Each is unique. Each is made by me, by hand up here in the mountains of Montana and brought directly to you from me at a fraction of the retail boutique prices!     Mystery, Moonlight and Shimmering Mist are called to mind while gazing at this new and not to be recreated Wire Art Amulet Necklace!   Seraphinite or Angel Stone as it's also called, glimmers in shades of deep forest green and silvery 'feather' patterns. This flat topped freeform oval cab was shaped by a lapidary living here in the US!   Wrapped in solid square sterling silver wire with a simple bit of swirly wire art at the top, swings beautifully from the incredible strand on a rabbit ear style bail that is directly wired into the pendant's frame. The wire art does not overpower the stone, but rather enhances the feather patterning. This style of cab is not thick in the center so the weight is minimal.   The beads on the strand are all from my very Private Stash of rare and hard to find beads! Nicely thick 10 mm coin beads of Seraphinite that took me over a year to find are patterned with the most incredible Blue Fire Faceted Moonstone hand cut Briolettes and rondelles. I have not seen moonstone of this quality in years. I've had the rondelles for over 8 years, the briolettes for over 5. The two stones have that special fantasy look of a fairytale forest under a full moon!   The sterling silver rounds used are my favourite 'disco ball' style beads that add even more sparkle to the strand! Brite Finish Bali beadcaps add that Old World look that finishes off the piece perfectly!   Clasp is a very lovely heavy cast Fancy Sterling Silver Hook/Eye assembly with a lacy look to compliment the patterning in the stones. Very easy to use and quite secure.   Strung on 49 strand - 7X7 - highly kink resistant cable that is one of the BEST in the industry! It lays along the wrist or neck like silk! Double crimped for extra security. Sterling crimps/crimp covers are also used. Sterling cable anchors or wire protectors as they are also called, are used on the ends for an ultra professional finish and extra long wear.   All of the silver used in this necklace is sterling silver.   Please inquire for the availability of mathing/coordinating items.     As always quality materials, expert construction methods and attention to detail are evident in all of my exclusive jewelry designs and unique gift items! Retail value is $255 and up depending upon venue.     Our eBay prices on most items are at wholesale. Folklore varies widely between different cultures and traditions. The information offered here is by no means complete and is presented for its historical interest and is a curio only.     All of my items are prepared and cleansed in the traditional manner and are ready for YOU to ignite the energies and attune them to your special vibes :) Or just put them on and wear with intent and love.     The combination of Seraphinite & Moonstone creates a synergy that is wonderful for communications, meditation, dreamwork and all forms of divinations. This is fast becoming one of my all time favourite combos with sterling for study too as it helps me greatly to focus on the task at hand yet to be able to see the patterns and beyond the 'moment' when performing critical thinking tasks and writing.   Seraphinite - Chakras associated are primarily the 6, 7 and 8. Element is Air. Often called the Angel Stone as it can be used as a focus/bridge in deep meditation for angel contact and communication. VERY useful in heightening awareness, psychic ability, deep dream states for lucid dreaming and astral travel. In the awake state, Seraphinite is wonderful for aiding clear communications and Synthesis Thinking Patterns when seeing the 'whole story' is paramount. A good stone for anyone who is an investigator as it also helps maintain focus on the issues as well as opening the vista to keep tunnel vision at bay. Wear or use as focus during meditation, tarot or other diviniation and as a talisman when calling up on the angelic realm for any reason in ceremony or ritual. This is a fairly new stone from the Korshuhnovskaia mine near Lake Bikal in Eastern Siberia, Russia. So far this is the only place on Earth this fabulous deep green stone with feathery patternings in a silvery green that show wonderful chatoyance. It is a type of chlorite called chlininclore. Moonstone - Chakras - Third Eye - Crown. Element - Water. A lovely feldspar found in brown, peach, pink, yellow, greens, white, clear, silvery grey known as 'black' and nearly clear with lots of blue flash called 'rainbow'. Aids in intuition, psychic development, mental clarity. An excellent stone to use to enhance dreaming. Eases stress in times of emotional upheaval and change. Love. Mystery. Healing. Movement through stages of life and change. The symbol of the Moon. Associated with many Ancient Goddesses. Silver - Element - Water. Planetary Influence - The Moon. The Utmost 'feminine' of all metals. Extremely receptive. Brings Love and Harmony. Opens the psychic and intuitive centers. Lunar energies of tides and cycles.

You must file your own damage claims and work with the USPS to recover damages, I can't file damage claims for you and the USPS is the one who pays, not the seller. I will assist or file for non receipt (lost) packages but there is a waiting period imposed by the USPS of several weeks before a lost package form can be filed. Sometimes buyers must also request a search from the delivery end also.Signature Confirmation is required for all packages valued at $200 or more. Non-US SalesNon-U.S. Buyers Please Read Before Bidding or PurchasingPlease be sure that your country does not restrict any of the items used in finished designs or individual beading supplies etc that you may wish to purchase from me. Some countries impose tariffs and fees and buyer is responsible to pay their own country's import fees and to know in advance if an item is restricted. Each country is different and I just can't remember all of them! So YOU check with your postal service to find out if an item is importable to your location. Also be aware that your country may have import fees that they will collect from you at time of postal pickup/delivery.All buyers outside the U.S. must contact me BEFORE bidding OR buying or risk having your purchase/bid cancelled.
