*SOLD* Deep Blue Necklace
Stunning deep indigo blue Keishi Petal Pearls with their organic shapes are a winning combination with a handcrafted Hill Tribe Silver Starfish Pendant. At the back is a sterling silver lobster clasp and a lovely little silver seashell. Flower petal pearls form in the cup left by the removal of a pearl in the first harvesting. This allows pearls nacre to form in the depression, creating a cup-shaped or petal pearl. The second harvesting then yields delicate colors and wonderful petal shapes. Petal pearls take two to three years to form. Due to the growing conditions these lovely little pearls aren't always available. Pearls come fine-finished directly from nature. Because of their natural beauty, they are associated with the matrix of life and some say that the pearl helps balance one’s bodily rhythms and hormonal levels with lunar cycles. They are said to harmonize one’s life with the rhythms of the natural world. Having what appears to be an inward glow, some claim that pearls can be used to help tap inner wisdom and to nurture the growth of love. Pearls symbolize purity, spiritual transformation, charity, honesty, wisdom and integrity, all the best within us. Silver can be used as a mirror to the soul and help you see yourself from the outside without judgement. It is used often with gemstones because it’s able to both attract and retain those qualities that are emitted by the stone and provides a steadying influence for the jewel. Hill Tribe silver is pure, fine silver (.999) produced under fair trade regulations by a group of Karen Hill Tribe villagers in Northern Thailand. The Karen silversmiths are taught to carefully handcraft each design from scratch, using high content silver. They have passed down their silver work skills and traditions and today, each handmade ornament is a unique masterpiece that represents centuries of Karen culture and art. Because it is handcrafted each bead and piece is distinct and slightly different. Length-16 1/2 inches with 1 inch drop on pendant. A 2-inch extender chain for added length can be added below.
