Drop of Blood Ring

With the popularity of the Twilight movie and books...
I need to ask about my DROP OF BLOOD rings.

This one has a cabochon stone.
Garnet of course.


And this one is a faceted stone.
Garnet again...


I'd like to know which one
everyone prefers.

Happy New Year!

Another year has come and gone...where did it go?

I'm going into my 31'st year of The Silver Dragon.

I've seen styles come and go and come back again.


Peace jewelry is my first thought.


I have more than 20 different styles of peace jewelry.

I wore peace jewelry and now my grandchildren wear it.


We can only hope that the world takes notice.



A litte peace earring.
Wear the pair or share one with a friend.

A LITTLE ABOUT THIS AND THAT


Silver is considered to be protective, calming,

and to have money-drawing vibrations.


It is considered a psychic metal.


It is said to enhance and empower

psychic abilities within the bearer.


Silver as a metal is associated with Lunar energies


The Trinity Knot represents the threefold

nature of the Goddess as virgin, mother and crone.

It symbolizes life, death, and rebirth.


In Christian Symbolism:

The Triquetra represents the HolyTrinity:

the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Often called the Trinity Knot. Celtic

Triangle Knot orTriquetra Knot…

this three-pronged knot symbolizes

the Celtic philosophy that everything

has 3 distinct yet interlocked levels.

This triangular Celtic knot is said

to represent the three planes of existence -

physical, mental and spiritual.


Notice how, although the three points

are clearly separate,

they are interlocked together,

symbolizing the connection between

the three planes.

This triangular Celtic knot design

symbolizes all trinities and especially

the realms of Air, Earth and Sea - thus all the world.


Eternity Knot There is not just one knot

that can be called an "Eternity Knot".


Any knot that has a closed path,

with no beginning or end may be symbolic

of eternity or continuum.


This meaning was suggested by the great

Scottish Celtic art teacher

of the 20th century, George Bain,

it has been an accepted meaning

by many artists and craftsmen.


Since knotwork is often used

as an emblem of heritage,

the symbolism of "continuum" reinforces

the endurance of the tradition.

How to take care of Sterling Silver


How to care for your STERLING SILVER

Here are a few things you can do

to keep your silver shining, and tarnish free.


Keep silver away from sulfurous material,

sulfur is silver’s main corrosive agent.

What’s corrosive?


Ammonia (Think glass cleaner.)

Nair (Take the jewelry off before you use it.)


OK, you forgot to take the rings off…

what now?

I am going to tell you a secret…

Use vinegar to clean the discoloration.

VINEGAR WILL NOT CLEAN SILVER,

BUT IT IS OPPOSITE ON THE PH SCALE

AND WILL NEGATE THE CAUSE.

THEN –

Use the polishing cloth

to polish your silver.


Also, keeping your silver in an

airtight plastic bag (like a Ziploc bag)

will also help; this will keep the sulfur

and other corrosive agents in the air

from coming in contact with your silver.


Your jewelry box may be

a mass of plastic bags…

but the jewelry will look good!


Your sterling silver jewelry

should be worn and enjoyed…

and your body oils

also help prevent tarnishing.


Know that silver can tarnish rapidly

when exposed to the sun and salt air.


So if you wear your jewelry to the beach

or on a boat, it will tarnish.


That's when I use a polishing cloth

to give it a quick wipe before I put it away.


I like the Haggerty products

and have it available if you need it,

but you can usually buy it in many places.

There is not just one knot that
can be called an "Eternity Knot".

Any knot that has a closed path,
with no beginning or end is symbolic of eternity.

Who knows if this was ever the intention
of the ancient scribes...

but it has been accepted by many artists
and craftsmen.

Knot work is often used as an emblem of heritage.

Yoga Jewelry


I thought I'd add a link
for the yoga jewelry...

I like the bow pendant.


I've been taking Tai Chi
with some Chi Gung...

but I've been thinking I might like
to try yoga too.

Now just to find the time....sigh.

How I got the name The Dragonlady

I am frequently asked how I got the name Dragonlady.

My business name is The Silver Dragon.

We create and manufacture American made
sterling silver jewelry here in Rhode Island.

One day as I was walking into the back room,
one of my staff said "Where's the Dragonlady?".

I laughed and said, "I'm right behind you!".

He turned all shades of red and
everyone began teasing him about it.

And from then on everyone
called me "The Dragonlady".


Ebay Live

Friends...I just came back from my first Ebay Live...
learned a lot ( That's what got me started on this blog).

Started collecting Ebay Live pins.
I didn't realize it the first day and wasn't on the look out for them.

But I was by the last day, so I have some extra of some and missing others.
Does anyone want to trade?

I have extras on the Boston Tea Party Pin.

Of course I'm not sure what I am going to do with them when I get a full set,
but I would just like to have it.

If you want to visit my Ebay store it's Silverdragonri

I think I'm going to enjoy blogging!
