Sayang Bali (S$55/US$33.30) SOLD

I was reminded of magical Bali yesterday, after receiving one of those fun questionaire e-mails friends sometimes send each other about favourite places, foods, etc etc. Bali is one of my favourite destinations, so happy memories came flooding back. So when "play" time came, these mother-of-pearl beads called out to be made into something, and Sayang Bali (Love Bali) emerged.

The pendant is dalmation jasper, accented with wirework which depicts the waves of Bali. Interspersed between the shells are glimmering little Swarovski crystals, faceted smokey quartz and Swarovski pearls. S-hook clasp is 14K gold-filled. Necklace measures about 17 1/2 inches.

Metaphysical Properties of Jasper (based on internet research): Jasper was another favourite stone of the ancients and it comes in a constellation of varieties! Jasper is said to drive away negativity and give the user courage to be true to oneself in thought, word and deed.

Metaphysical Properties of Smokey Quartz (based on internet research): Said to attract good luck, helps get rid of negative energy and promotes a sense of well-being. People say that smokey quartz also helps one reach personal and business goals.
