This earring was made by first carving it in wax and then casting it. The pattern is of pretty dragonflies in blue and teal with a little bit of a pink background.


The dragonfly symbolizes change and change in the perspective of self realization; and the kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life.

Turquoise Properties

Turquoise is a good gem to wear to work as it helps promote leadership and strengthens communication skills. It's also a protection gem so it helps shield you from physical harm.

Turquoise is also an immune system support stone.



Cloisonné (French pronunciation: ​[klwazɔne]) is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects. In recent centuries, vitreous enamel has been used, and inlays of cut gemstones, glass and other materials were also used during older periods. The resulting objects can also be called cloisonné.

Enamelling goes back to ancient times when glass enamels were used in metalwork. This enabled the jeweler to use glass instead of rare gems.

Enamels are fine particles of glass applied to metal to add color. Usually enamels are dry sifted onto the surface or by wet packing the enamel into channels or cut out areas in the metal. The enamel is then heated until it softens and flows.
