peace is every step necklace
Peace is Every Step... Necklace

A sterling silver circle engraved with the simple sentiment "Peace is every step..." from the book by Thich Nhat Han. A reminder to ourselves to live mindfully, and to fully experience every moment. The back may be personalised with your own sentiment, a date, or a name. An amethyst graces the centre - a stone of peace, and mindfulness. It helps us to calm our minds, and create a higher spiritual awareness.

This item is handstamped by the artist, with each letter being placed on the metal by hand, and then hammered to create an impression. Each pendant is guaranteed to be different as the letters will always be placed slightly different. Handstamping is an art, unlike machine engraving - and as such I believe it has a more soulful quality.

Comes strung on your choice of greek leather or an 18" sterling chain.

crow pendant necklace

Crow #7 - The Secret Keeper
from the pendant series "A Storytelling of Crows"

one for sorrow
two for birth
three for a wedding
four for a birth
five for silver
six for gold
seven for a secret that can't be told....

The seventh in a series of handcrafted pendants by Kimberly de Montbrun. Crow #7 was carved in wax with an eye to detail, then cast in sterling silver and hand finished by the artist. He is based in part on a certain crow that greets Kimberly every morning on her farm with a racous cawing and demands for treats. Black Jack Crow is a mischievous fellow, who demanded that he be carved with the top hat of a specific storyteller. He will not tell who he has stolen it from, but we have our suspicions...

The pendant measures x mm and is entirely sterling silver. He is strung on a fine Greek laether cord and accented by a faceted iolite gemstone dangle. Iolite is a stone of the 3rd eye - of intuition and hidden knowledge. Perhaps it can help to unravel the secrets this fellow is keeping.

sterling silver and gemstone briolette pendant necklace
abundance and positivity necklace:
ozidized sterling and citrine briolette pendant necklace

I am bedazzled by these stones. The subtle colour of them, the sparkle, the weight of the teardrops. I love the whimsical cool texture of the oxidised silver, set against the controlled polish and warm glimmer of the citrine. They catch the eye as they sway...

Citrine is a self esteem stone with a warm energy. It cleanses negative energies on an ongoing basis without ever needing to be cleansed of them itself. It is a stone of abundance.

I truly believe that we are the creators of our own destiny - our own abundance. We just need to be clear about it - about what it is we actually want. We are usually pretty good at recognising what we do not want, but abundance tumbles and spills into our lives when we release our focus from the negatives and shift it to what beautiful things already exist, and what new possibilities await us.

This is the necklace that I wear every single day, to clear my thoughts of negativity and keep me energised and ready for what the world offers.

shown strung on an 18" sterling curb chain

These pendants come strung on your choice of an 18" sterling ball chain or curb chain necklace, or an adjustable greek leather thong in natural colour.

beaded gemstone necklace handcrafted by artisan Kimberly de Montbrun

passion and devotion
artisan beaded gemstone necklace

They say all is fair in love and war, but I don't always buy that...for a loving relationship to develop, there needs to be a foundation not only of passion, but of loyalty, honesty and emotional integrity. I have created this piece to help bring all of these energies and qualities to your relationship. If you are not currently in a relationship, the powerful self confidence and honesty of this piece will help to draw that energy to you so that you will recognise the right relationship when it presents itself.

Garnets are the stone of passionate energy, attracting others, and allowing them to see the beauty both within and without. They help to give self confidence (very sexy!) , and encourage the wearer to be their true self. Granets encourage the devotion of others in a relationship, helping to buid loyalty and honesty.

Pearls allow the wearer to see themselves as others see them - without the filter of self criticism to cloud their eyes. They open you to loving feelings towards yourself, which allows others to also feel attracted. Pearls also allow you to see and experience others with a loving heart.

Adorn yourself with this unique artisan beaded piece featuring garnets and genuine blistered stick pearls.A sterling silver handmade pendant from Bali, provides a wonderful focal point. This is a necklace that you are guaranteed to get comments on each and every time you wear it. Funky and trendy, yet at the same time possessing a timeless quality. Strung on sterling silver figaro chain. All metal parts 100% sterling silver.

Pair them with our garnet and pearl chandelier earrings for a stunning combination!

Strength
Inspirational / Awareness Pendant Necklace

When an oyster is hit with trauma - a foreign body that invades the sheltered life it lives in it's safe shell, it takes action. It builds upon that painful intrusion in it's life, adding layer upon layer of iridescence, until it creates a pearl. An object valued for it's depth of beauty.The pearl is the beautiful hope borne out of the oyster's pain
Just like the pearl, we can be inspired to take action in our own lives to create beauty and hope out of times that are traumatic and painful. We can create something strong that will be admired by all we let see it, for the depth of it's many layers, and the beauty of it's strength. Whether it is illness, loss, pain, or trauma, we can transform what life brings us and use it to move forward with wisdom and grace.
I have chosen the black pearl as a symbol that although our innocence may have been lost, the knowledge of life that we have gleaned - the knowledge of ourselves - is deeply beautiful.
Our strength pendant and earrings may be customised with the swarovski crystal colour of your choice. The set shown is in purple - the awareness colours of Domestic Violence - and inspired by the strength and beauty of a brave friend who escaped a dangerous situation. You may choose a colour to represent the current or past challenges in your life, or simply choose a colour that appeals to your senses.
