Necklace Details
Chalcedony – Chalcedony was a treasured gemstone of the ancient world. Today, jewelry designers love its glowing, translucent tones and wide range of colors and shapes. Chalcedony can technically refer to any form of translucent, cryptocrystalline quartz (Agate, Bloodstone, Chrysophrase, Onyx) but in the gem trade, it primarily refers to the stone’s luminous light bluish, white or gray color. Blue Chalcedony’s calming color soothes and restores. It is believed to encourage reflection and meditation, eliminate hostility, and serve as a throat-opening good luck charm for public speakers and actors.
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 viewing 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.
