Did you know Valentines Day goes back to 496 AD? The celebration is named after Saint Valentine and was later shortened to Valentine's Day. Removed from the Roman calendar in 1969, the day was a time for lovers to express there affection for each other. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day
In modern times the day is used to commemorate love for each other not just lovers. The traditional of giving flowers, sweets and cards has given way to the heart shaped symbol, the winged baby Cupid and mass produced cards instead of hand written cards.
How will you celebrate Valentine's Day?

Bloody Basin Agate Pendant Wirewrapped in 14KT Goldfilled http://etsy.me/senZg1 Shades of Billie Holiday. Jewelry#handmade#wirequeen
You will own the only one this one won't be duplicated. Amber carved into a Honeycomb flatback cab. I dreamed this pendant, usually I say her but this one can be worn by a man or woman. I had the amber for two years before I made this pendant. The amber was sent to me by a metalsmith friend of mine who admires my work. We trade stones and amber to see what the other will do with them. I think he will be pleased with this pretty. It ships with a chain so it can be worn out of the box.
This the only one there is.
Pendant in 18 gage Sterling Silver sculpture is;
Length: 2 in. 5.08 cm
A sterling silver 20 inch chain with lobster is included so it can be worn on receipt. If you want a different length chain just put it in the comments to seller at check out.
My Billy Holiday Pendant/ brooch is a free form Bloody Basin Agate. The stone looks like a storm of blood droplets captured in mid flight. I heard the song "Strange Fruit" when I was in my twenties and living in Houston, Texas. I could never get the song out of my head. The song started playing in my head as soon as I saw this stone. The brooch/pendant is my tribute to Lady Day as Billie Holliday was affectionately known. Perfect for the current 40's vintage look worn at the shoulder. Wear when you want to set yourself apart. One of a kind is such an overworked term but this is an original, the stone cannot be duplicated.
Handcrafted by one of my favorite gem cutters from Mid-Michigan. He began cutting stone in his twenties. I met he and his wife at a show. He would save certain stones for me and I would bring him pictures of what I had made with the stone. We were like co-conspirators (or little kids in a candy store sharing a new candy). We would be in a corner pouring over the stones and the details. His wife would laugh at us and other customers would try to see what we were looking at. (Who knew Africa had turquoise?). Unfortunately, he was self-taught and didn't know the dangers of breathing some of the stones when he started out. He joined the Ancestors in his sixties.
May he rest in peace.
