Ocean Wave Jewelry: 2 size Necklaces, 3 sizes Earrings. 18K Gold, 14K Gold or Sterling Silver with Diamonds. Inspirational Jewelry, Sea Life Tropical Beach, Surf's Up! Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu |
$530.00 | "Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it." (Lao Tzu) Water is deceptively powerful. We almost take it for granted as most of the earth is covered in water, and our own bodies are made mostly of water. This Ocean necklace was first inspired in Nantucket, seeing a jumping whale. The drops of splashing water were lit in the sunlight. I knew then that I wanted to make the ocean into jewelry, but it's so huge, it covers the earth, how would I capture the beauty and power? It took me several months and I finally captured the feeling in necklaces and earrings. After years of enjoying these collections I am finally working on Ocean Rings, too. Stay tuned! When I wear my Ocean Jewelry, it also reminds me of the power of water, also captured and most beautifully expressed by Lau Tsu the "Tao Te Ching" "Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong." In other words: Go with the flow.

Demi Grapes Drop Earring-2 Parts-Detachable Stud & Drop-18K Gold-14K Gold-Sterling Silver-Diamonds-CZs-any Gemstone. Wine-The Good Life-Love |
$1100.00 | Demi Grapes Drop Earrings: the same ultra-luxurious look as full grape bunches but instead of going all around, they curve a little with diamonds on the front and sides, but not the back: about half the width and so about half the weight. These are in two detachable parts, the grapes, and the stud at the top. Wear both together or just the top as a stud. Drop different pieces off the stud, or use a different stud with the grapes, such as a colored gem to coordinate with your outfit. The Grapes have incredible detail with an abundance of individually set diamonds giving a feeling of luxury and understated elegance: a real “WOW!” effect. 36 bezel set G-VS diamonds totaling approximately 80-90 points Grapes: the good life. Grapes and wine have always represented joy, bonding, plenty, freedom, rebirth, altruism, abundance, the literal taste of luxury, and even Jesus. There was a reason Jesus turned water into wine for the people. And we do like our wine! Even the way grapes grow contributes to the fruit's symbolic meaning: The grapevine, with its far-reaching tendrils that connect various, far away points, along with bunches of grapes, are wonderful metaphors for a loving society, reaching out, and connectivity. Of course, all that unity is also one of the lovely effects of wine. The Latin phrase ‘sub rosa” (under the rose) represents secrecy and discretion. In ancient Rome as far back as 800 BCE the rose became the symbol of confidentiality. Roses decorated the ceilings of Roman dining rooms to remind guests that what was said there under the influence of wine (sub vino) was also sub rosa, under the rose. In other words - - - shhhhh - - - we can all just relax, talk, and share: life is good with wine! The Grapes Collection includes variations of earrings, necklaces, grapes tipped pearl lariats (gemstones can be used, too), and a ring. See pictures and other postings for more.

Decision Coin &/or Spinning Coin Necklace: Changeable Coins. Sterling Silver with Diamonds. Look/Leap, Work Out/Pig Out, His Way/Her Way, Be Naughty/Be Nice. Jane Gordon Jewelry, Jane A Gordon |
$350.00 | Spinning Decision Coin Necklace, Changeable Coins, Sterling Silver & Diamonds Coins the size of a quarter, 3 diamonds 7.5 pts G-VS, one in holder & each side of coin. Necklaces: $650.00 Coin only: $350.00 Custom: add $150.00 Current Coins: Look / Leap His Way/ Her Way Her Way/ Her Way Work Out/ Pig Out Be Naughty/ Be Nice Gratitude/ Entitlement Look /Leap Look before you leap? Sometimes. "Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated; you can't cross a chasm in two small jumps." (David Lloyd George) Preferring to dive in rather than contemplate (especially fear), I’m a leap first girl. Sometimes while flying, wondering how to land, it seems looking first might be in order. Look/ leap? Leap/ look? We all need one or the other sometimes. Be Naughty/ Be Nice A woman looked at the Naughty/Nice coin indignantly "MY husband would never want me to be naughty!" Hm. If she’s not naughty occasionally she might need a divorce lawyer. Nice is Nice. Naughty is fun. Why choose? As long as you're kind be whatever makes you happy. His Way/ Her Way "Every disagreement is best looked at gently, as a way to know each other better." (Danny Aiello) Rather than argue with your sweetheart, why not just toss a coin? Most of the things we argue about aren't really the thing we are arguing about anyway. Her Way/ Her Way When Mama's happy the whole house is happy. Happy wife=happy life. It's the best to give her her way, because that's the best way to get your way any way. Gratitude/ Entitlement We know gratitude leads to happiness. Focus on blessings to enjoy them. Focus on imagined entitlements to become blind to what we have. The original inspiration was that entitlement is the opposite of gratitude. It's true and not true. In an emergency, airlines warn us to put on our own oxygen mask before helping others. “Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting.” (William Shakespeare, Henry V) Work Out / Pig Out Does this need Explanation? |

