According to the Chinese astrology, 2025 is the year of the wood snake. Chinese astrology consists of 12 zodiac animals
and 5 elements. Each zodiac animal sign is associated with a fixed element, though astrology considers the combination of
animal sign and element for the birth year. The Snake is a symbol of wisdom, intuition, and mystery.
Paired with the Wood element, it brings forth an energy that emphasizes growth, renewal, and grounded decision-making.
For the year of the snake, I updated the jewelry gift page,
20 Under 30,
to offer two precious metal chain necklaces and charms featuring snakes without end. These bronze charms are
an ouroboros snake and infinity snake (symbols of eternal cyclic renewal), and they are paired with sterling silver
or gold-fill chains for a great price.
The
Surf's Up necklace and earring set
and
Rowing earrings are retro wooden pieces inspired
by water sports. They feature natural wood and gemstones in shades of old wooden boards and oars.
Summer time is a terrific time for gathering fruit and enjoying berries, watermelon, and other tasty
treats. The
Summertime Fruit necklace features
strawberry quartz in luscious pink and green, while the
Mona
earrings are lovely popsicle purple. The
Laurels earrings
are a warm triumph of gemstones and gold.
Pieces are lovingly hand made with the best components: natural gemstones, precious metal, and top of the
line glass components like uniform Japanese seedbeads. Each is designed for comfortable wear and long life,
with robust, flexible beading cord.
The cards shown here are from
River Stone Designs, one of the card product
lines. The Queen Bee card is from the
Impressions page featuring
stamp like clip art, and the coffee cup is from the
Daily Bread page
featuring designs with everyday objects.
