Category: ear cuff Earcuff

Ear cuffs are a unique piece of jewelry with a long history dating back to ancient India. Many cultures across the world incorporate them into ceremonial and religious dress and everyday wear. They made a comeback into the popular consciousness with the premiere of the sci-fi show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Kira Neris – a Bajoran Starfleet officer, was seen wearing one as a compliment to her fleet uniform. She explained it was a standard symbol of religious status among her people. Fans everywhere started wearing them, adapting them to their own style as well as wearing ones accurate to the ones shown on the show.

  • A busy month indeed!

    A busy month indeed!

    Actually, it’s been two months, to the day, and things have been hopping steadily in the studio. While everyone outside of my Moonology groups rail against Mercury Retrograde and its usual chaotic effects in the more vulnerable parts of our lives in communication and mechanica, I have been taking advantage of it to redo, revise, refresh and renew old earring and ear cuff designs.

    There are so many new and renewed retro designs in The Ears Have It Etsy store, in fact, there are too many to name here, so I am going to leave it to a few picture galleries to tell the story. Hopefully they will peruse the now 90 designs available – many of them customizable with new colors and semi-precious stone choices to suit all tastes. Be sure to send me an Etsy convo message if there is something you would like customized ahead of your order if you don’t see your favorite option available. Chances are I will have something in my bead stash to fit your needs.

    To say life has been tits-up since my last blog post is a frigging understatement. Now, the weekend California is starting to relax and get back to normal, I am also updating my Etsy store listings. Orders have begun to pick up this past month, so I owe it to my customers to make sure everything is in stock and bring them something new and pretty!

    The Azurite/Malachite Feather ear cuff/earring set has 15 stones available to choose from. I am hoping yet again to update this list as soon as I find my stock of Azurite/Malachite beads (found ’em !). They got buried somewhere in my stock and as soon as I dig them out, I will list them as also available.

    The stone size is 5-6 mm. I have smaller ones available in different stones such as Blackstone, Bloodstone, Burma Jade and Brown Tiger’s Eye, but they don’t look well with this design. Still, if you want to custom order an ear cuff with them, I’ll be more than happy to create it for you and send you a preview of what it looks like. Just contact me here.

    Stay safe everyone. I don’t like wearing masks any more than the next damn rebellious American, but it appears our idiot California Governor is relaxing retail restrictions – that and the food and retail industries are just fed up with his bullshit and opening up anyways, so hopefully it’ll be done soon. /rant

    Namaste,

  • New – Kustomer Order Kreation Day

    kc dragonfly youtube channel logo

    Hi all and welcome to my new KCDragonfly Kustomer Order Kreation Days. After a bit of fussing with YouTube and their new regulations on live streaming, I am now set up to do real-time videos on jewelry and crafts creation again.

    Where this is coming from

    A quick update on where this is coming from and why it seems like it’s out of the blue for me to do. Ever since my first convention back in the 80’s where I created an ear cuff for a customer while they watched, I’ve been addicted to having an audience while I create something. It’s so much fun to get a customer’s input into their own orders from me, as well at the fascination they have watching the actual process. It’s what motivated me to do as many years of conventions in dealer’s room as I had – something on the order of 30 years!

    Now that technology has caught up with the ability to live stream from the comfort of my design studio at home, I got excited about the prospects all over again. Once I live streamed my first custom order on YouTube, it was so awesome, I wanted to do it again!

    And so, with my new webcam in place, I am ready to give this a go with regular as well as custom orders. I hope you will join me today and in the future for some fun KCDragonfly Kustomer Order Kreation Days.

    Details for today’s Kustomer Order Kreation Day:

    Location: The Ears Have It by KC Dragonfly YouTube Channel

  • Video: Making Your Star Trek ear cuff

    This video was done for our longest-running customer, Maxine. She requested a triple-pierced Star Trek ear cuff. She supplied the Star Trek charms. Come watch how it all comes together when we create the earring of your dreams and you could see yours made live on YouTube next.

    And here is the finished product:

  • The Day of the Moon

    Silver-Pale-Moon-earrings-208x300Silver-Pale-Moon-Single-earcuff-300x267

    Silver crescent moons and pale blue, pearl-like beads. The colors of our Sterling Silver Pale Moon ear cuff and Earring collection reflects the beauty of the moon. The series comes in many styles that can be mixed and matched.

    Earrings that make your Mondays special days

    Mondays can be days of chaos at the office, hustling kids off to school and planning projects tackle for the week, but your Moon-day evening is your own sacred time. Treasure it, especially if you are nocturnal or it’s just your wind-down-from-the-day-time at home.

