Green Prehnite and Pink Opal "Bounds of Love" Necklace
This necklace features a beautiful caged pink Opal wand with a green Prehnite teardrop cabochon at the top, surrounded by spikes beneath a large round bail. Set in pure electroformed copper, and hung a pure copper cable chain with a copper-plated brass lobster clasp. Hand dipped in Liver of Sulfur to darken the copper, hand polished to bring out the high points.
BOUNDS OF LOVE:
You protect your heart. You set your boundaries in love and strength. You deliberately reject the assumptions that would have you accommodate others to your own detriment.
May your boundaries be impenetrable, a warding field around you that repels and deflects those who would usurp your power. May you resist attacks to your sense of self worth and self esteem. You set your limits, you enforce them. You exercise your courage and power to revoke access to those who do not respect you.
Thus your fortified heart gives love freely and without fear, and those who may access it may bask in the acceptance they deserve.
Prehnite speaks of heart opening, facilitating heart healing while maintaining equilibrium during shadow work. The embodiment of “Know Thyself”.
Pink Opal embodies self-love, especially during difficult times, when you may feel the least loveable. May it serve as a reminder that you are still deserving of love and protection, and that you are always allowed to keep yourself safe and prioritize your own care.
MEASUREMENTS:
The pendant measures 5 1/2” from the top of the bail to the point of the wand. The bail and spikes span 3 5/8”, and the wand is 1” at its widest. Chain length is 16” with the option of an 8” extender.

ELECTRO MAGIC:
I create jewelry and curiosities by "growing" copper onto crystals and other organics using an alchemical hybrid process: Electroforming. In my cauldron of neon blue electrolyte solution, I brood over, coax, and observe my creations as they begin to take shape. The process takes twelve hours, up to three days, with each piece forming bumps, nodules, lines, and deep grooves along the way. Some of my pieces are darkened with a Liver of Sulfur solution and polished with oil; others are left shiny and bare. All of my pieces are left unsealed, which allows them to continue to age and oxidize, giving you a living, breathing adornment that is truly dynamic and ever-changing.
CARE FOR YOUR PIECE:
Please handle your handmade jewelry with care; avoid dropping it or inflicting heavy trauma or stress. While copper is sturdy enough for daily wear, it is a softer metal and can be misshapen under stress. Crystals and gemstones, especially in raw form, also need to be treated kindly. Avoid submersion in water and direct exposure to lotions, oils, perfumes, and harsh cleaners. These can permanently discolor some stones or tarnish the copper. To clean your jewelry, simply buff gently with a soft cloth to remove perspiration and oils. Some people with certain chemistry experience temporary discoloration of the skin when wearing copper jewelry, especially on the fingers and the back of the neck. This is the "Green Ghost" of oxidation and can be washed off the skin with soap and warm water, if you desire.
NATURAL STONES:
The crystals I use are hand-picked and inspected by me personally before I put them into jewelry. As they are natural treasures from the earth, some inclusions, fractures, pitting, mineral deposits, and other irregularities are very common. It is my belief that these imperfections add to the mystery and charm of these creations - just like us, they are flawed.
Flashes of light in stones such as Opal, Rainbow Obsidian, Rainbow Moonstone, Labradorite and others are often best observed from a certain angle or in certain light; however, I do work to orient my stones so that they will shine their brightest when worn.
