Necklace Details

Crystal – Crystal is a highly polished glass and faceted made from natural quartz sand with a sparkle and shine similar to diamonds. Until 2012, Crystal was made by adding lead which provided more hardness than traditional glass. The most famous manufacturer of crystal beads is Swarovski.

Quartz (Madagascar) – Clear Quartz is also known as Rock Crystal or Crystal Quartz. The ancient Greeks called this stone ‘krustallos’, which means ice crystal, because they believed quartz crystals were pieces of ice that were frozen so deeply they would never melt again. The stone of antique crystal balls has been equated with magical, mystical properties throughout the ages. Today it is believed that quartz crystals help with balance, energy, and clarity. Some consider Crystal Quartz an alternate birthstone for April.

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.
