Victorian Cameo Jewelry: In the Garden Black Crystal Necklace

Designed to look as though you've raided your great-grandmother's jewelry box, this one of a kind black cameo necklace is very, vintage in style.

Created with vintage elements including a romantic vintage black glass cameo with a lovely maiden in a flowing gown surrounded by swooping birds. Set in a vintage brass setting.

I've combined jet black crystals and beautiful vintage brass birds to frame this gorgeous cameo pendant. Lovely patina on all the vintage brass.

This piece reminds me of Victorian mourning jewelry and would be a unique accessory for a Civil War reinactor.

Word of Love from Poet Henry Van Dyke

Time is too slow for those who wait,

Words of Love from the Heart

To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart,

and to sing it to them when they have forgotten.

Words of Love: Within You is Absolute Love

Within you is one of the most beautiful oases you will ever find: 

it is absolute love.

Seek the oasis within your heart, mind and soul.

If you cannot find your oasis, you are living in a desert.

Walk out of the desert, into the openness of your mind,

and you will see your oasis.

Start your journey by loving yourself each day.

Fill your chalice with love from your oasis within,

so when you meet others who are thristy on the road of life,

you have something to share.
