SALE Pink Peruvian Opals in Gold Vermeil Earrings

Artisan Jewelry : Earrings

 

Sweet and simple: these are teardrops of creamy pink Peruvian opals, surrounded by lovely gold-filled beadcaps, daisy rondelles, and beads. The earrings hang a dainty one inch below gorgeous gold vermeil earwires.

As a Birthstone for Libras, Opals are intensely connected with relationships. The polarity sign, Aries, indicates that one IS, and Libra joins with Aries and extends the statement to become We ARE. We incarnate to learn how to integrate the sign opposite our Sun sign (as well many other reasons, of course), so it is healthy for Libras to read up on how to Be as an individual, as well as about relationships, so as not to fall into co-dependent ones. In the same vein, it is important for Aries to read about and practice cooperation, sharing, and the finesse needed for healthy compromise as well as learning how to balance the needs of one's Self in this world of Others.

In evolving and trying to learn the lessons of the other sign, one shouldn't go too far and abandon taking care of one's own needs or respecting the concept of Selfhood. As one school of philosophy would assert, Self is essential to Other, but it is healthy to remember that a partnership is at its strongest when two Whole people come together. Others are mirrors from which we learn about what Self is, but that doesn't mean we should discount our own self-perceptions.

In gemstone lore, Opal is said to bring inspiration and imagination. This lovely stone is considered a very spiritual stone, augmenting memory and helping to bring happy dreams. For those of us who resist change, it can ease the trauma of metamorphosis, organic or imposed.

The opal is also linked with invisibility, but we somehow doubt you'll find yourself invisible while wearing these! Opal is also used to bring out your inner beauty, and gemstone lore includes the belief that opals are said to attract luck and good fortune, as it and the sign it is a Birthstone for, Libra, are both ruled by Venus, Goddess of Love, Art, Beauty, as well as of delicate Balance.

Pink opal in particular helps one tune into the emotions in a vibrant way as well as better understand the emotions of others. It is said to assist in dispelling distortions and assumptions we may have about people and get to the "heart" of the emotions in play, allowing one to "see" more clearly and holistically.

The lovely pinks in the stone bring to the wearer the powerful yet gentle passion associated most strongly with the Heart Chakra.

One very important lesson of the Heart chakra, which is the bridge between the physical body and our Spirit Self, is learning to treat ourselves with the same love with which we treat others. Too often we think that our loved ones deserve the very best, and that we really don't matter in the long run. Somehow, it's much easier than believing that we owe ourselves the same treatment and sense of respect we give others. This beautiful stone helps you to treat yourself with the same delicacy and gentleness as you would treat others. Strengthening self-love and care makes all of us better able to love others!

All of our items are one of a kind, hand-crafted and designed with a true love of the glorious gemstones of Mother Earth. Thank you for looking, and Brightest Blessings!
