Insight Earrings
These earrings are a winning combination of beautiful African Jade rondelles and African copper rounds and tiny heishi beads. They hang on hand forged Sterling Silver earwires. For centuries, Jade was thought to be a single gemstone, but in 1863 two types were recognized: Jadeite and Nephrite. Nephrite is more common, but both types of Jade are tough, fine-grained rocks, suitable for carving. Jade is known as the "dream stone" and a "stone of fidelity". Jade brings realization to ones potential and devotion to ones purpose and is the symbol of tranquillity and wisdom. Jade is said to possess yang (the vital masculine principal) and in China, it was believed to impart immortality. When worn as amulet jewelry, Jade prevents nightmares, heals many diseases, and prolongs life. Jade is also said to promote peace and confidence. It opens the qualities of mercy and compassion for all sentient beings, inspires awareness of the oneness of all that lives. Jade is best known for it’s ability to open and heal the heart; freeing one from anger, selfishness, and greed. Jade also encourages service to others and the planet. In Buddhism, Jade is known to help bodhisattvas and those on the path of enlightenment and stimulates the energy of Kwan Yin (the goddess of Compassion). Jade soothes the emotions, heals the hips and kidneys, and aids movement on one's life path. 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. What a stunning color combination in a piece of healing Jade gemstone jewelry! Length--1 inch drop.
