When I was a child, I got briefly in contact with certain gemstones – I got a moonstone, turquoise, onyx and lapis lazuli rings as a gift (I still own them all) and was intrigued by various meanings and interesting stories related to those stones. My confidante and I believe the only person whose handmade jewelry relates to my personal taste is Maja from the Bee's Bracelets Facebook page. I love every piece of jewelry she makes and I have two new pieces to show you that truly captured my heart and my imagination. Bee's Bracelet made out of Labradorite is a stunner and ever since I started wearing it, I just cannot seem to put it down. Labradorite was first discovered in Labrador, Canada, by Moravian missionaries in 1770 who named it for the area. Lore of the Inuit peoples claim Labradorite fell from the frozen fire of the Aurora Borealis – what a lovely thought. The stone, usually gray-green, dark gray, black or grayish-white, is composed in aggregate layers that refract light as iridescent flashes of peacock blue, gold, pale green, or coppery red. It is a symbol of intuition, meditation and aura which protects us as a shield from any negativity from our environment or from negative people. It's also a little something that regulates hormones during ‘that time of the month’. I'll report back in a few days to verify if my hubby agrees (lol).
Kada sam bila dijete, nakratko sam dosla u dodir sa dragim kamenjem pri dobitku prstenja na poklon koje je sadrzavalo mjesecev kamen, tirkiz, onliks i lapis lazuli (jos uvijek imam te prstencice). Vec od tada, koliko god kratak taj dodir sa njima bio – jednostavno je ostalo interesovanje za razicitim vrstama dragog kamenja ali i simpaticnih prica koje su vezane za njihovo porijeklo/ znacenje. Osoba u koju imam povjerenja ali i jedna od rijetkih osoba ciji se rucno radjeni nakit poklapa sa mojim licnim ukusom je Maja sa Bee's Bracelets Facebook stranice. Svaki komad koji je izlozila mi je bio interesantan te zaokupio moje srce i paznju. Narukvica od labradorita mi je zaista posebna i otkako sam je pocela nositi, uopste se ne odvajamo jedna od druge. Labradorit je otkriven na Labradoru (Kanada) od strane moravskih misionara davne 1770. godine. Inuiti (Eskimi) imaju lijepu pricu o ovom kamenu – za njih, on je pao sa neba kao ledena vatra Aurore Borealis. Kamen je obicno sivo-zelen, tamno siv, crn ili sivkasto-bijele boje. Sastavljen je od slojeva koji prelamaju svjetlost i kreiraju prelijevanje zlatne, paun plave, svijetlo zelene ili bakarno crvene boje. Labradorit je simbol intuicije, meditacije i aure koju stiti od negativne energije iz okoline ali i od negativnih osoba. Takodjer se smatra da pomaze pri kontroli i utjecaju hormona na zenu tokom ‘onih dana u sedmici’. Javiti cu vam se sa mislju muza, da li se on slaze sa ovom tvrdnjom (lol).
The singular gemstone you see is the Tiger's Eye stone. Tigers Eye Stone is a quartz crystal with lovely bands of yellow-golden color through it. This is a powerful stone that aids harmony and balance, and helps you to release fear and anxiety. The largest numbers of Tiger Eye Stones are found in South Africa. Its color is yellow brown to golden brown and it is very attractive with lovely bands of color through it. In feng shui, tigers eye is used for its protection and clearing properties. Because tigers eye has strong protective qualities, one excellent placement of this stone is near the front door or a big window. A couple of smooth tigers eye tumbled stones in your pocket or purse might be a more practical idea if you do not like to wear jewelry. That's exactly what I do – keep it in my purse. Whether you believe or not in all these properties, no one can deny that these gemstones are aesthetically very attractive. You'd be surprised how many compliments I've received on my bracelets, earrings and necklace pendants made out of gemstones. I think they give a nice, personal touch to any outfit and if they do anything that it is believed they do – that's just icing on the cake.
Samostalni kamen koji vidite je Tigrovo oko koji je kvarc-kristal sa krasnim trakama zuto-zlatne boje kojima je prosaran. Cesto se navodi da je ovo snazan kamen koji promovira harmoniju, balans te pomaze kod otklanjanja straha i anksioznosti. Najveca kolicina tigrovog oka dolazi iz Juzne Afrike. U feng shui-ju se tigrovo oko koristi u svrhu zastite i prociscenja. Zbog tih navodno snaznih djelovanja, pozeljno je postaviti ga blizu ulaznih vrata ili velikog prozora. Ukoliko nakit ne nosite, nije lose nositi jedan ili vise komada tigrovog oka u torbi ili dzepu. I to je upravo ono sto ja radim – nosim svoje tigrovo oko u torbi. Bilo da vjerujete ili ne vjerujete u istinitost ovih navoda glede djelovanja i/ili znacenja dragog kamenja, tesko je poreci da su vizuelno krasni. Iznenadile bi se koliko sam komplimenata dobila na racun svih narukvica, nausnica i privjeska za ogrlicu do sada i to od najrazlicitijih tipova osoba. Mislim da ovakav nakit daje lijep licni pecat bilo kojoj odjevnoj kombinaciji a ako zaista cine desetinu onoga sto sam citala – to bi bio slag na torti. Posto ste me u mnogo navrata upitale za cijene, situacija je otprilike slijedeca; ovisno o velicini kamenja cijene narukvica variraju izmedju 13KM, 15KM i 20KM. Za vas imam jedno malo iznenadjenje u vidu darivanja na Meteo Beauty Facebook stranici – imate priliku osvojiti lijepu narukvicu sa Swarovski kamencicima. Ako ste zainteresovane, svakako da cemo Maja i ja cijeniti vasu podrsku i nadam se, dobro se zabaviti.
