This necklace looks a little odd wrapped around this vase, but looks gorgeous on the model pictured on Esty. The irregularly faceted, deep red garnets are wired onto a silver chain.

Garnets are tools for making the products of the creative imagination manifest in real life. All types of garnets carry the energy of prosperity and the enjoyment of worldly pleasures. (via etsy.com)

First to recommend

Description

This beautifully styled ring has a focal point of Pakistani Smokey Quartz. Smokey Quartz is one of my favorite crystals because of its dramatic looks, earthy hue and its ability to go with anything I wear. In this handcrafted silver setting it really pops.

This stone is reputed to be seriously grounding. It is said to be able to bring even the spaciest individuals back down to Earth. Smokey Quartz enhances practicality and organization. The energy of this stone is protective and also pulls negative energy in from one's environment. (via etsy.com)

Herkimer Diamond Bullet Necklace (.40, Mixed Reclaimed Chain) By Leoravon On Etsy

First to recommend

Description

This is an awesome piece! Yes, because a .40 bullet casing is used, but mainly because of the stone involved --- a Herkimer Diamond.

These "diamonds" are found in and around Herkimer, NY. They are actually a type of crystal quartz, but are harder than most other types and superficially resemble diamonds. Hence the name.

Herkimer diamonds help to open the 3rd eye and purifies all chakras. They are beneficial for stress, detoxification, metabolic imbalances, radioactivity, cellular disorders, the throat and bronchitis. (via etsy.com)

Skull Necklace

First to recommend

Description

Another, simple yet provocative design, by Joseph Brooks, this necklace is created from onyx beads and boasts a skull carved from black tourmaline. A powerful protective piece indeed.
Onyx was believed in ancient times to have a demon imprisoned within that would awaken at night, sowing discord. Nowadays, strength-giving onyx is a protective stone for dark nights and lonely places.
Black tourmaline is the most effective blocker of curses, psychic attack and ill wishes. It is said to protect against cellphone emanations, electromagnetic disturbance, radiation and negative energies of all sorts. (via aplusrstore.com)

smokey quartz winchester colt 45 necklace by anotherfeather on Etsy

First to recommend

Description

I find this design to be very appealing. I like bullets and I like semi-precious stones --- seems like an odd combination. However, in all of the pieces I've seen combining the two, I have been impressed. Also, smokey quartz has special properties. It corresponds to the astrological signs Capricorn and Sagittarius. It is a grounding stone, having the ability to transform negative energy. It is said to literally form a protective barrier around the wearer. It's effective in dealing with anger and resentments. Smokey quartz helps one be in the moment, and regulate creative energy. (via etsy.com)
