Give Peas A Chance Go Veg copper handstamped pendant

Give Peas A Chance Go Veg copper handstamped pendantDon't you just love playing upon words?

The larger circle in this pendant says "GIVE PEAS A CHANCE" and the smaller one says "GO VEG". The two are linked together with copper wire which carried three Jade "PEAS". :)

The copper has been put through an antiquing patina process which has brought out some flashes of very pretty rainbow colors. Especially on the "GO VEG" part. Haven't been able to capture it on camera so well. You need to see it in person to admire the colors completely.

Length of pendant: a little more than 2 1/2 inches (6.6 centimeters).

BLISS silver and amethyst stamped oval pendant

BLISS

My very first stamped silver piece. The moment I saw this sterling silver oval blank I fell in love with it! I could visualize a beautiful pendant and immediately swiped it up.

I hand stamped the word BLISS onto the oval, along with a super-cute, tiny double heart design. Then I hammered it to add texture. I wrapped the bail with twisted fine silver wire and added a gorgeous, high quality, purple faceted amethyst for an extra bling. The charm clinks against the oval and makes a pleasant sound. :)

I finally put the pendant through an antiquing patina process and hand polished it to bring out all the details beautifully. I'm particularly pleased with the way the twists in the fine silver wire are highlighted!

The pendant has been charged with Reiki to enhance the amethyst's metaphysical healing properties.

This pendant would make a wonderful gift if you aren't too tempted to keep it for yourself. :)

Length: 2 1/18 inches (5.2 centimeters) including the bail.

Every Existence Would Exist In Thee - Charlotte Bronte quote necklace

Every Existence Would Exist In Thee - Charlotte Bronte quote necklaceMrs. Pillai was my favorite English teacher at high school. In our 11th grade, we studied Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte under her and she had a way of bringing out the depth and passion in that dark story. During one of the classes she told us a bit about Emily Bronte's life and about her sister Charlotte Bronte and then she proceeded to quote this beautiful verse from a poem written by Charlotte Bronte:

"Though earth and man were gone,
And suns and universes ceased to be,
And Thou were left alone,
Every existence would exist in Thee."

That verse made a huge impression on me and has stayed with me all this time.

After all these years, when I was pondering on what beautiful words to inscribe on my necklace, the quote popped into my head and I knew I had to use it!

I created the pendant on a heart shaped thick (18 gauge) copper base by hand stamping the words "EVERY EXISTENCE WOULD EXIST IN THEE", then I hammered and textured it. Then attached it to a solid copper cable chain with a lobster clasp.

Charlotte Bronte Quote NecklaceI put the necklace through an antiquing patina process to add depth to the designs and hand polished it to bring out the details and give it an old world charm.

Finally a gorgeous, deep red, dyed onyx charm as been attached to the bottom of the heart to give it that extra dash of elegance.

Length of chain: approximately 16 inches (41 centimeters)
Heart size: 1 7/8 inch (4.8 centimeters)
Pendant length including the onyx charm: 3 1/2 inches (9 centimeters)

On Ne Voit Bien Qu'Avec Le Coeur - Le Petit Prince quote necklace

le petit prince quote necklaceDuring my years of learning French at the Alliance Française de Bangalore, I had the good fortune of having many wonderful teachers, all with their own style of making the language beautiful for us. The one person who was MOST inspirational, with her passion for French and for teaching, was Mrs. Vidya Suresh. She is one of those teachers who you look at and think, "that's who I want to be when I grow up!" :)

During her course, she introduced us to a story close to her heart, Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and read us a beautiful quote from it.

"On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

This means, "One cannot see well but with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes".

Such a simple expression pregnant with meaning!

When I decided to start creating jewelry with quotes on it, this was the very first quote that came to mind and I made the necklace immediately.

I created the pendant with two heart shaped, thick (18 gauge) copper bases. I hand stamped the words "ON NE VOIT BIEN QU' AVEC LE COEUR" and hammered and textured them. Then I attached the small heart to the large one with fine copper wire, accented by a few copper rounds beads and a delicate handmade polymer clay rose in a deep red (burgundy) color.

Then I attached the pendant to a solid copper cable chain with a handmade copper clasp.

I put the necklace through an antiquing rainbow patina process to add depth to the designs and hand polished it to bring out the details and give it an old world charm.
