Its impossible to get the items in the vials to be placed in exactly the same way so keep that in mind when ordering.

Send me an Email if you would like to purchase any of these vial necklaces or any other of my items. Combined shipping will be done for multiple items purchased at once.

Latest Vial Necklaces

 
~The Beauty and the Beast~
This glass vial has 3 small pressed lavender buds at its base, a small pressed tree flower that resembles a rose, and green leaves for the background.
This vial reminded me of the rose from the Beauty and the Beast movie.
The vial is just under 1 1/2inches long and 6mm in diameter.

This necklace is $16.50 + shipping and comes on an 16 inch silver chain
 





 
~The Green Fairy~
This necklace has a sealed glass corked vial that is filled with green fluorite gemstone chips and green clover oil.

Clover - Fields of clover are believed to attract fairies. A four-leaf clover is said to provide protection against the fae, and to be able to break fairy spells and glamours. Wearing a four-leaf clover in your hat "in this case vial" supposedly grants you the power to see invisible fairies.

Green fluorite chips also adorn the side of the chain along with tibetan silver leaf charms.

Fluorite- which is commonly associated with the Fae.
Fluorite is a beneficial stone to help guard one against picking up negativity or negative energies from those nearby. It also heightens analytical abilities, and effectively lowers anger, depression, and desperation.  Fluorite is also used in healing rituals.  Helps the ability to concentrate, balances polarities, third eye center, improves memory and concentration, “the student stone” helps assimilate information, mental capacity and intellect.

It is also an Aquarius stone.

This necklace is $16.50 + shipping and comes on a 18 inch hematite chain. 


 



Air Elemental Vial Pendant Necklace
This vial glass pendant has a small blue and gray feather in it.
It was made for people in the air element and would also be a good aid in winged spirit animal communication.
This vial pendant is just under 1 1/2 inches long and 6mm in diameter.

This necklace is $16.50 + shipping and comes on a 16in silver chain.
 

Shipping by Christmas and Christmas Specials

I would like everyone to keep in mind that in order to get orders from Lotus Moon Apothecary received by Christmas that orders will need to be placed within the first 2 weeks of December or before. If you have a custom order you need done and shipped to you by then, please give me enough notice to make and ship said item.

Latest I can ship out a package and have it arrive is the 20th of December it says on the USPS website, though I would allow for more time than that. Packages can be shipped via express mail (overnight delivery) if needed upon request but t...he shipping on that would cost a lot more than the normal shipping price and would also include insurance. Not all items up for sale are listed on Etsy or the "shop now" tab on Facebook, so if you see something you want but cant find where to click to buy it, send me a message @ Lotus_moon@hotmail.com and I will direct you to where you need to go, or create a special listing for you.

I would like to mention that Christmas gift wrapping can be added to your order upon request for an additional $1.50

All custom blank books which normally start at $29.99 for a custom job, will be starting at $24.99 between now and December 13th for the holiday season. Books take a decent bit of time to make so please get your order in as soon as possible.

You can find information on custom book orders here Book of shadows information


This is a past book of shadows that was made.









This blank book of shadows is one that I am currently working on. This is not the best photo, but its all I could do at the moment.
It is crimson with a gold color center oval, done in oil paints.
Vines wrap around the oval and small pressed tree flowers that resemble roses are on the edges of the four corners.
The pages on the inside of the book have burnt edges.
The book is 9 inches tall and just under 6 inches wide.
This book is not finished yet, I just wanted to show a preview of what is being worked on currently.
I am still deciding what I wish to put in the center of the oval.
This book will be up for sale once finished.






Custom vial necklace orders are also available currently.


Pictures of the vials can be found Here
All other pictures of vial jewelry that is made is for sale as well.
Better pictures of each individual vial will hopefully be posted soon.
Vial necklaces start at $16.50 and go up depending on if you want any stones or charms on the chain (16-18in chain)

Please note that the crystal vials have very small openings so only powdered herbs or gemstones can be put in them at this time.
Here is the list of herbs that are available to be put into the vials:
Lavender buds and flower blooms,
Mint,
Red clover,
Marigold "Calendula",
Rose petals (Red, Pink, Yellow),
Lemon Balm,
Jasmine flower petals,
I also have some small feathers that could be put into vials.

Stone types that I have are:
Amethyst,
Green or Rainbow Fluorite,
Peridot,
&
Citron.

I also have green clover oil that could be put into the glass vials.
I have a corked vial necklace that has green clover oil and green fluorite pieces in it that I have yet to take pictures of. It will be up for sale shortly.



I would also like to introduce the newest addition to my shop
~Crystal Ball Pendulum Necklaces~



I have two different colors available: a translucent one that has a slight silver mirroring to it and one in a colbolt blue color.

The glass spheres are 1/2 an inch around. A multi spiral bead cap sets at the top of each sphere.

These can be used as a pendulum for divination. There are no other adornments on the chains so it will not off set the balance when using as a pendulum.

This necklace in your choice of color is $13.00 each + shipping and comes on a 18 inch hematite chain.

I have many of each color so if you need more than one in the same color let me know.

Any of these Items would make good Christmas presents for friends or family.

Lotus Moon Apothecary


I really want to figure out how to make hard back leather books.. & somehow get some parchment paper.I want to make a big Book of Shadows & Mists, Apothecris, & a book for my herbs *since that will probably be more than 500pgs alone* & a few other books. though I'd like the books to have some kind of screw pin binding for the paper so they dont have to be sewn together & I can re-organize as I wish by removing the pins. A book that looks kind of like this one, but wont cost me damn near $300 v.v (actually this one is over $300 but they had others for a bit under that* I just need to learn how to work with leather. I am pretty sure they used a metal cut out to put between the book back and the leather and somehow stretched it over the design and maybe used heat? to mold the leather around it. I am not sure really. Though I would love to learn.


I also would like to get a better wood burning kid as well as a general wood carving kit. So that I may make better runes, wands, boxes, etc.
