BRASS HALF MOON WITH DRAGON SKIN TURQUOISE, SILVER CHAIN Necklace

Over the years I have amassed a decent amount of brass cast elements and cut shapes that I keep on one of my designing-tables, along with various gemstones and bits and baubles, and I'm always tinkering with them as I pass through the rooms of 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 mozaic 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! This small-batch release consists of necklaces and earrings that we just made with Brass elements, some with sterling silver chains, and all with one of my favorite gemstones, "Dragon skin Turquoise"!

"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.
