Review: Rocks and Copper Pendant

I was lucky enough to win an Instagram competition run by RocksandCopperJC, run by Emily Livsey, a local Etsy seller who specialises in one of a kind handmade electroform crystal  and copper jewellery. I have followed her IG account for several years as she sells at local markets that are quite close to where I live. 

 I got to choose which stones I wanted in my pendant. I chose amethyst and Rose quartz,a traditional complimentary combination of stones. The pendant is made of brass. She kept updated during the jewellery making process and I received a beautiful, unique piece within a few days. 

I love my necklace. It is unique and one of a kind, not over the top but can be worn with so many outfits. The other items on her Etsy store are equally as stunning and she has since branched out into using silver plate as well as copper. 

I would recommend this seller and plan on visiting her stall when the (hopefully) more markets open up. At the moment she has a stall at Market Street Social Preston Markets. Check her IG for dates she will be there.

Review: TumbleandRose Sterling Silver Tiny Raw Aquamarine Necklace

I was recently diagnosed with and was told that I need treatment for glaucoma. I have always teetered on the edge of the thinking semi precious stones have restorative or healing qualities and as I was feeling pretty upset about the diagnosis I looked up which stones could help eye problems (obviously I will still continue with mainstream medical treatments, the laser procedure was not fun).

Aquamarine is a positive gemstone thought to bring happiness and help with grieving process. It is also thought to improve eye sight and help with eye problems. 

I purchased a sterling silver tiny raw aquamarine pendant (£16.10) from Rose and Tumble, a small Etsy seller. She makes no claims aquamarine or any gemstones have healing benefits. I chose this pendant because I like it.

The pendant arrived nicely packaged in a tiny hessian gift bag. The raw aquamarine stone is tiny but also extremely beautiful and minimalist. The rawness of the stone makes it seem very pure and close to nature. The silver setting and jump ring seem to make the stone glow in the sun. 

I really like this pendant, bought in a moment of panic, I don’t think it will solve one of my many health problems, but it does cheer  me up  when I wear it.

Bohemarie Jewellery, Crystals for Success Set

 

I purchased the Crystals for Success gift set from Bohemarie Jewellery via Etsy (she also has her own website Bohemarie.com). The stones by themselves cost £16 and with the selenite bowl £33. I bought the stones and bowls as I purchased them for their visual rather than their magical properties (although if I finally had some success in life that would be great).

The stones are rough pyrite, clear crystal, bloodstone, malachite and tigers eye. The stones are packed into a Bohemarie gift bag. The stones are just the right size - they fit in the palm of my hand and feel very tactile. There is also a card which outlines the stones properties. The selenite bowl and wand are beautiful and they almost glow in the sun. The wand is supposed to cleanse and recharge the stones and as someone who knows absolutely nothing about this I am finding it interesting to read about the stones properties and how they can be cleansed and recharged. 

I would purchase stones and gift sets from Bohemarie Jewellery in the future. The customer service was great and the items were well priced and great quality.
