The beautiful Goddess of Plenty has a corn cob body.

”The Goddess has many faces, and while she appears in each woman, she also manifests in the very food we eat; in all the abundance of the Earth. The grain undergoes transformation during its life cycle, fro seed to sprout, and finally a mature plant. Through the harvest and finally into a dried stalk. The people are fed in the process. The Goddess of Plenty is also the Goddess of Growth through the cycles of life. In one of her faces, she feeds the people’s stomachs. In another she feeds their spirits. To her, they are one and the same. The Goddess of Plenty also watches over the transformation of a single grain of wheat, corn or rice. The grain grows, it is harvested, baked and eaten. Along the way it loses its individuality but it becomes able to nourish a person. Through each grain that grows, the Goddess teaches us to become one with the whole.” Nirvana

With her are various crystal beads associated with abundance, including beautiful Moss Agate faceted oval and round beads; Green Aventurine discs, rich Green Garnet and a few small Emerald beads that I’ve been saving for years along with bright, uplifting golden Citrine. They are strung on my favourite beading thread, made of many fine wires coated with nylon, which gives strength, suppleness and flexibility, protecting the beads and giving a lovely kink-free drape.

Moss Agate is a stone of ‘As Above, So Below’, linking heaven and earth, spirit and body, and thus bringing stability, balance and harmony. It reminds us that we are Nature herself – Life expressing herself through each and every one of us – and can thus support us to remember our true spiritual Beingness. In doing so, and thus understanding our place in the world, we can step away from ego, become more grounded in our lives and more healthy on all levels, with stronger immune systems and better relationships with ourselves and others. This stone has long been associated with gardening. I absolutely love Moss Agate and fully appreciate her beauty and magic.

Green Aventurine brings the energy of early spring and teaches about growth and new beginnings. It is a good all round healer, bringing balance on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels for people of all ages. It has a youthful quality, and is often attractive to children. Green Aventurine can assist in connecting with the faery beings.

Green Garnet is a powerful stone that helps us to connect with the rich flow of life on Earth and natural growth. It helps us to move beyond any feelings of lack or scarcity and into abundance, whether this be energy, nourishment, money/finance, love, confidence, etc. It opens and expands the heart to greater love, peace, joy and happiness.

Emerald is such a beautiful crystal, connecting us with the richness and abundance of the rain forest, and all the Animal, Plant, Tree, Nature Spirits that live there. It can help to remind us that we live on a truly beautiful planet, where all our needs can be met, and we can be fully nurtured with the love of our big Mama.

Golden Citrine is bright and happy, encouraging positivity, optimism and joy. It helps us to be in touch with creativity on all levels, including the way we manifest our lives. Because of this it has gained the reputation of being a “Stone of Success” or a “Prosperity Stone".

I’ve been saving these beautiful silver goddesses and clasps, and many of the beads, for years and years. I kept telling myself that I’d use them one day and my current motto is, ‘What am I waiting for?’ When the May sun finally came out, my creativity ramped up, and I’ve really enjoyed making these. There are more to follow, and if you have any special requests, please email and I’ll see if I can help your desire to manifest.

Sterling silver will naturally oxidise/tarnish over time simply by being in contact with the air. While you can’t avoid this, you can help by avoiding contact with water, sweat, perfumes, hair spray, body lotions etc., cleaning chemicals, etc. We include a small silver cloth for you to polish your goddess and keep her shiny! Store your necklace in a jewellery box or bag. Airtight bags are especially good for silver.

All my jewellery passes the ‘give it some very hard tugs’ test and I’ve worn some of my pieces for many years. I have had necklaces break in the past, but only when a child has swung on them! The wire has a particular, recognisable look when broken by pulling it beyond breaking strength. The necklaces are very well made and hardy, but having said that, it’s best to take off these necklaces for sleeping, showering/bathing, swimming, rough sports, etc.

Your necklace should arrive in perfect condition. If not, please contact me immediately. For later breakages, please collect all the beads and return for restringing. There is a cost for this service. If you have a breakage and are unable to find all the beads, I may be able to match beads or find other compatible beads.
