Every year, Kythryne of @wyrdingstudios does a project for the New Year of setting intentions in jewelry. They post a link in the Magpies group on the bookenfacen so that anybody who likes to can go in and answer a poll - how many dollars do you want to spend, do have preferred colors, do you want a pendant/brooch/neckline/shawl pin/earrings etc, what intention do you want to set with the piece, and are there any things you definitely do (or don’t) want in it? And how soon?
I participate every year, a Yule slash yearchange slash birthday gift to muhself. This year’s intentional I chose is “perseverance”. Today it came!
Every time I order from them, there’s always a sweet little lagniappe. Usually it’s a pair of earrings, but this time it’s an adorably cottagecore yellow iridescent flower pendant.
They always include a little card with the item specifying the intentional word and then what stones they used and why. Garnet for courage and amethyst for grounding and calm, which sounds excellent.
The swirlssssss!!!! The balance! It’s a good thing I was sitting down.
Catches the light amazingly.
Perseverance AND some shiny that I can fidget with at work. Perfect.
