Feather Earrings by Merlin

From Amulets by Merlin, a variety of Feather earrings:

double sided in sterling silver.

Down Feather Earrings

Feathers have been prized throughout the world. While it is true that feathers have been used to adorn hats, clothing and works of are, they have also been used in indigenous cultures to represent freedom, hope and renewal and have been harnessed to represent a connection to the Spirit World. I have carved these small sculptures of Down Feathers to represent comfort and a sense of security. Perfect as a gift for a loved one.

Contour Feather Earrings to represent Protection and Security.

Tail Feather Earrings to represent Guidance, a symbol of following a spiritual path.

 Wing Feather Earrings represent Spiritual Guidance, freedom, Protection, Renewal and Truth.

I also make a Collection of Feather Jewelry featuring a necklace of silver feathers, hand crafted, made for you.

I just finished this one!

Sleek, lots of scales and teeth, a custom, hand carved money clip.
The teeth tuck smoothly into the lower jaw, hidden from view until the spring loaded jaw is opened.
The back of the jaw is opened enough to hold up to 35 bills.

Created upon request, the client sent me his favorite images of the serpent,
the mouth fits tight around the bills and the teeth add extra security.

Sterling silver Snake head with a tight spring loaded in the jaw, green synthetic stones for the eyes, designed, hand carved and produced by Kirk McLaren of Amulets by Merlin.

A dragon that knows how to keep your cash! Stones are set into the eyes and a strong spring to work the jaw. This image shows the clip in NuGold, kind of Jeweler’s Bronze to replicate 14k gold. This is also available in Sterling Silver.

Flame is larger than the Original Dragon Money Clip. Since the first version of “Flame” some 20 years ago, I have revised the piece by dropping the jaw to accommodate more cash. This one can hold up to 30 bills. If you are interested in this design but want it to hold more, please visit my How to order Custom Page

The money clip has a working jaw using a strong spring to clamp down on those bills. The eyes are cabochon black onyx to give the money clip an extra “pop” in contrast to the bright Sterling Silver.

A large dragon money clip designed to hold up to 50 bills.

Sterling silver with a heavy duty spring and Garnet eyes from Amulets by Merlin

This dragon money clip was designed for a deeper bite. Protecting the bills from bending and fit sleekly into a deep pocket. My client wanted the piece to stand out and yet lay flat so it would be comfortable to carry. The deep setting jaw offers enough space for fifty bill or more at a time.

Each of these one of a kind Dragon Money Clips are made to match the design wanted by the client. Completely hand carved, the stones set in the eyes are flush to the outside and the spring offers a tight grip against the bills. A unique, solid sterling, heavily textured for scales and teeth.

I also offer a line of Dragon Money Clips in my Jewelry Line

Capricorn Aquarius Amulet

Capricorn Aquarius Amulet


Combining:

Capricorn -Earth- December 22 – January 19/20 “I Use” Cardinal Earth brings Capricorn forward as extremely practical in every day life. They have the ability to withdraw and bide their time. They are reliable with help as well as in pointing out the faults of others. The eternal pessimist they still find a way to succeed in the goals. With this amulet I have developed lines of force textured into the overall sign as well as the “environment” of the circle that surrounds it. The Capricorn Amulet reflects the Capricorn’s essence of fierce determination and drive to complete their goals; solid Earth texture framed in a solid circle of delineation.

and

Aquarius ~Air~ January 20 – February 18/19 “I Know” In Aquarius the outgoing self expressive positive polarity combining with the communicative nature of Air. Aquarians are generous with knowledge preferring to express themselves through large groups of people. Aquarius is a “fixed” sign resulting in a stubborn nature and given to preconceived yet progressive ideas. They are original, inventive, intellectual, friendly independent, idealistic, revolutionary and at times unconventional.

This Semi-sextile aspect suggests their connection has potential, it also calls for significant effort to achieve harmony. Despite the challenges, such as differing approaches to intimacy and the need for mutual respect for discipline, they can achieve significant objectives when they place emphasis on their complementary skills. It also provides an opportunity for growth if both partners are willing to work on their differences.
