Lapis Lazuli and Pearl Nautical Necklace

This exquisite necklace was created from repurposed materials as part of the AG Collection. This lapis lazuli and freshwater pearl pendant is reminiscent of a ship's wheel and it aptly hangs from a 30" Viking Knit chain. The pendant is 3" tall and 1.25" wide. The reclaimed copper has been deeply patinated, polished, and sealed. The spirit of AG lives on in the symbolism of each piece of this collection. 

Lapis Lazuli is thought to enhance one's spiritual awareness and psychic abilities when the third eye chakra is balanced. It is also associated with the throat chakra. Historically, Lapis Lazuli has been considered a stone of protection and strength, with ancient civilizations like the Egyptians using it in jewelry and amulets.

Pearls are said to help access Goddess wisdom and are often used in manifestation work. They can bring grounding, balance, and harmony and are considered a protective gem.

Every wheel symbolizes constant change, movement, and travel. The ship's wheel is also connected with control, ability to navigate among the reefs and find a safe harbour; perhaps a personal responsibility to take charge of one’s own luck.

Copper is the great conductor and the metal of the magician. It amplifies the energies of the stones it accompanies. It is excellent for channelling as well as grounding, thus considered the conduit between heaven and earth. Copper has long been used to aid tissue repair, blood support, and increase vitality. The larger gauges of copper used in my pieces have been reclaimed from castaway wiring, supporting my eco-friendly mission; "Jewelry with a re-purpose!".
