​ N-014--$40.00—  “HER NAME WAS KIMBERLY” This is one of my favorites and has been a hard decision to actually let it go on the “placing it in a good home,”  side of my work.  There is something very special about this necklace, it calls you to it, “In know it calls me”,  “in a very good way” nothing bad or negative in any way at all. 

The beads are a Vintage, Burgundy ceramic, with a very high shine and  a Silver“ish” color of speckling on them.  The clasp is Old Vintage, Sterling Silver and very Ornate and Detailed in the design that is on it.  I used Clear Crystal Quartz in small pieces to keep with the size of the beads and separated them with tiny bright seed-beads to follow through with the vintage beads.  

​It has a very nice “cleansing / clearing” aura about it. It still carries the Nurturing and Inviting Energy of the person that originally owned the clasp on this necklace , “Kimberly”  Whom I hope with all my Heart of Hearts, that she will find her way home one day.”  

“Kimberly”, was a very dear friend of mine that would occasionally have me do repairs on different fine jewelry she had in her collection.  Or just give me pieces and parts of gold and silver jewelry she owned that was a little beyond repair; loving bits and pieces as I did, she gave me quite a few, quite often.  Most of the time it would be just one tiny link, bead, stone, and in this necklace, “it was the clasp.”

I had personally made a few special pieces as gifts to her for birthdays and occasions of different sorts.  We were pretty good pals and got together often.  We would make a point of getting together once every couple of weeks, just to nothing more than have a “girls day out.”

All that started to end a couple of years ago when something from her, once healed past, reared its ugly head again.  In her early years she had suffered from some drug and alcohol issues.  When I was no longer able to help her, and anything I tried to do, just didn’t work, she disappeared out of mine and everyone else’s lives that loved her.  Addictions are very powerful, and until the addicted is ready to be helped and ready to heal; there is nothing me or anyone else could do for her.This clasp doesn’t carry any of the above mentioned “negative addictive energy.”  It was just one of those pieces of a piece of jewelry she had thrown my way to “do something with.”  Even at the time of digging it out of the bag of “pieces of stuff” she had given me; it attracted me at once.  It was very pretty of course, but it was the softness of the “Old” Kimberly I had known so long ago.  You see, I never did open that bag of goodies she passed my way until well after she had disappeared out of our lives.  But when I did, it was the clasp that drew me to it.

I have many nice things we traded back and forth; And even better, I have all the wonderful memories of our old friendship.  I know that people come and go out of our lives, and many times over in our lifetime; Kimberly is just one of them that I will remember for a long time to come; And I will always be able to smile and be grateful for that.

I’m sure it will go to the right person,  when time is right.  That is my hope and knowing  anyway……………
