Gothic Garden Leaf Earrings for Fall

These handcrafted leaf earrings have an exotic flavor.  I used hand carved chunky leaves of Poppy Jasper in rich brick red with gray inclusions.  Then I dangled some sleek, gray metallic Hematite beads.  Silver accents finish off this gothic garden theme.

Did you know that a leaf symbolizes happiness!

Ice Storm Citrine Floral Bracelet from Bittersweet Ridge Jewelry

Ice Storm Floral Gemstone Bracelet
from Bittersweet Ridge Jewelry

We live in the country so I shudder whenever the weather forecast includes a chance of freezing rain.  No electricity means no running water and a myriad of other inconveniences.  However, when we do have an ice storm, I never fail to notice the incredible beauty Mother Nature gives us.  For me, ice storms are truly bittersweet.

Thus inspired this gemstone bracelet in clear rock crystal quartz and gorgeous citrine gemstones.  It's a chunky bracelet suggesting a flower caught in an ice storm. Fat natural clear rock crystal quartz beads are accented with sterling silver. All framing a hand carved quartz flower accented with big fat faceted Citrine. Lovely carving details. Brilliantly faceted Citrine gemstone bead.
