$20.00 - Item#N018WEST

ON SALE NOW $15.00

Jasper and turquoise pendant with sterling silver Western-style heart, on leather cord. This piece was definitely inspired by the years I spent growing up, living, and traveling in the desert region of the American Southwest — the turquoise blue skies, the bands of brown and red rock and sand in the hills, the spirit of freedom in the great wide open. This necklace is one-of-a-kind (OOAK), only one available, designed and handmade in my private studio. The item you see here is exactly the item you will receive. All of the metal bits are sterling silver. Necklace is adjustable between 17 and 18 inches, with trigger clasp. Gift boxed.

In folklore, turquoise represents the spirit of the sky. Jasper is said to bring protection, comfort, and justice to the wearer.

These ceramic vials are great diffusers — perfume oils evaporate through the cork (corks may leak, please use caution when filling or wearing). They are also great for holding small treasures and fairy dust, or remove the cork and fill with small flowers. Hang in bathrooms, from rear-view mirrors, in windows, or anywhere! Vials are about 1-1/2 to 2 inches high, including cork (images slightly enlarged to show detail). Each vial hangs from white satin cord. One of each ceramic vial is available — the items you see in the pictures are the exact items you will receive. I didn’t make these, they are left over from the days when I used to sell retail items in addition to my own jewelry, but I did add the accent beads and cords.
