Crystals and Jewelry Q&A

This question is thanks to a friend who saw last week's poll question and wanted to know right then what gold filled is!

QUESTION: "What is gold filled anyway?"

MY ANSWER: "Contrary to popular belief, gold filled is not something filled with gold. It's exactly the opposite. It's gold filled with base metal. A tube of 14 karat (or other karat) gold is permanently bonded to a inner core of base metal, usually copper. By law, gold filled has to be at least 1/20th of the weight of the finished metal, so gold filled has a lot more gold than gold plate which only has to be a few microns thick. Because the whole outside of the metal is 14 karat gold, everything you see and that touches your skin in gold filled jewelry is actually 14 karat gold. So gold filled works well for many people with sensitive skin! Gold filled is much sturdier than gold plate and doesn't tend to flake and peel and it's tarnish resistant. So it's a great economical alternative to the price of solid gold or the short-lived gold plate."


*****************************

Interesting Link

Masaru Emoto's website http://www.masaru-emoto.net/english/entop.html has some awesome photos of water crystals and fascinating information about water. He's found that water crystals respond to positive energy and beautiful music. I think that's awesome!

*****************************
Fun Poll Results

This past week's poll was about the question I mentioned above, "What is gold filled?" Most people (46%) said that it's base metal filled with gold, which we now know isn't the case. 31% said that it's a thin gold plating on base metal, which isn't quite right either. 15% got it right with the answer Karat Gold over Base Metal. Kudos to you folks! And 8% said none of the above. I can see I wasn't doing a good job telling folks what gold filled is. I'll keep working on that!

The new poll for the week is up now at http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/news.html#poll.

Try to stay warm and have a great rest of the weekend!

Many Blessings!

Got a new look AND a celebration!

Hiya!

I am SO excited! I finally finished my revamp of the site. I've given it a clean and FASTER LOADING new look. Woo hoo! I've also moved a few things around and added some new goodies. If you have a bookmark and the page is gone now, or you find something whacked, head on over to the home page at http://www.CrystalsAndJewelry.com to find your way, or do a search at http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/search.html. If you still can't find it, drop me an email and I'll help you out. I don't want you getting lost! And breadcrumbs are kind of impractical on the net for finding your way. hehehe

I mentioned the site's new look right off. There's more, though! Check it out!

I'm celebrating the new look and stuff with a sale. Yep! Don't tell Mr. Volunteer Man, he'll choke. haha! For 3 days only, you can get 10% off anything at CrystalsAndJewelry.com to celebrate. Just click the sale button at

New Jewelry Making Section!
So many folks have asked questions about stones for jewelry, general jewelry info, how I make it, and do I carry various jewelry supplies, that I decided I just have to have a jewelry making section. It's not huge yet, but knowing me, it will be before long! I do have a LARGE resources section, though, with links to tips, tutorials, places to get supplies and stones (yes, competitors, but who's scared of them!), and more. If you make jewelry, peek into the jewelry making section and bookmark it. I will be growing and growing because I simply love to make jewelry.
http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/jewelry_making.html

Last week I introduced Petals of DelightTM Handmade Beaded Flowers Jewelry. That was super, but one thing was missing. Each flower didn't have it's own page yet. I've fixed that so now you can easily see all the photos and info at a glance.

Crystals and Jewelry Q&A

QUESTION: "What is vermeil and how do you say it?"

MY ANSWER: "Vermeil is sterling silver that is coated with heavy 22k or 24k gold electroplate that is used in jewelry making. It is used as an economical alternative to solid gold. After all, a 24k gold piece of jewelry would not only be soft since pure gold is soft, it would also be pretty darned costly. As for how you say it, I've heard it said all kinds of ways. The correct way to say it from what I've been able to determine from research is 'ver-MAY' since it's originally a French term. I hope that helps!"

*****************************
Fun Poll Results

This past week's poll question was "What is a parure?" Most folks already knew, since 65% gave the technically correct answer "Matched Set of Jewelry." 6% said French jewelry which is sort of correct, as the word parure is French so it originated with French jewelry. 18% said it was an exotic mineral and 12% says it was none of the choices. No one believed it was an exotic parrot or a native of Paris. You folks know more about jewelry than most!

