Each Patricia Crosby design is artistically created, visually beautiful and fashionable... but its true value lies in each piece's power to affect the wearer's vibration and experience.

This 18" beaded strand, and matching earrings, highlights the wide variety tourmaline colors from deepest blue-green to smoky pink. The necklace closes with a substantial 14 carat gold toggle clasp. The matching earrings suspend a blue-green faceted drop from a one inch 14 carat beaded gold chain.

The set was individually designed and hand-made, created with stones that have been millions of years in the making by awesome forces. The artist incorporates stones that are recognized for certain mystical properties. Tourmalines are noted for encouraging self-confidence and removing fear. Ms. Crosby feels that these and other stones from the planet's core vibrate with the rest of the universe on a level is only now being understood. With the earth's energy literally concentrated in these stones, their healing powers are palpable.

The designer's personal fascination and experience with stones came about upon wearing a particular ring with a beautiful tanzanite gemstone. The enduring result brought great happiness and harmony to her life and inspired her to create a unique collection of jewelry, in particularly featuring necklaces, relating to honest personal expression and communication. This item will be a featured item at the Silent Auction at the 2008 Benefit on January 23rd.
