Malachite · Sterling Silver Necklace
Malachite · Sterling Silver Necklace
A one-of-a-kind sterling silver necklace, made with a gorgeous, intense green Malachite stone. The stone has the lovely characteristic light and dark shades and concentric circle patterns inside. The small stone is a Hawk’s Eye (also known as Blue Tiger’s Eye) which is a lovely dark mid-night blue colour and has that soft iridescent Tiger’s Eye sheen.
This design with its flowing forms and spirals is a representation of the air; each spiral, braid and silver bead has been created by hand in our home studio in Pucallpa, Peru.
In ancient Peruvian cultures, natural metals were deemed very spiritually important, not only for their visual beauty, but they were thought to hold deeper meanings. Silver was a sacred metal and was said to hold the essence of the Moon, the lunar deity ‘Mama Quilla’ meaning Mother Moon with her strong female energy.
The pendant is on a 20 inch oxidised Sterling Silver foxtail chain (one length). The thickness of the chain balances well with the boldness of the pendant. You can choose the option below to have the pendant come with this chain, or to have the pendant on its own if you already have a chain you love.
The necklace will arrive in a reusable 100% cotton ITAYA drawstring bag, inside a gift box – ready to be given as a present to someone special or to yourself!
Beautifully striking, unusual with a touch of rustic artisanal charm – our silver pendants are all one-off designs and have been created with intention, thought and care.
