Courage Necklace

The focal of this choice necklace is a large, stunning handmade Tuareg silver bicone bead. On each side of it are African copper bicones and African silver Heishi spacer beads. All are strung on dark rust brown Greek leather, known for it’s smooth finish, consistent color and extra soft & supple texture from the very first time it’s worn. The crimps at the ends and the lobster clasp are all sterling silver.

Copper is an excellent energy conductor and sends and amplifies thoughts. It can open the heart center and thereby create total awareness of the self and generate a capacity for tremendous psycho-spiritual self-confidence and growth. Physiologically it is believed that Copper helps all forms of rheumatism, arthritis, and disorders of the intestinal tract. Copper also strengthens the Pineal and Pituitary glands and increases flexibility of bone tissue such as ligaments, cartilages, and tendons. This can aid in the prevention of injury for those who are athletes. Energetically speaking, Copper is highly conductive and also activates the body’s electro-magnetic properties and sends and amplifies thoughts. Copper’s conductive energies are at the heart of it’s power, both physically and spiritually. Because this crystal metal doesn’t hold a charge, but instead, sends or conducts it on, it is a very useful for projecting and directing energy and healing work.

The Tuareg tribe from Africa is known around the globe for their skill in jewelry making, and especially silver design. This focal bead is handmade from authentic Tuareg silver, which is an alloy of silver and copper and the shape and form of the bead is inspiring. The Tuareg are a nomadic people of Niger and surrounding countries. The Tuareg people in Mali and Niger were devastated by droughts and then flooding in late 2005 and immense losses have destroyed their way of life. The once proud culture is only a shadow of itself.