    Center and ground yourself and all that crazy energy so you can find a place of peace and serenity. For me, Saturdays are that time, especially when I can see a setting crescent moon on my back porch, surrounded by plants, trees, incense and candles. This time is for the feminine in anyone and everyone. Nurture it with what floats your boat on a moonlit evening.

    Silver-Pale-Moon-Earcuff-157x300

    Complimentary Colors that match

    Make it made even more special when you dress for the occasion. Cool whites (like the moon), dark blues and blacks always harmonize with lunar energies. Even better when you can go to the beach and walk its sandy shores with the lulling surf in the background! Pick something loose-fitting that floats on the breezes and is comfortable. Take time to reach down to the sand or earth and dig your hands in, calm your mind and listen to your surroundings. It has much to tell us if we would only stop and listen.

    The book Spell Crafts reminds us blue is for healing, peace, psychism, patience and happiness. The color of the water, symbol of the ocean, sleep, twilight and the sky. To the Zuni Indians it was used to represent the West, Land of the Dead – our final resting place, along with the setting sun. Whenever I can catch a setting sun and start out my time with the moon that night, it is always a good meditation!

  • Rainbow Peace ear cuff back in stock

    The Rainbow Peace ear cuff is back in our store as of tonight. I love this ‘cuff because it gives me an excuse to pull out many beautiful colors and weave them into a symbol that means so much to many people.

    When I first made this ear cuff, I had no idea so many people would buy it. It’s the most simple design I’ve ever created, yet in the simplicity there is so much power and meaning. It has the power to unite and define people of all walks of life. Whip out your tie dye t-shirt and guitar and go start a sit in somewhere or wear it as a quiet statement of your pride in your sexuality. Or even just because you love rainbows. Whatever the reason, may our Rainbow Peace ear cuff’s powerful message of Peace and Diversity be with you always.

  • Rainbows for Peace

    Rainbow-Peace-214x300

    It’s funny how you can wrack your brain over a design for days and somehow the simplest design ends up meaning so much to so many. And you know what? That’s okay.

    This one is nothing new – in fact, I’ve had it a couple of years, but it always amazes me how many I sell. Symbols and colors are powerful to us as a race. Even as a child, I loved rainbows and peace signs long before rainbows were taken as a symbol of the Gay Pride Movement. They were – and are – a thing of beauty, just like the diversity in nature and people on our planet. They should be treasured and protected – always.

    The Rainbow Peace ear cuff is available in our Etsy store here.

  • Wednesday’s Pick – Fresh Water Pearl Ankhs

    Ankh-Fresh-Water-Pearl-Single-earcuff-and-earring-set-2-150x300

    A while ago we showcased our first Egyptian Ankh earcuff and earring sets on an appropriate day of the week – Wednesday. A variation on that design using fresh water pearls came to us when we saw these stunning royal purple pearls. How could we resist recreating these popular beauties with such beautiful, new gifts from the ocean. We couldn’t!

    To remind our readers, the Ankh has powerful associations including the Symbol of Life, Immortality, Spiritual Reflection, The Three Upper Chakras, The Masculine God, Divination, Regeneration, and as a Symbol of Magick. However you incorporate it into your worship – and you don’t even have to be an Egyptian Pagan to use it, it will be sure to bring you the power built up over it’s 2,500 years as one of the most well-known totems on Earth.

  • Day of the Sun – Amber and Gold

    After running around like a mad person today, by the time I sat down to list items for Saturday, the clock had turned it into Sunday. Guess the Gods had decided they could wait as I crashed for a two-hour nap as soon as I got home from San Gabriel Bead Company. If you are a bead whore as bad as I am, you also squeed if you went in these past three weekends and saw all the local Southern California bead stores were participating in their annual So. Cal Bead Shop Hop.

    passport-bead-shop-hop-2013-225x300

    Pegged as American’s largest bead shop hop, I wish I hadn’t been so busy the last two weekends and taken advantage of the fun of  running from bead store to bead store to bead store with my fellow bead whores. We are already planning next year’s attack of the hop with much looking-forward to.

    So, quickly (so I can go back to bed and dream of beads), three new items are up in the Etsy store this early, early morning; Striped Amber Faux Earring Triangle Drops, Striped Amber Faux Earring Drops and our beloved Copper Feather Drop Earcuff.

    Copper-Feather-Drop-143x300

    Why these particular ones? Well, Amber is a color sacred to the Sun and to Sundays. Copper may be a moon color, but the Copper Feather Drop sports a gold feather at the end and you don’t have to be a MoonWitch or a SunWitch to figure out gold has been the color of the sun since dirt. Feathers have many associations in European folk magic, but since there are no real gold feathers, this one can be symbolic of whatever you want. Stop by the store and check them out. They are reasonably priced for great impulse buys that won’t kill your pocket book – $5.95 & $7.95.  Have fun shopping!
