Necklace Details
Coral (Mediterranean) – Precious Coral has been harvested and used for adornment for more than 3,000 years. Of the more than 7,000 species of coral, only 10 are considered precious and usable in jewelry as they have a porcelain-like luster when polished. Today, Precious Coral harvesting is highly regulated to protect this extraordinary living gem. Precious Coral is believed to possess protective, lucky, and healing properties and is given as a 35th anniversary gift.
Chrysophrase – Chrysoprase, also known as Australian Jade, is a green variety of Chalcedony. Known since antiquity, this translucent green stone is sometimes called the ‘Stone of Venus’ and considered a stone of the heart with strong healing energies.
Turquoise (Lone Mountain) – Turquoise has been continuously mined at Lone Mountain in Nevada since 1920. Initially claimed as the Blue Jay Mining Lode, it is known for its stunning variety of turquoise in colors ranging from vivid clear blue to dark blue with unique golden, black, and spider web matrix patterns. Primarily found in nugget form, Lone Mountain turquoise is still found in small pockets and is actively being mined by the current owners. Turquoise is one of December’s birthstones and considered a sacred and protective stone around the world.
Hematite – Hematite is a shiny, bold, metallic stone with an iron-packed red streak. It has been used for everything from jewelry to war paint to mirrors, and even to prove there was once water on Mars! It has long been believed to aid in grounding and protection, stability, and resilience, and creation of a calm, balanced environment.
Sterling Silver – Silver is considered a precious metal and, because of its durability, a tangible representation of lasting love and family bonds. It is also believed to strengthen emotional, mental, and physical well-being by promoting inner peace, alleviating stress and anxiety, and warding off negative energy. Wearing or carrying sterling silver serves as a personal talisman, enhancing one's inner strength and resilience. Silver is given as a 25th anniversary gift.