Handmade Butterfly Pin: Watermelon Tourmaline, Diamonds, 18K Gold. Made in NYC |
$5500.00 | "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became butterfly." (Anon) This pin is the last of a collection of gemstone butterflies. The uplifting symbolism I love about butterflies is accepting change, and that even the darker times are preparing us to fly. Is there someone in your life who will thrive with this message wrapped in beauty? Maybe you! This particular piece is even more symbolic of re-birth. The only reason I have this is that while all the other pieces had been sold long ago, I had given this to my mother. She doesn't wear jewelry anymore and gave me everything, which is when I found this had a piece chipped off the wing. It sat broken in my drawer for another five years until I finally brought it to a stone cutter to see if he could cut new wings to fit the setting. He did much better: he was able to re-carve the original wings, and now they are perfect again: Jewelry re-birth! More symbolism: The Butterfly Effect, mathematical proof that we are all so interconnected that if a butterfly flaps it's wings in the Amazon, in as little as 20 minutes it can create a thunderstorm in Hong Kong. In my interpretation, what we do to others, we do to ourselves, because there are no others. We are one. Watermelon Tourmaline Approximately 35-40 pts G-VS diamonds 18K Gold Butterfly jewelry: hand made, one of a kind. We might be able to make new pieces as custom orders, but the person who made these has retired. Price varies according to stones, using gold or silver, and diamond carat weight. If you love the images, we can also use them for scarves, tote bags, tops, etc. Contact me to discuss details. |

Tahitian Pearl Multi-Strand Necklaces Suede Cords-Elegant Magnetic Clasp. One has Chinese Freshwater Pearls. Black Brown Taupe Tan Grey Gray |
$550.00 | Tahitian Pearls on Multi-Strand Necklaces, Suede Cords with Elegant Magnetic Clasp. One has a Tahitian Center Pearl with Chinese Freshwater Pearls. There are three versions of this multi strand necklace. Two are all Tahitian pearls ($975.00 each) The third has a Tahitian center pearl, and the rest are White Chinese Freshwater Pearls ($550.00) Tahitian Pearls on black suede cords: 18" Tahitian Pearls on black and brown suede cords: 17" Tahitian Center Pearl & Freshwater Pearls on dark and light taupe suede cords: 16" The necklaces can be worn a little shorter by twisting them into a torsade. French Polynesia is the only place in the world where pearls grow naturally in these magnificent grey colors. Although they are known as black pearls, they are rarely truly black, but instead shades of grey (not just fifty) with reflections of blues, golds, pinks, and more. I bought the Tahitian pearls in Bora Bora. I bought the beautiful magnetic clasps in Barcelona and wish I had bought more; it’s unusual to find an elegant magnetic clasp and I can't find them here in NY city. This is an unusual look in that one doesn’t usually see Tahitian pearls, which are generally seen as ultra-elegant, mixed with alternative materials like suede. It's even more unusual to find real Tahitian pearls mixed with white Freshwater pearls. It is illegal to import white pearls which don't grow there into French Polynesia, so you never see the mix there. Anywhere else in the world they just dye the less expensive pearls into black and grey colors. Because I mix these pearls which are so rarely mixed, I like to call these Naughty Necklaces. These can be dressed up or down, and can be worn with anything from jeans, to work clothes, to a cocktail dress. It's funky and chic at the same time. |

Vintage Navajo Squash Blossom Necklace-Sterling Silver & Turquoise Native American, Mexican Antique |
$8550.00 | Signed: CHOEN, MEXICO. Worn, so looks like CHOEN XICO Stamped: Sterling 0925, also worn, looks like 092 Navajo Squash Blossom necklace hand-made silver & turquoise. Research indicates 1940s-50s. Signed CHOEN, possibly Amans Choen. 10 Turquoise Squash Blossoms Total length 29”: Necklace length 25” plus pendant 4” Pendant 4” x 3.5” Each Blossom 2.25” x 1.25” 8.32 oz //235.9 grams Bought by my mother, Tammy, on a trip to Mexico in the ‘60s/70’s. An artist, architect, anthropologist & lawyer, she loved the necklace for craftsmanship, history, culture & beauty. The silver has a warm patina which should polish nicely should you want to do so. Normally I’d polish posting but not now since un-doing removal of vintage patina is impossible. There’s no right or wrong, only taste and style. The Squash Blossom was created as a talisman for protection. The Moors attached it to horses' bridles to ward off the evil eye. Dating to the 1870’s it became a centerpiece of squash blossom necklaces for protection & good luck. The horseshoe shape pendant called Naja, (Navajo for crescent) & beads representing pomegranates/squash flowers, both have Spanish roots. Earliest Squash Blossom necklaces had little or no turquoise. Added in 1890s Turquoise is known as the Traveler’s Stone, especially important to the many first nation people who believe that by wearing turquoise the human mind becomes one with the universe. Turquoise represents power, status & luxury. It’s believed wearing it results in good fortune, happiness & security. Said to possess healing & protective powers, attracts luck, love & money. Turquoise helps to ground the spirit while allowing the energy path to remain clear, thus keeping its connection to the infinite open. In addition to wearing turquoise jewelry the Navajo’s store turquoise in baskets or hang it from the ceiling to protect the family from evil. Someone is going to love wearing this fabulous statement piece. Is it you? |