The new poll for the week is up now at http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/news.html#poll.

*****************************

I want to thank you all again for the good wishes and prayers and healing energy for my Dad. He's doing well and expecting to go home from the hospital in the next couple of days. I really appreciate all the support, and he's just been blown away that so many folks from all over the world are being so supporting and caring. You guys are great!

The Lowdown at CrystalsAndJewelry.com

Hiya!

It's Saturday again! Very early Saturday, but Saturday nonetheless. So I hope you're getting into having a good weekend. I plan to have a good one! I don't have any huge plans, but that's particularly fun for me in the Fall. Curling up with a good book, a nice crystal, and a warm blanky sounds good!

*****************************

Here's the lowdown on the news and goodies from this week at CrystalsAndJewelry.com. Go check them out. It's fun to see what's new just for the heck of it. At least I always think it is when I get to visit sites!

Gold jewelry - Now this is an interesting subject. I don't carry much 14KGF at this point, although I gladly do custom work in 14KGF or karat golds. But Beth has stepped up to the plate and made some goodies for you that have made it to the site this week. Her 14KGF chrysacolla pendant is to die for. I should come up with some reason to buy it myself! Check out her new gold jewelry gallery at
http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/bethsgoldjewelry.html

Individual quartz crystals - Dow and Rainbow and Lazer, oh my!
http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/quartzcrystals2.html

More jewelry - Hot off the pliers, ranging from $19.95 up. Something for most any budget or taste.
http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/jewelry.html
And Mr Volunteer Man volunteered the info that it was hard to tell where the new jewelry was. Oopsy! Bad me! So I've highlighted the most recent jewelry on the main jewelry page with purple. It matches my bubble wrap I ship packages in. Woo hoo!

Or for those of you who want the direct route, try these:
Classic & Elegant Jewelry
http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/classic_jewelry.html
Mystical Jewelry
http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/mystical_jewelry.html
AWESOME Gemstone Jewelry

Bold & Dramatic Jewelry
http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/bold_dramatic_jewelry.html
Elemental Jewelry
http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/elemental_jewelry.html

Rare/Specialty/Limited stones have increased. Yay! They're always fun ones.
http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/rare_specialty.html

I've updated Stones by Use (metaphysical use, that is) page for you. I've even highlighted my faves with bold.
http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/stonesbyuse.html

And I have a new Gallery of Sold Jewelry. Why on earth, you ask? So you can peek just for fun. And it's helpful for finding types of things you might like for custom jewelry made just for you. :)

New stones too! African Kyanite that's just gorgeous, and more.

Crystals and Jewelry Q&A

QUESTION: "I have three pieces of what is labelled as Peacock Ore, beautiful stone like coal, but with the brilliant irridescent blues and greens and purples of peacock feathers. Can you tell me anything about it?"

MY ANSWER: "That would be chalcopyrite, which is known as Peacock Ore or Peacock Rock. It also comes with golden and green looking sparkly iridescence too, but that's not seen
as often as the blues and pinks and greens."

*****************************

I found a neat site about jewelry today. It's a UK site that has neat information about the history of jewelry. It also has all kinds of other fashion tidbits too. Check it out at http://www.fashion-era.com/jewellery.htm#Gold%20In%20Egypt%203000%20BC It even tells about the origin of birthstones and how the tv shows Dynasty and Dallas affected jewelry fashion.

*****************************
Fun Poll Results

This week's fun poll question was, "What type of quartz crystals do you prefer?" The overhwelming answer was Brazil, at 71%. Arkansas, China, and Madagascar didn't rate with 0% each. That was a bit of a shocker to me. "Other" got the rest of the botes at 29%. Now I'm dying of curiosity. What are these "other" crystals? Perhaps my question wasn't clear enough or I blanked out and missed something normally obvious. If you voted "other", drop me a note on what other kinds of crystals you prefer, if you'd like. I'd love to know!

*****************************

Have a fantastic weekend!

Many Blessings!

