There is a variety of pieces in their boutique,


each labeled to identify the different minerals

Amazonite and Amethyst


This month at PT Massage, Hawaiian Magpie is featuring








and some Amethyst



and a little Ametrine .


I fell in love with Amazonite when I found this stone in Antigua, Guatemala, back in April.


The richness of the purple and blue together are irresistible to me.


Like a robins egg. Do you remember the color? That tiny, fragile half of a shell you'd find on the sidewalk in late spring; you'd pick it up knowing that somewhere above you a new little robin had started it's life.

 There are some whimsical pendants.

 Some minimalistic bracelets.

Intricately handcrafted earrings

 to mix

and match


Simple.


Elegant.

Unique signature pieces waiting for you to come adopt them.

Custom Clasp

I had a particularly lovely little custom order to do this week. 


Linda Weiland is an amazing woman who was recently elected as the president for the Honolulu chapter of 
Zonta; a womens advocacy group. You can check out her blog here.


Linda got some fabulous pearls from an estate sale several years ago, but sadly the clasp just wasn't up to snuff. I built a delicate little gold S shaped clasp right onto the necklace. 


Linda hand picked 3 beautiful pieces of green amazonite which I made into matching earrings and pendant, with a bail large enough to slip over her wonderful pearls.

Arrowhead

I had an interesting project recently: an arrowhead pendant.

 

T went to Colorado, and while there found a genuine Native American artifact: a broken arrowhead. 


She brought it back to Honolulu and asked me to wrap it for her. Not your usual pendant, eh?

My friend Lourdes


took one look at this Amazonite pendant while I was in the middle of putting it together and had to have it.


It looks beautiful on you, Lulu!
