on light and love ~

'only from the heart can you touch the sky.'
~ rumi

these earrings are meant to reflect the vastness and transcendence of an open heart... antiqued sterling edged in enamel... beautifully faceted labradorite which is believed to purge negativity... softly colored fibers by myfanwy... at once ephemeral and timeless - 

'beauty is not in the face;
beauty is a light in the heart.'
~ kahlil gibran

beauty emerges - bronze and layered enamel... as we move through and past the societal demand of physical beauty, we unearth what we had all along... and when we connect with it, it shines like a beacon to others... rubellite used for its ability to allow one to open up... fibers again from sassalynne at etsy... 

'all material in nature,
the mountains and the streams and the air and we,
are made up of Light which has been spent,
and this crumpled mass called material casts a shadow,
and the shadow belongs to Light.'
~ louis kahn
