty, is also associated with the emerald.

A stone of wisdom and abundance, it also has healing powers and considered an aphrodisiac. It is said to regulate eye pressure, which means that many a jeweler will keep this stone on their worktable while working on tiny pieces. Meditation while holding an emerald can produce excellent results. When coupled with gold, it is an outstanding and powerful stone that is said to help heal the back and spine.

The emerald is stated to offer balance to the spirit and the emotions. It can increase the energy level of the organs in the body like the heart. That is why it is the anahata chakra that balances all of the other chakra.

The green emerald is the stone of Taurus and means good luck and fortune to those who are born under the bull. If you are in need of some revitalization, hold it next to a ruby or other quartz for a burst of new strength and energy.

Whether you are a Taurus or not, the beauty of emerald green is something that brings renewal to all those who wear it.  Here are some delightful emerald green handmade gifts to choose from.

Gifts for Her–Agates and Handmade

Agates

Calming and balancing, the agate is said to bring harmony into the wearer's life. Relaxation is an attribute to this stone, and it makes meditation easy as it is said to stabilize the aura and help with stress.

The agate is a slightly translucent stone and the product of volcanic activity. It is said to bring forward any latent hidden. Stories are told that you will get boosts of energy from these stones, which is perfect for the artist and creative individual.

Another property of the agate is help with overwhelming pressures. The agate is an earth element, and it is also told that when you are faced with battles in life, carrying an agate in your pocket will help you face them head on and offer courage. Additionally, the agate is supposed to be capable of having positive effects on the blood, lungs and digestive system.

Again, I know nothing of these things, but what I do know is that I am very fond of the agate since it is a creative masterpiece with its delightful colors, patterns and variety. Whether a blue lace agate, fire agate or a white agate, the agate is a jewelry designer's perfect complementary stone. They can be tumbled, sliced or made into beads, and it will surely go with whatever other focal pieces you desire.

While these following gifts may or may not be agates, they will help create harmony for the woman you give them to, so shop for handmade gifts for Mom below.

Gifts for Her–Sapphire and Handmade

Sapphire
When it comes to prophetic wisdom, there is no stone that offers that along with protection over destiny like the sapphire. It is said to be one of four of the most precious gems worldwide. The other three being the diamond, ruby and the emerald.

The sapphire is believed to brings faith, joy, hope and traveling protections to those who wear them. The mind is open to intuition and beauty. The said hope that springs forth helps to give the deepest dreams and desires of our hearts. It fosters perseverance.

I am not certain about any of those things, but I was surprised to learn that the sapphire is not always blue; it also comes in purple, yellow, green and silky black.



Sapphires can be found in a number of countries, but the most beautiful of them all are from exotic places like Thailand, Madagascar, Brazil, Sri Lanka and India. Burmese sapphires are more expensive than others from places like Sri Lanka or Madagascar. Burmese sapphires are of the richest blue colors.

Indian sapphires are very rare due to the places where they were mined have been depleted for years.

According to some traditions, the 10 Commandments were written on a sapphire tablet. Now, that is not something that I had ever been taught; however, I did a bit of research and found that the Talmud does teach that, and there are plenty of mentions of sapphires in the Bible, so hey, why not?

The sapphire is said to be the joyful devotion to God, as well as bringing mental clarity to the wearer. They symbolize faith, truth and honesty. They help to give the wearer the gift of communication and bring a calmness to the spirit. It also offers the release from depression.

No matter how you view the sapphire, you must admit, it is a beautiful and colorful stone.

Here are some other gift ideas that will buoy the mood and give mom a reason to be joyful.

Sorry Folks, We’re Closed and Woodpeckers

Volume 17 Issue 4, April 2020


What's New in April?

Let me start off by saying that I hope that everyone is staying healthy and safe while we navigate our way through our health crisis.

Here in Florida, we are diligently working in order to keep ourselves and our tourist friends healthy. Of course, part of that means that our beaches are closed along with all of the other normal tourist attractions. Who would have thought we would have a closed Disney!? It’s like Wally World shutting down for the Griswalds. Sorry, folks! It certainly is not normal.

We have had a couple rocket launches, so that part is still operational.

Adjusting to being home and having to rely on others to bring us our essentials is taking a bit of getting used to, and in the meantime, I have done a lot of cleaning of my workspace while playing with new mediums and tools.

This woodpecker has decided our hickory tree is the perfect afternoon snack.

What’s New

Pillows: New Bible verse pillows are now part of my spring lineup.
Bracelet: New personalized pet charm bracelet with your pet and a monogram charm.

Keychains and Charms: Since I started making keychains, I decided that I should add the charms to my site, so you can buy them separately if desired.

You will find all of my beads, canes and finished jewelry on my website. www.bluemorningexpressions.com
Until next month,
Julie

Things to Look Forward To:

New Products:
Posters: I am working on my one word posters and wall hangings. There are also wood blocks to be added.

Loose Beads: I am focusing on making sets of beads again, so look for more beads to show up in my shop. I am not certain about the canes just yet, but I am planning on them for 2020.

Bead Sets: In addition to polymer clay beads, I want to put together complete sets for beading that include complementary beads, as well.

Gifts for Her–Jade and Handmade

Jade

When it comes to communication, the jade gemstone is the central stone needed during meditation. Jade is said to quiet the inner voice that keeps us from being able to effectively listen to other people.

Jade is considered a healing stone and is prevalent in established Eastern civilizations. This is why you will see many statues and goddesses carved of jade. The stone brings peace and calmness, and is said to exude beneficial energies. It is considered a royal stone.

By Simon Eugster --Simon 17:50, 11 April 2006 (UTC) - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=697548

You will find a that jade comes in a number of colors and has a translucent glow to it. Since it can be found in shades of green, creamy white, yellow and even a pink or red tint, it makes a very versatile stone to use in jewelry.

Whether you feel the need to hold the jade stone in your hand while discovering an inner peace, or you are more inclined to enjoy the stone for its purity and soft coloring, jade is an excellent addition to a piece of jewelry or a carving for home décor.

Other things that will generate beneficial energies include some wonderful handmade jewelry, home décor and Mother's Day gift ideas like the ones found below.
