Handmade in New England!
Jewelry Using Real Seed Pods, made in Massachusetts
A New England girl at heart, I love hiking and all my acorn charms and necklaces are made from real acorn hats. Some have been chewed by squirrels! The pine cone jewelry is made from a cast of real pine cones from my back yard. The snowflake pieces are made of quartz that is hand-carved with a diamond bit tool.
My Retail shop link:
My best sellers are my blue and green world collection. These are made from acorn hats that grows on oak trees in Massachusetts, New England. I only choose high-quality acorn “hats” that are collected, cleaned, and sealed by hand. Don’t worry, I leave the nuts for the squirrels! Please note: the beads and hats will vary from photos. No two pieces are alike, as nature provides me with unlimited variations in beads and acorn hats. Each acorn charm is topped off by a tiny pewter oak leaf.
This collection look like a little worlds!
Rock or mineral bead is made from: Malachite, Azurite and Pyrite "fools gold"
Metals: Sterling silver plated headpin and pewter oak leaf
Azurite, malachite and pyrite pieces are perfect for crystal healing. The colors are bright and vibrant. Azurite during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, was ground into pigment for use in paint and eye shadow. The Ancient Egyptians believed Azurite was an aid for spiritual communication, and the Pharaohs wore malachite in their headdresses to help them rule wisely. In Ancient China, Pyrite was used in burial rituals, and gets its name from the Greek word pyr, which means fire. Oak trees and acorns are seen as good luck and a symbol of rebirth in Scandinavian countries. The fae, faeries, or fairy realm use acorns and their hats in daily woodland life. I hope you enjoyed reading a little history!
