Necklace Details
Spinel (rare) – Spinel is a glittering, flashing stone that comes in every color of the rainbow and has a long history of being mistaken for other gems. In fact, the desire to distinguish Ruby from Spinel, most famously impacting the Black Prince’s “Ruby” in the British Crown Jewels, gave birth to the science of gemology! Like garnet and diamond, this sparkly stone is singly refractive. This rare stone is believed to help with the overall flow of one’s energy and enhance personal growth and happiness. Spinel is one of August’s birthstones and given as a 22nd anniversary gift.
Swarovski Crystal (Austria) – Swarovski was founded in 1895 following Daniel Swarovski’s invention of the world’s first electric-powered crystal cutting machine and lexicon of crystal cuts that produced a new level of crystal clarity. After visiting the Northern Lights, he partnered with Dior to create his famous Aurora Borealis, or AB, coating, a very thin layer of gold applied to half of a crystal’s facets to create an iridescent, shimmering effect. Today, Swarovski Crystals provide the sparkle for Beyonce and Taylor Swift’s concerts, most notably with 250,000 crystals on Beyonce’s red catsuit (Cowboy Carter Tour) and more than 5,000 on Taylor Swift’s guitar (Eras Tour), now housed at the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum.
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.
