Secret Garden Necklace
In this film, a neglected British girl explores her uncle's estate and discovers a garden that has been locked, but neglected too.. Aided by one of the servants' boys, she begins restoring the garden, and discovers other secrets of the manor.

Irish Postage Stamp Bracelet
On two of these stamps, Cormac's chapel is represented. It was the chapel of King Cormac Mac Carthaigh, who was converted to Christianity by St. Patrick, and was begun in 1127 and consecrated in 1134. On the other two stamps, a hound in Celtic design is shown. Hounds were respected by royalty and warriors. Hounds symbolize hunting, healing, and are believed to protect and guide lost souls in the Otherworld.

Swedish Coin Necklace
Though you’re unlikely to be greeted at the shore by throngs of mead-swilling berserkers in longships, travellers today are more likely to be slayed by visions of pastoral beauty - intense green countryside, impenetrable forests, little red cottages atop remote islands and, everywhere, Sweden’s famously clear blue water.
Spent Bullet Earrings
Perfect for women who love to hunt!

"To select well among old things, is almost equal to inventing new ones."
-Nicholas Charles Trublet
Forged Earth
Incorporating wire and soft base metals, this line is perfect for those who love bold statements and nature!
Dogwood Flower Ring
Many Christians consider the flowering dogwood's showy cross-like inflorescences to be religious symbols, due to their four white petal-like bracts bearing red dots on their tips; these trees are often in flower during the springtime Easter season in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Victorian Era, flowers or sprigs of dogwoods were presented to unmarried women by male suitors to signify affection. The returning of the flower conveyed indifference on the part of the woman; however, if she kept it, it became a sign of mutual interest..
$35
Glass Pearl Earrings with Copper Rings
For copper to get a "watercolor" effect full of different colors, it has to be heated until it glows. As soon as it changes into different colors, it's quenched in water to retain that effect. These copper rings were the perfect match to make these earrings with rose taupe glass pearls.
$30
Christian Charm Necklace
The cross is the most common symbol of Christianity, intended to represent the death of Jesus when he was crucified on the True Cross and his resurrection in the New Testament. In the Middle Ages, the fleur-de-lis was found in Christian religious art. Until about 1300 they were found in depictions of Jesus, but they gradually took on Marian symbolism and were associated with the Song of Solomon's "lily among thorns", understood as a reference to Mary.
Hammered Copper Rings with Faux Wood Earrings
I love working with copper. These circles have been heated to a glowing orange, submerged in water when the right pattern of colors surfaced and then textured to resemble antique, handmade paper. The sleek feel of the faux vintage wood beads adds to the beauty of the copper.
Golden Hearts and Turquoise
The heart and the turquoise are harmonic in their symbols. While the heart refers to the soul and essence of someone, the turquoise is a symbol of friendship.
Golden Knot with Scarab
During and following the New Kingdom, scarab amulets were often placed over the heart of the mummified deceased. These "heart scarabs" (such as the one pictured above) were meant to be weighed against the feather of truth during the final judgement. The amulets were often inscribed with a spell from the Book of the Dead which entreated the heart to, "do not stand as a witness against me."
Robin's Nest Necklace
Medieval Europe lore often depicted the robin attending the Christ child, an emblem of the Passion to come. A tiny robin flew to Jesus' Crown of Thorns, striving bravely to pluck the thorns away with his beak. Unfortunately, the bird tore his own breast on the thorns. Since then, it was thought that robins wore red feathers on their chests as a badge of honor.
Tree of Life in Sterling and Peridot
The Tree of Life is a universal symbol found in many spiritual traditions. It symbolizes many things, including wisdom, protection, strength, bounty, beauty, and redemption. The Tree also represents humans as we too develop roots, strengthen our trunk and branch out to a wider vision of life as we grow.
$60
Strength and Stability Turquoise Bracelet
Believe it or not, there is symbolism behind simple geometric shapes. Squares and rectangles suggest honesty with the right angles representing strength and stability. These traits also come from the Turquoise gemstone, which makes this a perfect gift for those looking for a job, a mate, a home...whenever one feels that they are making a big decision!
Textured Copper Rings with Faceted Glass
These copper washers were heated to get a "watercolor" effect and then textured for more sparkle with gorgeous faceted glass.
Robin's Nest Ring
Pale Green Swarovski Crytals with Copper Rings
Light and airy, this pair is ready for spring! In many folklores and literatures, green has traditionally been used to symbolize nature and its embodied attributes, namely those of life, fertility, and rebirth.
"Earth laughs in flowers."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
