Pink Tourmaline

Pretty, sparkly, and rustic cut pink tourmaline stones are simply wrapped onto sterling silver. Delicate, simple, and rustic. 

I've designed these earrings by forming a frame with sterling silver wire, and simply wrapping an oval pink tourmaline stone to it. A little decorative swirl adds the finishing touch! These natural tourmaline stones are oval in shape, with varying shades of pink throughout the stones. They have their own sparkle! These pink tourmaline earrings dangle gracefully from handmade sterling silver ear wires.

These earrings are 1-1/2 inches in length, and 1/2 inch wide.

A little bit about tourmaline: Pink tourmaline is the birthstone for October. Tourmaline is thought to aid in understanding oneself and others; promoting self confidence and eliminating fears.

Lush Labradorite

Labradorite is one of my favorite stones to use when making, and wearing, jewelry!  Grayish, with flashes of blue within the stone, it has so much character!  Found only in  the Labrador region of Canada,  this stone is truly unique!
Labradorite Pearl Copper Earrings


I've used two different shapes of labradorite beads when designing the necklace below:  tear drop shaped and faceted ovals.  The focal bead is African Bloodstone.










Metaphysically/Spiritually labradorite is thought to promote healing of mental confusion and indecision,  and to protect a person's aura.

Looking for new studs?

Should you be looking for new studs, not the dude type (though I can use one them myself!), but the type you put in your ears, look no further!  Since I've started making stud earrings, they have been super popular!  And, the selection over at Pixe's is growing every day!

The Stone of Rainbows: Tourmaline

 I've had a love affair with rocks and minerals ever since I've been a child! Tourmaline has always been one of my favorite stones...I love all the colors, and I especially love the shape of a naturally occurring crystal. Tourmaline is said to be the stone of the rainbow. It was believed by ancient Egyptians that a rainbow passed deep through the earth when the tourmaline was forming...

                                         Orange tourmaline is thought to foster and enhance creativity
                                               Pink tourmaline is thought to promote joy and love.
     Violet tourmaline is thought to provide protection against dark forces.


Green Tourmaline is thought to promote compassion towards yourself.
I design my signature stud earrings by wrapping 6mm round tourmaline beads in sterling silver, and ending with a tiny swirl!   These stones are African Tourmaline.

My tourmaline earrings are perfect for everyday wear, or for adding a bit of color when you're wearing that little black dress!
These are my newest addition to Pixe's Treasure Chest!


Wishing you a fabulous, and peace filled day!
