Fae Gems & Baubles, Etsy: Elf Ear Cuffs, for Fairy Lovers, Cosplayers, and New Agers

I don’t like to flaunt my creations, (in fact, I write more about other people’s art in Artist Spotlights than my own) but for a dose of good measure- and to prove that I am actually a crafter- I present Fae Gems & Baubles Elven Ear Cuffs! I began my Etsy store back in June of this year, and I’ve been having a blast wire wrapping. I’m aiming to create new age friendly baubles that enhance the lives of those who receive them. I’ve been mulling over the idea of hosting weekly giveaways, or creating an in-store credit program; I don’t want to be inhibited in my spirit work because of monetary confinements.

I started crafting these ear cuffs as part of a fascination with the Fae Realm (and dressing the part!). Each elf/fairy ear cuff may be worn to invoke the properties of the gemstones they’re crafted with; my Aventurine cuffs are the most popular, as they invoke the presence of faries!

Each elven ear cuff is made with copper wire to augment the metaphysical properties of the stones featured in each piece. For calmness and solidarity of thought, take a peek at the
blue Howlite ear cuffs. For protection and a stone for grounding and clarty of thought Black Jasper is for you. Amethyst offers wearers divine spiritual guidance, and may be used to re-attune, or awaken latent psychic abilities.

I’ve recently graduated to creating male Elven ear cuffs (they’re made with thicker wire), so that guys can partake in the wonderment too! They’re available in Black Jasper, and a Red Agate combination; they’ve been getting favorites!

Fae Gems & Baubles takes custom requests for Fairy/Elven ear cuffs; you can change the color of the wires, the specific gemstones used, or request a totally different themed ear cuff (like dragon, or nymph!).

Fairy cuffs make the perfect addition to any New Age wardrobe, and fabulous gifts for friends! Recently I’ve sold a couple of pairs to eager cosplayers. The cuffs come in a pair, and may be ordered with additional pieces, such as matching pendants, hair pins, fairy rings, and bangles.

I made these especially with Lyla in mind!

Artist Spotlight, Etsy: Fairy Moon Pendant, by DaKara Kies

Fairies are able to captivate spiritual twinklings in the hearts of those still open to their existence. The fae appear in lore and mythology around the globe, and their presence is best felt in the brambles of a wood, the lapping of a giddy stream, at the embrace of a fire, and the caress of the jovial breeze. The wee folk are around us in all aspects of our waking lives, beyond the veil, yet intertwined between our Earth and the Astral Plane.

Fairy Key

This Fairy Moon Pendant features a stunning fairy enamored by the immaculate moon; swooning alike the natural phases of the Goddess. Adorned with swarovski crystal, this pendant is an ideal addition to any witches’ collection to help strengthen the bond between the physical plane and the Fae Realm. As Samhain approaches what blessings will you celebrate with the fae?

DaKara Kies is a master energy healer based in Everett, Washington; she is dear to me, being Fae Gems’ first “outside” (non-related) customer. DaKara’s Art Creations give breath to a myriad of magickal beings, including fairies, dragons, and angels. All of Kies’ creations are blessed with her healing energy, and vibrate at high frequencies. As an elementalist of keys, DaKara’s creations can help you touch the elementals around you.

Kies on her creative process:

I have been intuitive all of my life, though for many years (from about age 5 to around age 22) I denied that I had this connection to Nature, the Faerie realm and to Source energy. I have always loved being creative from childhood into my adult years.

Dragon Key

My current work involves following my guidance in purchasing all kinds of supplies, including metal charms, beads in both glass crystal form and semi precious beads, fabrics etc. I love all things sparkly, especially swarovski crystal elements. When shopping I find myself attracted to different items I have no idea how I will use them, and then in the creative process I am shown how to use them. This makes my heart sing!

When I take a seat at my jewelry creation station I am guided to ‘who’ wants to come out and play. I receive inner visual ideas from my guides, and the faeries showing me ideas of what elements to start with. As I begin to pull items (metal charms, beads etc) more ideas flow.

One of the important parts of the process is getting the metal to play well together. Many pieces fit like a glove and others will not work when I am layering them together. This also allows other possibilities to show themselves and magical items create themselves!

Mermaid Key

I also love wire wrapping and adding bling to pieces for that special element that makes a piece pop!

As a Master Energy Healer, healing and transformational energies go into everything I create. Why? Because that is my intention! I choose to make a difference in others’ lives in multiple ways! My jewelry creations is one more way I share my love, energy and talents with the world.

Invoking your Inner Fairy: Dressing the Part, Pagan Garb

Connecting with the elementals of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water is the first step of many to actualizing divine and physical equilibrium. When we call the quarters to bless our circles we are consciously seeking their assistance; the absence of ritual work and spellcraft does not eliminate the touch of spirits from our waking lives. Learning to invoke your elemental familiars is a critical aspect in progressing in your spiritual journey.

Ritual garb (or raiment) is often an overlooked connection to the Fae

Rose Quartz & Amethyst Healing Pendant

Realm, and beyond. Wearing your favorite stones as pendants allows you to take their healing energies beyond the confines of a satchel. Dawning crystals is an effective means of revitalizing spirit energy in your everyday life.

Wear Rock Crystal to see the astral beings around you, or Amethyst for clarity of mind throughout your day. Moonstone filters electromagnetic smog and alleviates stress, helping its wearer t overcome difficult situations. Jasper can be worn as a talisman to stave off negative energy. Crystals and gemstones have their place well beyond that of the alter; the bones of Gaia are intricate muses waiting for us to tap into their latent potential in our everyday lives.

Aventurine Fairy Ear Cuff

Assimilating our physical realm to the spiritual can daunting as we tackle the Earth plane and the complications of balancing ethereal beings and energies. The key is to begin slowly. You can start by acknowledging the elementals as you begin to notice them throughout your day. When you feel a caressing breeze greet the Sylphs- give them a friendly blow back! Undines can be found in any body of water (and carried around in spirit as seashell baubles), or sudden rainfall. Recognize the Salamanders as bursts of unexplained warmth, or invite them to bask with you on your lunch break when you step outside. The Gnomes are ever-present in nature and houseplants. Leave them treats of crystals and shiny baubles in an offering dish to invite them to bless your indoor (and outdoor) gardens.

To invite benevolent elementals into your everyday life begin by wearing Fae Stones, like Aventurine, Amazonite, Rose Quartz, and Amethyst. Don’t stop at pendants, wear anything with crystal baubles, bangles, rings, hairpins, and gemstone elf ears!
