This new necklace design is a colorful piece!  Featuring a series of bold stone mixed with silver spacers from the Hilltribe in Thailand.  The stones featured are turquoise from Afghanistan, lapis, carnelian, and amethyst.

Turquoise has traditionally been thought of as a stone to unite earth and sky, bringing together male and female energies.  It is considered a strengthening stone while also instilling inner calm and enhancing intuition.

Amethyst is considered a highly protective and powerful stone with a high spiritual vibration.  Amethyst is often linked with the third eye or 6^th charka and is believed to bring calm to the wearer and opens the door to new understanding and wisdom.  Amethyst is the birthstone of February.

Carnelian ranges from a more transparent light orange to rich dark opaque rust color.  Mirroring the colors of the rising and setting sun, carnelian is believed to symbolize warmth, joy and bold energy.

Lapis Lazuli is believed to bond relationships of love and friendship, encourage creativity, release stress and bring deep inner peace.  Its deep blue color can often have shimmering specs of pyrite that formed within the stone.  I use lapis that is hand carved in Afghanistan with bold cuts and a matte finish as well as more highly faceted and polished stones hand cut in India.

This necklace measures 23” long and is strung on Softflex - a sturdy flexible nylon coated stainless steel cord.  Necklace is finished with a 13mm lobster claw clasp and all findings used are oxidized sterling silver.
