Spiritual Aspects & Attributes of Metal
By Baeldorn

I've been very drawn lately to continuing my beaded jewelry and as I was shopping for beads I came across many different types of metals. Does anyone know the benefits/negatives of metals, particularly vermeil and pewter? Many thanks and bright blessings!

Lotus:
Vermeil is sterling silver, heavily electroplated with yellow gold and was very common in the eighteenth century. All Vermeil is very hard wearing since silver and gold are both precious metals, with similar properties. Today it is a familiar metal used in beading. Pewter is a metal alloy containing more than one ingredient ... for example: tin, antimony, bismuth, copper, lead, which after combining with each other, form a new metal. Often it takes on new characteristics, such as color, density, higher or lower melting points, weight, etc. The properties of Pewter vary depending on the nature of the added materials. Lead, when added, imparts a bluish tinge and increased malleability, antimony adds whiteness and hardness. Other metals including copper, bismuth, and zinc can also be added. If anyone is purchasing Pewter, be cautious of the amount of lead content.

Baeldorn:
Thank you Lotus.

“Lift up the self by the Self, And don't let the self droop down, For the Self is the self's only friend, And the self is the Self's only foe.”

Lotus:
(((Baeldorn))) Glad I could help. I am wondering if you feel drawn to "Selenite" for your own personal use? If not perhaps you might consider it. Also as I type I hear drums in the distance, the beat seems like ... boom ... boom ... boom ... a steady rhythm, not to heavy-handy but similar and steady. I believe it is an African drum I am hearing and now I am seeing the image of a Warrior, bluish colored headdress, face is painted three colors, black, red and white. Headdress also has black, red, white and bright blue tones. He holds a spear in his left hand and there seems to be some kind of design carved down the handle, looks like outlines of animals, there are also some decorative squiggly type lines. Very graceful in their flow. I haven't any idea why I am typing this...hopefully you might.

Hey Bael *hug* “Vermeil is sterling silver, heavily electroplated with yellow gold and was very common in the eighteenth century. All Vermeil is very hard wearing since silver and gold are both precious metals, with similar properties. Today it is a familiar metal used in beading.”

I found this interesting. Thank You Lotus! Bael, this seems to fit right in with you. Being it is Sterling Silver (feminine/moon) & Yellow Gold (masculine/sun). It is keeping a BALANCE within the metal my friend. Just as you "Go in balance."
