Description
IMPORTANT
When describing and designing my gemstone jewelery, I refer to the historic ‘meanings’ attributed to each stone, and the symbolism and stories that have evolved around each shiny rock throughout the course of human history, for example diamonds have come to represent eternal love, and are often used in engagement rings for this very reason.

Have you ever wanted to give Mother Nature a little push in the right direction?
Mankind has long believed in the power of stones or symbols to enhance fertility, with the conception of a child often seen as the force uniting a couple, two families or even Kingdoms!
Fertility symbols appear in all cultures dating back into the distant past, with women traditionally being offered such gifts on their wedding day, in the belief that wearing/holding etc the symbol would ensure that the wedding night will prove successful!
However, 21st Century life is very different from those days of yore, and modern families face all sorts of new issues and situations. One of the biggest changes has been in the family unit, with many women now choosing to have their children much later in life, perhaps preferring to establish a career before beginning a family, or because of the increase in second families, as women are beginning a new life with a new partner and wanting to seal the deal with the creation of a new life!
The downside of this, however, is that fertility is known to decrease after age 35, with the likelihood of conception becoming more difficult. This is simply because we are born with all of our eggs ready in place, so as we age, so do our eggs, compromising the quality and quantity available to us.
Additionally, as our hormones change with age, periods can become more irregular and infrequent, which also makes it more difficult to conceive.
To address these issues, I have chosen to use:
Rainbow Moonstone: A beautiful silvery white stone, with flashes of rainbow colours within
Moss Agate: A variety of semi translucent to opaque greens, often with visible
Rhodocrosite: A beautiful, soft pink stone, sometimes lightly banded
Rose Quartz: A pale pink stone, often dyed to deepen the colour, although I prefer to use stones that have not been enhanced.
Although as all bracelets are made to order, I can happily accommodate any customisation requests, just message me before purchase, and we can discuss your requirements.
These gemstones that have been associated with regulating the menstrual cycle and balancing the hormones, as well as encouraging optimum health for the reproductive system, with an extra boost of positivity.
Just wear as an aid to help you to focus on your desire, to will your body into fulfilling this primal function. With a touch of belief, a prayer, and a sprinkle of magic and baby dust, we can often give Mother Nature a little boost!
Creating Your Bracelet
Each bracelet consists of semi precious gemstone beads, with spacer beads defining each group of gemstones (Design style A)
I use Swarovski type spacers, as the multi faceted nature of them reflects and augments the gemstones, although should you prefer, small silver plated or hematite spacers can be substituted, or omitted entirely, just let me know when you place your order.
Additionally, I now also offer the same gemstones laid out in a repeating pattern, (Design Style B). Both of these design styles can be seen in the last photo.
If you require a particular design, A or B, please let me know, otherwise I will use the design that I feel best matches your requirements.
Your bracelet can be made in one of 2 ways to suit your preferences and lifestyle. Please read the descriptions below then select either your size of adjustable bracelet from the drop down menu, or choose memory wire (one standard size) or Elastic (S, M, L)
Option 1
Your bracelet can be made on non stretch beading thread, with a lobster
claw or toggle closure. These bracelets are adjustable, but can be made to fit perfectly.
Prices vary according to size, as larger bracelets require more gemstones.
The following sizes are available from the drop down menu:
Lady S: 6.5″
Lady M: 7″
Lady L: 7.5″
Lady XL: 8″
Option 2
Your bracelet can be created using a single coil of memory wire, which keeps its more rigid circular shape, and gives a look rather like a bangle. It gives a very delicate, dainty look to the bracelet, and is probably more suited to a female wrist.
This bracelet will fasten with a toggle, magnetic or lobster clasp with extender chain.
Due to the pre-set diameter of the memory wire, this bracelet comes in just one size that expands to fit your wrist, with the aid of a small extender chain.
To complete this gorgeous bracelet, I can add a charm that is meaningful to you.
You can choose a cute baby themed charm, such as a pram, a teddy bear or tiny baby feet. Or you might prefer an ancient spiritual charm, such as the fertility goddess or the playful, flute playing fertility god, kokopelli.
If you would rather not announce your intention to the world just yet, then a more subtle charm such as the turtle, traditionally a symbol of long life and abundant fertility, can be added instead, or perhaps my favourite, a butterfly, a symbol of growth, birth and change, it was also believed that a butterfly represents the soul of a baby waiting to be born, searching for a prospective mother.
Simply let me know which option you prefer in the drop down menu.
The finished piece is presented in a delicate organza bag, with an information card and a leaflet giving a full description of the gemstone, explaining their meanings and properties and how to care for your jewellery.
Finally it is gift wrapped in tissue and ribbons, to keep the positive energy inside, just waiting for you to open!
Each stone has been charged with loving intent whilst the bracelet was created, and the finished item charged with Reiki.
So, your bracelet can soon be in your hands, encircling your wrist with beautiful gemstone beads, just as it metaphorically surrounds you with its wonderful energies!

Please Note: I do not stock ready made items that can be shipped immediately, as everything in my shop is hand made to order. When you purchase this item, you are commissioning a custom made, bespoke bracelet, created exactly to your requirements, so I can happily accommodate most requests or changes.
However, this does mean that your order can take up to 10-14 working days for me to design and create, even before shipping, so please be aware of this time scale when placing your order.
Additionally, your item enters my ‘work queue’ once payment has cleared. Unfortunately, payments made directly to Etsy take much longer to clear than Paypal or credit cards via Paypal, which are both instant. For this reason, I prefer Paypal, as your order can be put into my work schedule immediately.
*Safety & Jewellery Care*
Avoid wearing your bracelet when sleeping, exercising, bathing or showering.
Unlike some unscrupulous or often uninformed sellers, I will never use synthetic or imitation gemstones in my jewellery. Consequently, I am sometimes unable to source specific genuine gemstones (eg Malachite) at a price that will not impact greatly on the cost of your item. In these cases, rather than use synthetic or imitation stones, I use alternatives with similar properties.
Occasionally, a few very pale gemstones are colour enhanced, which does not affect their meanings and properties.
You can be assured that you will be receiving the genuine article.