Crystals and Jewelry Q&A

I just got this one in today, but it was a good question that several have asked over the years, so I thought I'd get it right out to you!

QUESTION: "Why, do some pendants point up and some point down? Does it make a significant difference? What does that do to the energy to the person wearing it?"

MY ANSWER: "With my jewelry, some pendants have crystals that point up and others point down for one of two reasons. The most mundane reason is that it just looks better one way or another; I'm usually a bit more energetically inclined though! Crystals pointing up in pendants tend to pull energy into the upper chakras. Crystals pointing down in pendants tend to pull energy into the lower chakras. So the use or need of the person the jewelry is for determines which direction the crystal points. The energy of the person wearing it would be affected by whether the upper or lower chakras were stimulated. I hope that helps!"
*****************************

This week I signed the Business Ethics Pledge. It wasn't hard for me, since that's the way I strive to do business all the time - ethically. But we're trying to get a quarter million business people to sign up to change the face of business in the world today. Let's put people first! You can see the pledge and info at http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/businessethics.html

I hope you have a fantastic weekend and a great upcoming week! Keep warm :)

Sale? Yes! Sale! New shopping cart too :)

Hiya!

Phew! What a weekend. I spent my weekend and the last couple days of the week, with a lot of Mr Volunteer Man's help, setting up a whole new shopping cart at CrystalsAndJewelry.com. Why? Well it certainly wasn't because I'm so fond of coding! The old shopping cart system had gotten senile or something, and just wasn't doing the job. So I had to get rid of it and get a new cart. The cool part is that the new cart is MUCH better than the old one. Now the cart can be used for orders to be paid via credit card, PayPal, and mail in payments! Woo hoo! That will make everything so much easier for you. :) So I'm glad of it all, after all.

AND...

As I promised on the site, whether you saw it or not, to celebrate the new shopping cart (and us getting it up and running), I'm having a
SALE! 10% off everything in stock at CrystalsAndJewelry.com http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com
Just click the handy button on the front page before you go cruising around, and if you decide to buy, the cart will take the 10% off automatically. No more having to remember to put in codes. Woo hoo!

*****************************
CrystalsAndJewelry.com Q&A

QUESTION: "I am wondering which crystals or stones are useful in protection against spirit attachments? (ie: being in an area thick with spirit activity)"

MY ANSWER: "Black tourmaline is my top pick for protection of most any kind. It's strong energy is good protection, and it also transmutes negative enregy to positive energy. Witches Fingers would also be good for protection from spirit attachments. I have to say, though, that my experience with spirits has shown me that the best way to protect from them is with personal shielding and flat out telling them to leave you alone. Simple, but backed with the power of your will, it can be highly effective."
*****************************

A good friend gave me a neat link earlier this week. It's one of those self-help sites. Go ahead, groan. I did before I started reading. hehehe But this one turned out to be a good one with lots of food for though. You might want to check it out. It's at http://www.selfcreation.com/

Because of the push to get the new shopping cart up and running, I didn't get any new stuff up on the site this week. Whoopsy! I can only manage to go without sleep so much, though. hehehe But there are (and now I'm sure of it) hundreds of goodies for you that are on sale with the 10% off. :) So come visit and see if there's anything you're intersted in. Or heck, just come visit and read about stomes. Whatever suits :)

Healing/Prayer List Reminder

I do free healing energywork / prayerwork free upon request. Get more info and send your request at http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/healingprayerlist.html. I'll start the day I receive your request even if I don't get a chance to email you back to acknowledge it for a couple of days. Healing before email! You can also send a free healing request at The Distance Healing Network http://www.the-dhn.com

If you're interested in volunteering and doing healing / prayer work, don't forget to stop by the Healing / Prayer Board regularly to see who's requesting help.

I do NOT like SPAM! I get too much of it myself - I'm up to an average of 1000 a day! So my email list is a double opt-in email list, meaning that you (or someone using your email address) asked to receive emails from me, and then verified that again before being added to the list. I don't buy email lists from anyone and I don't sell mine! If you decide you don't want emails from me any more, just unsubscribe at the bottom of any page of http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com, or email me at robyn@crystalsandjewelry.com and let me know.
