I can accept credit cards now using the Intuit product. I do not store any credit card data. I do not sell any of your information at all. I would like to keep your shipping information, but this is completely up to you. Corena’s jewelry design is still only me making signature wearable art for you. I do not duplicate pieces unless you request it at the time you purchase it or with permission from the person who bought the item. Due to the nature of stone it is difficult to get two items that are identical. I am always learning about different styles of jewelry and am always open to new ideas from you. I can be found on facebook https://www.facebook.com/corenasjewelrydesign

Body Art Jewelry

corena — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 20:08:47 +0000

I have been working on some new body art jewelry. I will have pictures posted soon. Most people think that body art is tattoos or henna or jewelry for piercings other than your ears. I have designed some body art jewelry that can be worn in other parts of your body besides the norm. I have some unique items that are still in the development phase of creation. They will need to be tested and qc’d before I will post the pics but within the next week or so you should be seeing some of these designs. Keep in mind that all my jewelry is one of a kind. I don’t make any two pieces alike. So with that said please take a look at some of the items I have posted and I will add new items as I create them. I would love to make your individual items as well so if there is a few pieces that you like that may need some alteration before it fits your style please contact me and I will do my best to fulfill your unique jewelry desire.

Ametrine

Ametrine

Ametrine is a mixture of Citrine and Amethyst and does, therefore, have the metaphysical qualities of both. In addition, Ametrine helps to dispel negativity and fill one with pure white light energy. It aids astral travel and protects you during that travel. This crystal helps you to enter a deep state of meditation quickly and helps to expand your consciousness.

Amethyst

Headaches ,eyes, scalp/hair, pituitary, pineal, blood sugar balance. Especially helps sobriety; alcohol/food/sex/other addictions. Famous ancient detoxicifier (especially helped with poisons, alcohol). Dream recall. Stone of spirituality, contentment, meditation. Provides common sense, flexibility in decisions. Color varies from a deep violet to a pale lavender, almost to the point of being clear. Amethyst has a direct link to the mind. It bolsters the production of the hormones, and strengthens the cleansing organs, the circulatory system and blood, the immune system, and body metabolism. It soothes the nervous system and assists in the transmission of neural signals. Helps you feel less scattered and more in control of your faculties. Memory skills and motivation improve. Goals are clearer, more realistic, and easier to achieve. However, you must use this stone cautiously with subjects who have paranoid or schizoid tendencies. Can benefit people with insomnia or troubled sleep. Ideal for those who meditate. Promotes selflessness.

Vera Cruz Amethyst

Vera Cruz Amethyst has a higher vibration. It produces an immediate Beta state. It stimulates the Throat Chakra and the Heart Chakra which produces a calming effect. If you place one of these crystals or crystal clusters on your arm, it provides tranquility. Stroking Vera Cruz Amethyst causes it to emit energy. Vera Cruz amethyst creates an excellent connection with spirit, and a protective energy surrounding the user.

Chevron Amethyst

Chevron Amethyst also called “banded amethyst” is a combination of white quartz and amethyst in bands or V striped patterns. It is perhaps the best Third Eye Chakra gemstone, allowing you to see deeply into yourself as well as into other planes of existence. It is helpful to cleanse auras. When placed on any Chakra, it will release any tension within and energize those areas that need it. This stone combines the qualities of amethyst with the qualities of white quartz.

A little more on Agate

corena — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 00:55:57 +0000

I use many types of agate especially since there are many types to work with. Here is some of the information I have found concerning agate.

discerns the truth, accepts circumstances, is powerful emotional healer.

Banded Agate

Strong protectors, reinforcing your strength and providing protection if you are very sensitive. Helps those who need extra courage or energy to face stress.

Tree Agate is said to assist with introspection and self-discovery. It can give a wider viewpoint of the world. Tree agate relives tension, fever, and skin eruptions. It also brings plentiful crops.

Turitella Agate

Turitella is a protective stone. It is especially good protection against spells. As with all fossils, it can help increase accomplishments in the area of business and add excellence to one’s environment. They also aid one in being open to change and new ideas. Traditionally, fossils have been used to aid in curing diseases and ailments of the skeletal system, bones, hands, and feet.

White Lace Agate

It can support optimism and elevate your thoughts.

I really enjoy the healing properties of agate they make me feel better just by handeling them when I am making a new piece of jewelry. If you are wanting agate for use with chakra healing then keep the color rule in mind. The color rule being use the color of the stone that matches the chakra color.

Thank you again to all the people who made this information available to me.

Thank you!

Through the years I have spent many hours learning about stones. Some of the information I have found is in books, online, and even word of mouth from some friends who do lapidary work. Thank you to all of you who have helped to build my knowledge base. I appreciate having and being able to share this information with more people. One of the websites I found the most informative is healingcrysatals.net I have found several other informative sites and unfortunately don’t remember the names of them. If you recognize information that may have come from you, please let me know and I will add you to this list. Thank you for putting this information where I could find it. Hope everyone has a great day!

In the beginning

corena — Tue, 25 May 2010 13:56:12 +0000

I started making jewelry when I was 10 years old, when my parents brought me a shoe box full of broken jewelry and beads. I knew nothing of jewelry except how to wear it. Through trial and error I learned about tool marks and the specialty tools that are required to make jewelry. I am always adding new tools to the list of tools I already have. I started designing my own jewelry when I realized that most jewelry is made in mass. I don’t want to walk into some kind of function and see 3 or 4 of the same earrings or necklaces on other people, I want to have unique and one of a kind jewelry, something that people notice. I started making pearl pieces when a dear friend of mine asked for a pearl necklace, “something that is not my grandmothers pearls”, So she could wear pearls without worrying about losing her family heirloom.

Agate

corena — Mon, 24 May 2010 15:04:13 +0000

Agate:

The name is derived from its occurrence at the Achates River in southwestern Sicily. Banded Chalcedony The appearance of the stone is waxy and soft. Almost always translucent and occasionally transparent. Agates are grounding stones. They help obtain a better physical/emotional balance. They work to raise consciousness. Builds self-confidence.

Agate comes in many different colors. Sometimes its banded or lacey. agates come from all over the world even wood can be agateized. I enjoy using agate just handling them make me feel better and more positive like in item 201003.

Something a little different

corena — Tue, 18 May 2010 14:19:02 +0000

I have spent the last few weeks learning about networking. So I thought it was time for something a little different. I am now trying to learn as much as I can about grants. How to apply, what is needed to apply and where to apply. So much information out there it seems a little overwhelming. I still have a lot of reading and a lot more writing to do before I am ready to apply. I will keep you posted as to what I’ve learned and helpful hints I’ve found in the process. I believe that it is important to learn something new every day. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Aegerine

corena — Sun, 16 May 2010 19:40:25 +0000

Aegerine:
Named after Aegir, a Scandinavian god of the sea.
Dark green, greenish black stone.
Will empower your quest of self. It facilitates our truth in important ways. It enables one to do what is in the heart, and the required steps-to be who we are! It is an excellent self-esteem builder especially for women! The need for conformity is broken into a sense of self-acceptance. Personal integrity and convictions are made concrete, allowing self-sufficiency. Excellent stone for energy generation. It concentrates positive energy for dispersion to stimulate growth and revitalize the mind. Delineates emotional trouble spots. Guards against negative energy & psychic attack. It increases the energy of other stones in any healing situation. It augments the immune system.
(Celestine)

I like to mix Aegerine with, jade, bloodstone, tiger eye, and hematite as seen in the necklace 201004

The learning curve

corena — Sat, 15 May 2010 17:52:11 +0000
