Ocean Dreamer's Jewelry

*SOLD* Zen Mountain Necklace

A dramatic set of seven stunning lampwork beads from Carol Holaday ( CarolHoladay.com); return false;>CarolHoladay.com ) stand together with copper plated high fired ceramic spacer beads from Greece and beautiful handmade Hill Tribe Silver beads set off by heavy dark chocolate brown Greek leather. Greek leather is known for it’s smooth finish, consistent color and extra soft & supple texture from the first time it’s worn.

Each of these lampwork beads are unique yet all are created using only ivory & black glass plus silver leaf. It’s amazing to see the colors she creates in these beads.....my photos don’t do them justice, they’re more splendid in real life! At the sterling silver clasp is a graceful little Hill Tribe Silver charm with tribal symbol.

Silver can be used as a mirror to the soul and help you see yourself from the outside without judgement. Hill Tribe silver is pure, fine silver (.999) produced under fair trade regulations by a group of Karen Hill Tribe villagers in Northern Thailand. The Karen silversmiths are taught to carefully handcraft each design from scratch, using this high-content silver. They learn to give each design a unique appearance only seen in their own creations and they skillfully melt, pour, mold and stamp their beads by hand. They have passed down their silver work skills and traditions and today, each handmade ornament is a unique masterpiece that represents centuries of Karen culture and art. Often, the jewelry is engraved with plant, animal, or geometric designs, symbolizing their direct connection to their land and water. Choosing Karen silver is much more than buying jewelry of rare distinction. Your purchase also helps preserve the timeless culture, art, religion, and language of the gentle Karen people. Because it is handcrafted each bead and piece is distinct and slightly different.

Copper is an excellent energy conductor and sends and amplifies thoughts. It can open the heart center and thereby create total awareness of the self and generate a capacity for tremendous psycho-spiritual self-confidence and growth. Physiologically it is believed that Copper helps all forms of rheumatism, arthritis, and disorders of the intestinal tract. Copper also strengthens the Pineal and Pituitary glands and increases flexibility of bone tissue such as ligaments, cartilages, and tendons. This can aid in the prevention of injury for those who are athletes. Energetically speaking, Copper is highly conductive and also activates the body’s electro-magnetic properties and sends and amplifies thoughts. Copper’s conductive energies are at the heart of it’s power, both physically and spiritually. Because this crystal metal doesn’t hold a charge, but instead, sends or conducts it on, it is a very useful for projecting and directing energy and healing work.
