Oh I couldn’t help but create another colour boost-post after this glorious summer! We are back in Cape Town where we made the acquaintance of Jeanette, the necklace designer from last year’s two posts: South African handmade vintage necklaces – chapter I and South African handmade vintage necklaces – chapter II.
Rose quartz gives this necklace such a soft, romantic look
A closer view of Jeanette’s design
I have two more necklaces from her collection to show you today – a pink and a purple one and they are both just radiating colour and joy! This first one contains the lovely gemstone rose quartz. Rose quartz is a very special crystal when used in healing because of its powers to attract and keep love. In feng shui it is used as a love cure. It is believed to help healing the heart from pain and disappointment, and dissolve painful memories in one’s love-life. It is a happy and loving stone and it embraces all kinds of love: family, friends, love for yourself and romantic love. It also brings peace to us by relieving stress, bringing forgiveness, easing feelings of guilt and bringing families together. What a precious little stone it is indeed!

And then there is this purple necklace in which Jeanette has used beads in various shades that complement each other and tousled around to create an illusion of movement. She also incorporates parts from vintage pieces of jewellery to give the necklaces another dimension of charm and uniqueness, which we just love. So thank you dear Jeanette for letting us look closer at your beautiful pieces.
A very happy Friday to you as well my dear!
