Copper - Gemstone or Mineral

Next to silver and gold, many jewelry designs are accented in copper. While it is not an actual gemstone, what is it really? Copper is a native element that occurs in nature uncombined with other elements. The native elements form under greatly contrasting physical and chemical conditions; in a variety of rock types. So, what is copper exactly? It is a naturally occurring free metallic state, considered to be one of the first metals to be used by humans. It is a relatively soft metal, easy to solder, flex and manipulate into any form; this is why it is a popular material used by wire workers in early designs or tests before conforming the designs to silver or gold. It gets its name from the Latin aes Cyprium, meaning ‘metal of Cyprus’, shortened to cyprium and later corrupted into cuprum.

Copper is found in large quantities, usually massive aggregates, some said to weight up to several tons. When copper is well crystallized, it can be found in cubic or dodecahedral crystals in the forms of mini tree-like shapes. It can be found all over the world with most common deposits in the United States. It is usually orange or copper red in color and looks good mixed with any gemstones.

Copper’s healing power have been used since the Middle Ages to promote smooth functioning of the glands and prevent wear and tear of joints. It encourages a positive attitude and self-confidence, improve decision making and brings harmony among the members of a family.

Many of the jewelry designs created at Timeless Designs incorporate copper in some way. Visit our website to see the selection of necklaces and pendants done with copper.

Chic Blended Navy Crystals

More and more I’m working with crystals; either in pure crystal designs or a mixture between natural stone and crystals. Crystals are a very versatile bead and I like them because they come in an array of colors, blending easily with just about any jewelry design.

In this particular necklace I did a double strand to get more of a unique look with the pearls, but not charmed. I’ve blended together a graduated strand of metallic navy blue, almost sapphire colored faceted rondelle crystals and add a few light blue crystals at the bottom of the necklace. Pewter star fancy bead caps have been added to the crystals and little clear round crystal spacers are between for a bit more ‘bling’. Between I’ve mixed again are freshwater cultured pearl irregular nuggets in colors of yellow, champagne and cream.


Pearl: Purity, faith, charity, innocence, integrity, focus, wisdom, spirituality, sincerity, fertility.

Title: Review: Bayou Chic Collection

I really love how easily these blend and how the shades are different. They are very unique, not shades I could find in everyday shopping. Matte shades are generally a little harder to blend so I don't use a paint pot, however, I used a paint pot only so they would stick and they blended so well.

Happy Holidays + a break

I can't believe it's already time to sign off for the holidays, but alas, the time is here.  I'm working up until Christmas Eve but I still have lots to prepare for including more wrapping!   B and I will be spending the holidays with our family in Atlanta and then we're spending New Years with my brother in Dallas, Texas.  I can't wait! 

I'm sure I'll popping in with a few quick posts before the New Year (you know I could never stay away for too long) but I'm looking to take a substantial break from the blog until January 3rd.  Thank you for all the love and kindness you've shown me this past year.  It's been a good ride.  I wish you and your families a safe, happy holiday season and I hope all of your holiday dreams come true. xoxo

Interiors: Stoned

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts about stone interiors because although I find these spaces intriguing and the stone incredibly versatile (as seen in these minimalist and modern examples), I can't help but think how cold these spaces would be in the winter.  I mean really cold! There is a special quite beauty to pale stone walls that I appreciate though.  What do you think?

Title: Interview with the vampire: love and hate

i was bored and sick so i made a new vid the sound doesn`t match that perfect because my computer does very strange things latley enjoy ^^ Within Temptation - Jillian I've been dreaming for so long, to find a meaning to understand. The secret of life, why am I here to try again? Will I always, will you always see the truth when it stares you in the face? Will I ever, will I never free myself by breaking these chains? Chorus: I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul. I'd turn it back, it's my fault. Your destiny is forlorn, have to live till it's undone. I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul. I'd turn it back and then at last I'll be on my way. I've been living for so long, many seasons have passed me by. I've seen kingdoms through ages rise and fall, I've seen it all. I've seen the horror, I've seen the wonders happening just in front of my eyes. Will I ever, will I never free myself by making it right? Jillian our dream ended long ago. All our stories and all our glory I held so dear. We won't be together for ever and ever, no more tears. I'll always be here until the end. Jillian, no more tears Jillian, no more tears The Music is been Mute because I had no right to use it. The song I used is from Within Temptation - Jillian

Welcome to my office

Thanks to my Mum, Christmas came early this year and i scored a brand spanking new laptop to take on my adventures into the unknown.....Gypsy life is definitely fun if not somewhat inconvenient when it come to keeping up with laundry.....

Anyway, i'm now mobile. I absolutely love it but the only downside is that arranging pics on here is kind of hard on this comp.....either that or i'm just too much of a tech retard to know how to operate something that isn't an early 90's piece of junk like the last PC i was running with.....

I'm busy packing up the last of my stuff today. 18 days til i land back on home turf (Perth)

Here's a few pics from the week that was......

Title: Current Republican leadership, you blew it, welcome new Republicans

The current Republicans in the lame-duck Congress met with the head of the regime, President Barack Obama (Democrat). They agreed to extend the "Bush tax cuts" for another two years, in return agreed to extend unemployment benefits. The problem is the Republicans betrayed "paygo." This was an agreement not to approve any spending legislation unless it is paid for by revenues, not adding to the nation's deficit (thank you China). This current bunch of Republicans just did not get the message of the recent elections. Message: 1-Smaller government 2-Lower taxes 3-No deficit spending 4-Fidelity to the United States Constitution Hopefully the new Republicans coming into office for the 112th Congress received the message loud and clear from the electorate. A reminder to the new Republicans: fail to adhere to the mandate these next two years, and you too with the rest of the Republicans will be thrown out of office. Another political party will be formed thus throwing the Republicans to third-party status and on the scrap heap of history. You have these next two years to prove you heard the electorate loud and clear. - Ignore cries of bipartisanship as the Democrats have these past two years and ignore the news media. Ignore the electorate at your own peril. Bush era tax cuts unemployment benefits Election results Republican Party Congress Democrats 2010 elections stay focus Constitution compromise reaching across the aisle bipartisan President Obama elections have consequence biased news media House of Representatives propagandabuster propaganda buster tony
