Tangerine Dream Team

Would you like a gemstone crystal pendant made, meticulously handcrafted with the highest intentions for love, growth, empowerment, and joy? It’s an honour to offer personal, heartfelt service to all who appreciate wearing authentic, ancient crystals and gemstones, reminding us of our connection to our ancient Mother Earth, and those who simply love wearing unique, handcrafted items of beauty. I hope all Kathryn Jane Design pendants serve as reminders to breathe, and embody the powerful, renewing energies of Nature. Whether for yourself or a loved one, it would be an honour to create something unique and deeply meaningful, drawing from my range of carefully hand-selected shaped cabochons or tumbled freeform gemstones, or transforming your special taonga (favourite gemstone treasures) into stunning pieces of jewellery. Please be assured, your treasures will be handled with the utmost care and respect. My creation time is sacred. Whenever possible, I venture into the heart of Nature to create, where the powerful, yet tranquil, energy most supports my intuitive creative process, all the while mindfully honouring the integrity and unique expression each gemstone crystal, and holding the highest intentions for you, the eventual recipient of the pendant. To complete the wire-wrapping process, the individual ‘threads’ of the silver framework are gathered together and folded over to create an ankh-shaped loop from which the pendant will be suspended on a chain. This feels so highly symbolic – like gathering up and integrating the multiple facets of one’s life to form cohesion, supporting and framing an authentic expression of one’s unique self. In order for this glorious artistic expression to be transformed into a wearable pendant, the ends of the threads, (wires), need to be trimmed, then tethered securely to each other. I love the metaphor of this – the rich tapestry of our past experiences, growing through experiences that weren’t necessarily ‘pretty’, provides the strength and backbone that allows our lights to now shine so spectacularly. All pendants are handcrafted with the greatest of care to find the balance between artistic expression on the outward facing side, with security and durability on the reverse. Sometimes it can be difficult to choose which gemstone we'd like to wear as a pendant, because they are all so incredibly beautiful! If you'd like inspiration to help choose, oracle cards are available. Most commonly used are the Liquid Crystal Oracle by Justin Moikeha Asar. The price to create your pendant will depend upon stone used, size, amount of silver used, intricacy of design, and time spent creating. Charges generally range from approximately $90 to $350. Contact me for further pricing details for your unique project. Looking forward to collaborating with you in order to create a beautiful, unique pendant, specifically for your needs. Here’s a wee peek at a selection of the various cabochons and tumbled gemstone crystals available to be transformed into pendants. If you're searching for a particular stone, please feel free to ask. There's a chance I have something in my vast collection. I'm also able to provide further information and photographs for anything that may catch your eye, (or heart). In particular, if you're interested in labradorite, please contact me. (Labradorite is being transformed into pendants so often, that I struggle to keep the cabochon album up to date.) For inspiration for your new pendant's design, see Previous Pendants. Looking forward to connecting with you soon!
