Turquoise. December's Birthstone.

Turquoise was one of the most popular gemstones used in ancient Egypt. It is said to bestow wealth and happiness on anyone that receives it. The healing properties of turquoise are reputed to be effective for health problems relating to the throat, lungs, asthma, teeth, depression. and infection. Turquoise is also used to enhance creativity, serenity and spiritual bonding. Turquoise is also the birthstone of those born in December. The poem goes.

"If cold December gave you birth
The month of snow and ice and mirth
Place on your hand a turquoise blue
Success will bless whatever you do."

Here is some of my collection of turquoise jewellery. I hope you like it.

I have been working on yet more Egyptian necklaces this week and if I do say so myself I am really chuffed with these three. I can't make my mind up which is my favourite so I will leave it for you to decide which is yours?

Egyptian Necklaces

I have been working on these two Egyptian Necklaces this week. Both are completley different in style. Egyptian necklaces come in lots of different designs almost as many as I have in my own head.

Firstly is this wonderful deep blue lapis and Czech seed bead necklace which is of the same design as the recent lapis bracelet I recently featured on an earlier post. This is apoximately 16 inches long and sits quite high on the neck almost as a choker would.

My second Egyptian necklace is more of a Egyptian vintage style. Its created with antique brass chain and golden crystals and gold plated seed beads. This also is appoximately 16 inches long and sits quite high on the neck.

I would really appreciate your comments on these two necklaces as to which design you prefer.

I am working on some more Egyptian necklaces at the moment so I will be posting about those too in the next few days.

All my necklaces can be seen on the following page of my website.
