Hi, my name is
Kris Kefauver.
Recently I expanded my interest in jewelry making from a hobby to a business. I enjoy making jewelry and have always had a fascination with the healing properties of natural stones. I take pride in providing customers with the best-quality handmade products and personal service. Most of my designs are made from sterling silver and contain natural stones. Though I have a selection of pre-made jewelry, you may also custom order a creation utilizing any materials or stones you wish. Refer to the Shipping page.
You can order by using the online catalog, over the phone, or by visiting one of the retail locations that carries my jewelry.
I look forward to doing business with you!
A fun social networking site, and my friend Capt. Joe's Outlaw River Charters and my friend, John Peter Davis' books.
Enjoy!
Libra birthstone gemstone ~ Jade Sept. 24 ~ Oct. 22
Jade is a gemstone of unique symbolic energy and unique in the myths that surround it. With its beauty and wide-ranging expressiveness, Jade had held a special attraction for mankind for thousands of years. This gem, with its discreet yet rather greasy luster, which comes in many fine nuances of green, but also in shades of white, grey, black, yellow, orange and in delicate violet tones, has been know to man for some 7000 years. In prehistoric times, however, it was esteemed rather more for its toughness, which made it an ideal material for weapons and tools. Yet, as early as 3000 B.C. Jade was known in China as ye, the “royal gem”. In the long history of the art and culture of the enormous Chinese empire, Jade has always had a very special significance, roughly comparable with that of gold and diamonds in the West. Jade was used not only for the finest objects and cult figures, but also in grave furnishings for high-ranking members of the imperial family. Today too, this gem is regarded as a symbol of the good, the beautiful and the precious. It embodies the Confucian virtues of wisdom, justice, compassion, modesty and courage, yet it also symbolizes the female-erotic.
Spiritual and Healing Properties of Jade:
Jade is a good rock for parents to carry as it helps to calm one down even when many kids running through the house. It helps you to accept things that are difficult in your life and makes things appear to go much smoother than they really are. It keeps you from disconnecting from your inner peace as quickly in bad situations than you would if you did not have it.
Confidence Builder:
Jade is a stone that helps you to realize the needs of others. It is also good for helping you to understand what is of prime importance for you to do on this day. It brings confidence and self-assuredness, self-sufficiency and to be self-reliant. An elixir made with jade is good for smoothing the skin. It works best with a water cleansing.
