MOON GODDESS SHAWL PEG Artemis or
Diana Moon Goddess w/ Ocean Jasper. Diana was the Goddess of the wild, of
the hunt. Jasper was a favorite of the Ancient Greeks, the name comes from
the Greek Iaspis, meaning spotted stone. They believed it gave you the
courage to speak out, and trust your abilities. Jasper is abundant and
found in many varieties. This is Ocean Jasper from Madagascar named for
the wavy patterns of grey/green/white and cream with flashes of
iridescence, it looks mysterious and wild and each bead is different. |

LADY GODIVA SHAWL PEG She is not a
Goddess, but rather a fairly recent (1400) historical figure. We all know
the story, historians agree that she did exist and sort of grudging agree
that she really did ride through the market at Coventry England at noon on
her favorite horse and wearing only her long beautiful hair. Historians
generally like to debunk all our folktales! She was a headstrong,
outspoken and ambitious woman, at a time when most woman were not. She
made her famous ride as a sort of penance, to convince her husband to
reduce the tax or toll on his tenants. Smoky Quartz is the stone, believed
to help the wearer achieve their personal goals. $20 |
 |
GODDESS SHAWL PEG Choose from some of the oldest known gems used for
adornment - Pearls, Amber& Turquoise: Blue Tinted Cultured Fresh
Water Pearl - The pearl is one of the June birthstones. It is said to
improve self-worth and help people see themselves. It is an emblem of
modesty, chastity and purity, and symbolizes love, success and happiness. Mother-of-Pearl
Bead - looks like the moon with the Goddess reaching up to it. Organic
Amber Chip Bead - Amber is considered a healing or protective stone,
and is said to bring luck, as well as improving eyesight. Sleeping
Beauty Turquoise Beads - from the Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona. It
is considered world-wide to be the finest grade Turquoise available. $20 |
 |
Triskele shawl peg. With Green Turquoise for a soft dreamy green that
looks like the hills of Ireland. The Celts used Turquoise extensively in
their jewelry. Turquoise is also considered a protective and healing
stone, and is said to enhance the joy of life. $20 |
 |
FAIRY SHAWL PEG. With feminine Rose Quartz. Quartz feels cool to the
touch, and that may be why the Greeks thought it was fossilized ice!
Rose Quartz is one of the most desired forms, and the pale cool color is
caused by iron and titanium impurities in the natural stone. Often
called the "love stone", Rose Quartz is said to open the heart
chakra to all forms of love: self-love, family love, platonic love and
romantic love. $20 |
 |
DOVE SHAWL PEG With intense blue Lapis Lazuli
beads swirled with Quartz inclusions (and specks of Iron and Copper).
They look like tiny representations of the Earth, symbolizing a wish
for world peace. These were mined in Afganistan and polished in China,
imported by a merchant in Washington State, then purchased by Nancy,
so they have been around the world! Lapis Lazuli is said to be a stone
of truth and friendship. It is reputed to bring about harmony in
relationships. $20 |
 |
Moon & Stars shawl
peg With Aqua Marine Chip Beads that look like the
sky. These beads came from a vintage bracelet purchased at an estate
sale. They may actually be Blue Topaz, it is hard to tell the
difference. Aqua Marine are the Latin words for sea water, and this
stone is said to protect you from the perils of the sea. $20 |
|

CREATIVITY/PLAYFULNESS The
Nymph reminds us of our creative and playful side so Blue
Adventurine seemed right. This is color variation of Chalcedony and is
named for the Italian word adventura or "by chance". It is a
lovely soft translucent blue and was used to stimulate creativity and
is said to enhance the wearers awareness of personal strengths.
$18 or put together a set of set for $94. |
| LOVE/SEXUALITY Venus is the
Goddess of love. She goes very well with her stone of Red
Carnelian, a form of Agate. This stone was considered sacred by the
Egyptians, their tombs are full of Carnelian jewelry as they felt it
had tremendous power in the afterlife. During life it was used to
combat infertility and impotency and is said to bring passion to the
wearer. It is also considered a balancing stone for woman. $18 or put
together a set of set for $94. |
| INDEPENDENCE Artemis/Diana
Moon Goddess w/ Ocean Jasper. Diana was the Goddess of the wild,
of the hunt. Jasper was a favorite of the Ancient Greeks, the name
comes from the Greek Iaspis, meaning spotted stone. They believed it
gave you the courage to speak out, and trust your abilities. Jasper is

WISDOM The wise Goddess
is accented with Moonstone. This is a form of Felspar, found mostly in
India, where it is considered sacred. They believe if you hold a piece
of Moonstone under your tongue, while standing under a full moon ~ you
can tell the future. Wearing it keeps your memories true and helps you
make wise choices. Geologically Moonstone forms slowly in layers, so
it displays areas of opaque and translucent reflection, and flashes of
moving iridescence. It picks up whatever color it is worn with. $18 or
put together a set of set for $94. |
| NURTURER Isis is an ancient
Goddess whose influence came to be seen throughout the world, even
in Christian religions. She is the nurturer, the protector of mothers
and children. Her stone of Lace Blue Agate was used throughout the
ancient world to increase the wearer’s compassion. $18 or put
together a set of set for $94. |
| ACHIEVEMENT Lady Godiva is
our achiever. She is not a Goddess, but rather a fairly recent (1400)
historical figure. We all know the story, historians agree that she
did exist and sort of grudging agree that she really did ride through
the market at Coventry England at noon on her favorite horse and
wearing only her long beautiful hair. Historians generally like to
debunk all our folktales! She was a headstrong, outspoken and
ambitious woman, at a time when most woman were not. She made her
famous ride as a sort of penance, to convince her husband to reduce
the tax or toll on his tenants. Smoky Quartz is the stone, believed to
help the wearer achieve their personal goals. $18
