Hi, I’m Maxine, the designer and creator behind MaxineFaye – Handcrafted Jewellery & Beadwork. I create award winning, one of a kind beaded jewellery which encourage you to express your unique personality.
The combinations of colour, texture and the “feel” of the beads are what inspire my original designs and as a beaded jewellery artisan I love working with colour and light. The unique shapes and colour combinations of lamp-work and art-glass, the precision and sparkle of Swarovski crystal and the organic feel of semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls, and metals are all considered in my designs.
Read about me to find out how I can help, what services I offer, and my mission statement.
I invite you to visit my online store to see my currently available designs.

Violet
The metaphysical properties of this colour

In this series of posts on the properties of colour I have included an overview of the metaphysical properties and information on some colours and the chakras that they relate to. I have also included some lessons and affirmations.
Later, in a more in-depth series, I will build on the properties of these colours and how you can use them to your benefit.
Having studied the Aura Soma system of Colour Therapy to the Advanced Level I find the natural benefits of vibrations from colour intriguing and I’m always trying to find out more information on this subject.

Violet
Spirituality, service, transformation, healing and leadership fall under Violet. It is the colour of strong ideals and finding contentment in helping others or providing protection. Sacrifice in the context of peace falls under Violet.
This colour is dignified and has a richness of quality. It has humility and is inspirational, sensitive and delicate. Violet shows respect of self and others.
Violet offers the possibility of letting go of what is lost and honouring what remains.
This colour enhances meditation and helps to show our true service to the world. It is the colour of thinkers and reminds us we have free will while knowing what we are here for and how to fulfil it.

The Lesson for Violet is
"The desire to go home".
People under this colour may have experienced a near death experience or have a fear of death or dying or a wish to return home – to spirit.
This colour can also represent endings – the death of something (divorce, lost job, etc).
Individuals under Violet can feel overlooked / invisible as the colour can be elusive / hard to grab hold of.
Detachment, a need for healing and difficulties with transition fall under this colour. People under Violet may feel they are not always easily understood, have a hidden sadness and are hard on themselves. They may have a need for perfectionism.
Violet can bring out a single-mindedness of purpose or duty but not always serving from love. It can suggest great responsibility / heavy burden and unexpressed anger.
The High Church is represented by this colour as is spiritual pride and grandiosity – it can provide the outer trappings but no essence of spirit or to be so heavenly as to be of no use on earth.
Violet can bring up difficulties with boundaries and with parents. There can be a hidden shame of being different and a difficult of sharing their pain with others.
The need for Violet is
"to be understood"
An affirmation suitable for this colour is
"I have the right to be different".
Of course, this won’t happen just by saying it once off. Each and every time you feel unworthy or stuck in the past, just focus on the affirmation of your choice.
Other affirmations that would be suitable for this colour are “I am good enough” or “I have the right to make mistakes”
This colour connects with
Chakra and physical areas associated with Violet are the Crown, Top of Head, Pineal Gland, Highest Brain Functions, and generally the entire Body.
Physical areas that fall under this colour are Skull conditions, Pineal gland, Nervous conditions, Anti-inflammatory conditions.
Crystals / Gems
That may provide assistance with these issues
Crystals / gems appropriate for this colour are Amethyst, Agate, Diamond, Fluorite, Kunzite, Labradorite, Opal and Clear Quartz.

Clothing is another easy way to benefit from the energy of colour. Violet / Purple isn’t your favourite colour? Use socks or underwear in this colour as a great way of reminding yourself that you are connected and have confidence – and no-one will know.
If that doesn’t suit you, how about violet sheets (or just a pillowcase) or bathe in bath-salts in this gorgeous colour.
Drinking from a violet glass or eating off a purple plate. All these things will just hold your attention and remind you that you are on a journey to reconnect.

Pink
The colour of unconditional love. Pink is feminine, intuitive, kind and caring. Pink shows our tender, compassionate side, it can hear other people’s needs and be sensitive and considerate. It allows us to be vulnerable.
This colour is an antidote for fear, (it lets us trust). We can respond to situations, not react – pacifying aggression. It enables us to respect ourselves and others. To let go – to allow to be.
The Lesson for Pink is
“A need to be always liked"
We may feel unworthy of receiving love or we settle for conditional love – doing anything to get love. A hidden shame about love & being loveable. Having a lack of self respect and respect for others can also come from Pink.
Difficulties with the female model (femininity) can present within the Pink colour and there may be problems with severity.
As Pink is associated with the ears, there may be feelings of not being heard. We can’t always hear own needs, and can refuse to listen to others.
The need for Pink is
"To be heard"
An affirmation suitable for this colour is
"I am lovable"
Of course, this won’t happen just by saying it once off. Each and every time you feel unworthy or stuck in the past, just focus on the affirmation of your choice.

This colour connects with
The Chakra and physical areas associated with this colour is the Heart and Crown and Utero – Genital areas (womb), Thymus – immune system.
Physical conditions that may present with the pink colour are ear conditions and hormone system (adrenals). Pink may help in conceiving / pregnancy.

That may provide assistance with these issues
Crystals / gems (in their pink form when available) that may assist are
Diamond, Garnet, Kunzite, Labradorite, Moonstone, Opal, Pearl, Clear Quartz, Rose Quartz, Rhodonite, Ruby, Topaz, Tourmaline.
You may find wearing or using these or items in this colour to provide some assistance with the lessons of this colour.

Clothing is another easy way to benefit from the energy of colour. Pink isn’t your favourite colour? Use socks or underwear in this colour as a great way of reminding yourself that you are connected and have confidence – and no-one will know.
If that doesn’t suit you, how about coral sheets (or just the pillowcase) or bathe in bath-salts in this gorgeous colour.
Drink a Strawberry smoothie, eat some watermelon. All these things will just hold your attention and remind you that you are on a journey to reconnect.
