"'The jeweller allows me to wear the sapphire blue lake on my finger, the emerald green leaves around my neck, and take the citrine sunset with me wherever I go. Jewellery has become my daytime link to nature in an office with no windows. And if I have to work late, there's nothing like diamond stars and a pearl full moon against an onyx night sky.'" - Astrid Alauda

The UK's FAE Magazine features two Space Mermaid necklaces in a lovely piece about "The Elements and Jewellery" (Autumn 2010)...

Shell Necklace

2008-07-23T23:19:00.000-07:00

Since ancient times, shells have been thought to possess healing and spiritual properties. It is believed that shells were used as decorations, amulets and religious objects as far back as 20,000 B.C. Throughout the Mediterranean civilizations, the Middle East, and the Pacific, shells were used both as a Goddess symbol and to work magic for healing, fertility, rebirth and good luck (from "Crystal Enchantments: A Complete Guide to Stones and Their Magical Properties").

This necklace is made with a silver-plated shell, sterling silver coral branch, freshwater pearl, coral, and sterling silver findings.

Feel free to use clothing from any designers of your choice. Instructions on how to create a set can be found on Polyvore.

First prize will be a $100 gift certificate to SpaceMermaid.com. There will also be one second place $75 gift certificate and one third place $50 gift certificate winner.

Pyrite and Pearl Ring

2008-04-19T22:44:00.000-07:00

I love the striations in these rough-cut cubes of pyrite (also known as fool’s gold). Pyrite has been used in jewelry for thousands of years, with archaeologists discovering examples in the ancient civilizations of

Greece

, Rome and the Incas. This mineral is believed to have a protective quality that shields its wearer from negative energy. This ring is made with pyrite, freshwater pearls and sterling silver. I plan to make some matching earrings soon...
