This beautiful necklace needs someone who loves to dress up and take it dancing - hopefully to twirl about a ballroom to a Vienese waltze. Imagine a dress with a full purple skirt which will swirl as she dances with her modern day prince.
This delicious piece does also dress down; as it looks wonderful with this vintage blouse and my black suit - alas I just do not go out as often as I used to, and managed just barely to take it on the test drive it deserved.. Living tucked away as we are in the country is not condusive to ballroom dancing.
Learning about the semi-precious stones is almost as exciting as making them into beautiful pieces of jewelry. I have gathered a large file with this piece - a culmination of the wonderful bits have gathered about the unique stone Charoite, plus all the other pertinent piece for its personal story.
In December 2003 I entered this piece of jewelry into the Fire Mountain Bead Contest. It received 2nd place in the glass bead division - out of over 4000 beaders that is not too shabby.
The piece is on their website and has a page all to itself in their newest catalogue.

Charoite's Stone Story
It's the moment for your dreams to come true.
You have found out how to live without them.
You have discovered how to create them again.
Now you can use all your resiurces to fulfil them.
Grow them in your reality.
Make them your truth in every part of beingness.
Somethings you simply must do
in order to do them.
With my stone body I have found a way . . .
(I'll share it with you because I want to watch your dreams grow).
Turn into your body.
Adore it because it landed you on this earth
and it carries your spirit.
Travel deep inside it
until you know that it's an endless magic journey.
Then it will whisper the secrets to entering a new reality
and forging a new way of life.
It's how everything begins . . .
Charoite brings us magic and ways to manifest it in our lives.

Silver:
Astrological signs: Cancer & Aquarius
Silver brings one the "advantage" throughout life. It can be used to improve ones quality of speech and can bring eloquence to conversations. It tends to bring an air of culture to ones presence and to eliminate abrasive traits while promoting popularity. Silver can be used as a mirror to the soul, one to stimulate seeing oneself from outside the body. This sight is without judgemental attitudes and can provide a stepping stone to the furtherance of that which the "I Ching" [pronounced yee-jing] recognizes as the "superior man". It provides one with patience and preserverence in the tasks chosen and allows one to understand the underlying reasons for the tasks. It assists in increasing perception and helps to regulate the emotional and intuitive energies.
Silver is used extensively with gemstones because the metal is able to reflect and enhance the qualities of the stones used with it; providing a steadying helping hand for the stone. Silver is known to enhance the powers of the moon and is an excellant mineral for use when energizing other stones during the full and new moons.
Silver vibrates to the number 4.
