Small Brass Pendule Earrings with Turquoise

Over the years I have amassed a decent amount of brass cast elements and cut shapes  and lately I've been tinkering with them as I pass through the studio, moving this element to here and that one to there, finding inspiration with one piece and then combining it with something else that I really like. The table almost looks like a mosaic itself through this process, and every once in a while, like right now, I find that I have several cohesive ideas that can be turned into a beautiful (but very limited) collection! 

For this new style (which kind of reminds me of the Pit and the Pendulum's swinging blade) we've created these dangles from our hammered brass half-moons, adorning each of their tops with a chunk of Raw Turquoise, creating a simple, flowy, badass-for-its-small-size design!

"Dragon skin" Turquoise is viewed in metaphysical practices as a powerful stone of protection, transformation, and inner strength. Its unique, intricate patterns—resembling reptile scales— are believed to channel the energy of a mythical dragon, providing a, courageous, and protective shield against negative energy.

• Transformation and Growth: It is associated with personal evolution, helping to release old, unwanted patterns and encouraging the pursuit of new possibilities.
• Protection and Courage: Known as a "stone of courage," it is thought to help the wearer face challenges, overcome fears, and feel secure, often used to boost confidence.
• Emotional Balance and Grounding: The stone promotes inner stability and calmness, making it effective for stress relief and emotional healing.
• Chakra Association: It is primarily associated with the Root and Sacral Chakras, fostering a sense of being grounded and fostering creative, passionate energy.
• Spiritual Connection: It facilitates a deeper connection to the spiritual realm and aids in enhancing intuition.
