Isis ~ Peacock nugget pearls with white fluorite points

We designed this a year ago, but had to wait until we found the perfect stones and pearls. This design is named after the Egyptian goddess Isis. Isis, a popular deity in ancient times was symbolic of feminine magic, motherhood, healing and nurturance. Peacock Grey Pearls for unlocking the magic within the ebb and flow of life. The White Fluorite points hold the power to release the past and soothe the spirit. Helps build energy. Accented with 22k vermeil brushed toggle clasp.
 

Florence earrings - Handcarved Lapis flowers with sterling silver and 14k gold filled accents

When we bought these gemstones we knew we loved them, but we weren't quite sure what to do with them.  Making them into earrings was definitely the best way to go...as they are stunning and different; just what we like.  They are called Florence as they look like something my favourite female vocalist of the moment would wear.  She is definitely a modern Goddess with her flame red hair flowing...I'm sure she channels Isadora Duncan.

Our first package!

So we assembled our first package on Saturday for our lovely family member Tanya who turned 40. She loved it...biased you say, well maybe just a bit. We decided on Fleur de Lis logo for Smashing Rocks! as it is the symbol of the Goddess. The three petals of the Lily signify Maiden, Mother and Crone (or wise woman as my mum prefers lol). We design and create all of our jewellery for the modern Goddess so it seemed highly appropriate. Anyway I've posted pics of our packaging for you to see.  We loved the seal as it indicates that the first person to open the package is you which makes it highly personal and intimate. Also, in the jewellery trade; any gemstone shipment from India usually comes sealed, so it's a wee nod to how gems have been shipped along the trade routes for many years.

Altea earrings - Turquoise/ Magnesite with Amazonite

I was dreaming of crystalline-blue Caribbean waters and pondered on the High Priestess of Atlantis and what she would have looked like. Beautiful and serene with gentle majesty. I designed a pair of earrings for her.
