Mercury is about to turn itself retrograde AGAIN, and while I’m usually all Madame Skepticalia McDoubtfulpants about this stuff, there is no denying that Mercury being retrograde tends to bring a whole bunch of ARE YOU #$&@! KIDDING ME nonsense out into the open. 

So I don’t know about you, but I plan to be wearing hematite a LOT for, uh, pretty much all of July. I’m not saying it will keep me from running my mouth at people or forgetting stuff even more than I already do, but maybe it’ll be enough to remind me to think before I talk. And to check my calendar twice before agreeing to do anything. 

Also, it’s shiny: hematite and blue goldstone is a great combination and I honestly don’t know why I haven’t thought of it before now. 

Limited edition of four pairs, unless I manage to remember where I put the rest of the goldstone beads, in which case there might be more. 

(I use sterling silver french hooks by default, but I also stock titanium and surgical steel french hooks, high-quality silver-plated leverback findings, and two kinds of clip-on earring thingies, and you can upgrade to any of those right over here.)
