Native American Beaded Bracelet (Stylized Butterfly Cuff) : jstinson - ArtFire Jewelry

This bright and bold loomed cuff bracelet features a sylized butterfly design. The butterflies are bright pearlized pink beads highlighted with black and teal beads. The spacer area is beaded in bright teal and amber seed beads.

The cuff is 2 inches wide and will fit wrists up to 7 inches. The closure is made of handbeaded ball beads and loops.

To Native Americans, the butterfly is a symbol of joy. They remind us not to take life so seriously. They feed on flowers that they help pollinate, thereby further spreading beauty. They represent the element of air, quickly changing and ever moving, so gracefully. Butterflies are messengers of the moment.

They come in a variety of colors. If you like this bracelet but would prefer it in different colors or a different size, please let me know and I will be happy to loom one just for you!

Native American Turquoise Ankle Bracelet : jstinson - ArtFire Jewelry

This beautiful ankle bracelet is made to fit ankles from 7 to 10 inches. It could also double as a bracelet for those requiring a longer than average bracelet length.

I have hand wire wrapped the five natural turquoise stones and attached them to a silver plated chain. Feather charms were added to promote positive energy as you go about your day. A cute "hand made" charm was added just for fun and to proclaim the fact that it is a hand made piece.

The lobster claw clasp and chain make it possible to adjust the anklet (or bracelet)to the length desired.

This bracelet will bring you many compliments and is fun to wear!

Native American Fetish Necklace (Frog Medicine Necklace) : jstinson - ArtFire Jewelry

In many Native American cultures, frog medicine represents the cleansing properties of water and rain to bring about renewal of the body and spirit.

The beautiful necklace was designed to honor the frog who sees a need and ribets his song. It is heard by the birds who deliver the song to the Thunder Beings. The Thunder Beings and Father Sky bring the support and cleansing needed for renewal.

The centerpiece frog featured in this necklace is hand carved whale bone from Alaska. The tree of life birds are shell fetishes. The colors used, red, black and white, are three of the four colors from the medicine wheel. The foundation beads are seed beads and Delicas.

The primary necklace is 30 inches long. The inner necklace is 20 inches from joining point to joining point. The frog is 1 1/2 inches long by 7/8's inches wide. No clasp is required as the necklace fits easily over the head.

This necklace is a call to frog medicine for peace, joy and a renewal of spirit.

Native American Beaded Earrings Midnight In The Pumpkin Patch : jstinson - ArtFire Jewelry

These earrings are just in time for the fall harvest! They are adorable ghosts who have helped themselves to Mother Earth's bounty. Each has a cute orange pumpkin complete with green leaves clutched in their hands as they are posed to make their great escape.

The earrings are beaded in shimmering white Delica beads on a midnight blue sky back ground. The "tails" of their sheets are in very small Delica hex beads to give them "drape" as they swoosh through the night. They are framed in gold.

The beaded portions of the earrings are 1 1/2 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. The surgical steel earwires add an additional 1/2 inch to the overall drop of the earrings.

These mischeivious (but harmless) little ghosts will make a great addition to your fall jewelry wardrobe!
