HOPE ANCHORS THE SOUL

It’s been a while since I’ve updated my etsy shop with anything new.  I really feel like I’ve dropped the ball this year.  It’s not that I meant to, but sometimes life just takes over. 

While in Los Angeles recently I decided to start stocking up on some beading supplies. When I hit the jewelry district and ran across these beautiful Amazonite beads, I knew I HAD to get them. Since summer is right around the corner, I decided on replicating my most popular design into a fresh crisp, summertime color pattern.  That’s when this necklace was born.

From time to time I like to just research the stones I use.  Upon researching a little bit about the Amazonite stone I ran across what some believe it means. Apparently it’s a stone of truth, honor, communication, integrity and hope.  The word HOPE jumped off the page at me.  It is a word that has become a cornerstone focus in my personal life the last couple of years. It brought Hebrews 6:19 - Hope Anchors the soul - to my mind. Hope is probably the single most important factor in life.  Without hope, we truly have nothing. It is something to cling to and preserve when times are difficult.  Some days having hope in what God has promised us is the only way to make it through.  It is my desire that this piece can bring comfort to those who wear it by giving them the simple reminder of the hope we may have in Gods promises.  

This necklace is now available in my etsy shop (www.LuvAlisa.com). I also have a version made in bronze as well.  Feel free to stop in and take a look around.

Peace and Love Handmade Jewelry!

I’ve been so busy traveling that I haven’t had an opportunity to share my most recent pieces that are available in my etsy shop found at www.LuvAlisa.com.  I’ve been wanting to share these pieces for quite some time. When I sat down recently to create some new pieces, it was at the time that the world watched the horrific events unfold in Paris. Like many others; those events plagued my mind and my heart ached for what those involved went through. As many can agree the world needs more Peace and more love and I wanted to create a piece that would reflect just that.  As I sifted through my inventory of charms, I came across an old dove with an olive branch. I’ve had this charm for quite some time but never found a use for it. Knowing that it is a symbol of peace, I couldn’t think of a better time to put it to use.  I paired the dove with a heart accented by a pink crystal and rose quartz, thus the necklace of Peace and Love was born.  I have it available in both silver tone and bronze tone. 

I also made a version for those of faith who wished to have a cross charm included for the complete message of Peace, Faith and Love.  These new necklaces and many more are currently available in my etsy shop.  Please feel free to stop in to take a look around.  

JUST LISTED in my Etsy Shop!

Had a chance to catch up on a few things before I run back out the door and wanted to let everyone know that I got a new batch of jewelry up in my etsy shop.  Listed them today and this Aquamarine Moonstone Bird necklace is among them.  It’s my personal favorite!!  Guess I’ve been kinda into the dainty subtle pieces lately. 

Anyway, this necklace features a rhodium plated bird pendant accented by aquamarine and moonstone gemstone beads. It’s very elegant, simple and subtle.  It’s one of those pieces that can be dressed up and dressed down.  It will go with nearly any outfit. It’s just one of those feel good simple pieces that will be sure to get compliments.  Handmade as usual by yours truly.  Find it along with many other pieces in my online jewelry box found at www.LuvAlisa.com.  Feel free to pass along the news to friends and Hope to see you shopping soon!  

COLORS OF AUTUMN.....

Bronze Dangle Wire Wrapped Carnelian & Crystal Earrings

It's that time of year again, when we start see the vibrant colors as a result of the changing of the seasons. As I welcome the cooler weather and wait for the beauty of the season to appear, I decided to take to my bead board and create jewelry reflecting the colors of Autumn.

  

Here is a simple pair of dangle earrings I made last weekend. The earrings feature wire wrapped orange carnelian beads accented by green and orange crystal beads.  Simple and pretty. 

If you wish to purchase these earrings I have them currently for sale in my etsy shop found at LuvAlisa.com. 

Fly Hummingbird! Fly!

Hummingbird Rose Quartz Handmade Necklace

So I've spent the last several days learning both Blogger and WeHeartIt.com  I must say I've been enjoying both.  Posted this piece on We Heart It a few minutes ago and I've been watching the heart number grow. I must say it's quite humbling when something I create can be liked by total strangers. 

I dreamed up this piece a few weeks ago after receiving a shipment of beads with these adorable hummingbirds. I've noticed that there are many people who have a fondness for birds. I admit, I love them too.  I just felt that a hummingbird would be a nice addition to my collection.  This necklace features a wire wrapped Rose Quartz pendant with a crystal accent. That paired with the hummingbird make this a very pretty but unique necklace that I know will bring happiness to someone one day. 

This hummingbird is currently looking for a home to call his own. If you wish to visit him, you can currently find him in my etsy shop that can be found at www.LuvAlisa.com. 

Angel Wings....

ANGEL WINGS MOONSTONE EARRINGS

ANGEL WINGS....

Sitting here watching the Endeavour Shuttle on TV make it's final flight around Southern California Piggy backed on top a 747 is making me feel a little teary eyed this morning.  Such a beautiful sight in the sky and just knowing this is the last flight for this machine makes everything so bittersweet. 

As I watch this flight live on TV, I thought about which piece of mine to share on my blog today and it was clear to me that it has to be these cute Angel Wing moonstone Earrings are fitting for the mood. The space shuttle reminds me of a little angel in the sky. These simple earrings are bronze in tone and feature a simple pure white rainbow moonstone gemstone.  Something fun to spice up any jewelry collection. :)
