”The Chevron is a symbol of the womb. The spiral is a symbol of the joinery toward becoming whole. It also points to the centre and source of life; to the womb of the Goddess and that of each woman. Men pay it reverence in their own robust way, while women constantly look to it as a reminder who they are. Because the womb is also a symbol of infinite space within, it is also a symbol of both infinity and eternity. To be alive is so very mysterious and beyond understanding, its origins must lie in something infinite. To move towards the centre and source of life is the movement into spirituality. As such, it is one of the oldest spiritual symbols in the world.” Nirvana

With her are stunning faceted ovals of Black Obsidian with Cream and Peach Moonstones, Iolite and Rose Quartz round beads. They are strung on my favourite beading thread, made of many fine wires coated with nylon, which gives strength, suppleness and flexibility, protecting the beads and giving a lovely kink-free drape.

This necklace has both cream and peach Moonstone beads. All Moonstones are Goddess Stones - empowering and balancing the inner feminine and reminding us to love the Goddess in the Earth and in all women.

Moonstone is beautifully serene. It has a strong affinity with the emotions and can bring a cooling, soothing, graceful energy to smooth the rough edges of turmoil. It can help us to align with, and flow with, all the cycles of life. Moonstone is excellent for women at all stages of life. It balances hormonal upsets, can help with ‘PMS’, painful menstruation, infertility, challenges of pregnancy, to ease birth, for post birth support and for menopause. Moonstone reminds women of their divinity – that all are goddesses.

Iolite is a stone of visions, dreams and dreaming, helping us to connect with the realms of spirit. It has a powerful feminine energy that links us to the Queen of Heaven goddess archetype – Isis, Astarte, Mary, Juno.

Black Obsidian has a very powerful energy that connects us to Mother Earth and to the Fire at her core. It is deep, passionate, sensual and intense. Obsidian takes us deep inside, to hidden places, and reveals that which needs to be released and that which needs to be owned and integrated. The deep, dark, velvet blackness of the Cosmic Void/Great Womb of Creation can be a fearful place, if the Shadow has not been addressed; alternatively it can be a place of peace, rest, recuperation and dreaming.

Rose quartz is often called "The Love Stone", as it opens the heart to give and receive love.  It can provide gentle, loving support to anyone, however old or young, well or strong, in happy or challenging times.  It is calming and soothing, especially for emotional problems, heartache or stress. 
Rose quartz can be used to heal all emotional pain, whether from current experience or deep-seated issues from the past.  This crystal can provide the loving support needed, enabling one to dare to release emotional pain from the energy body.

I’ve been saving these beautiful silver goddesses and clasps, and many of the beads, for years and years. I kept telling myself that I’d use them one day and my current motto is, ‘What am I waiting for?’ When the May sun finally came out, my creativity ramped up, and I’ve really enjoyed making these. There are more to follow, and if you have any special requests, please email and I’ll see if I can help your desire to manifest.

How to care for your necklace:

Sterling silver will naturally oxidise/tarnish over time simply by being in contact with the air. While you can never avoid this completely, you can help by avoiding contact with water, sweat, perfumes, hair spray, body lotions etc., cleaning chemicals, etc. We include a small silver cloth for you to polish your goddess and keep her shiny! Store your necklace in a jewellery box or bag. Airtight bags are especially good for silver.

All my jewellery passes the ‘give it some very hard tugs’ test and I’ve worn some of my pieces for many years. I have had necklaces break in the past, but only when a child has swung on them! The wire has a particular, recognisable look when broken by pulling it beyond breaking strength. The necklaces are very well made and hardy, but having said that, it’s best to take off these necklaces for sleeping, showering/bathing, swimming, rough sports, etc.

Your necklace should arrive in perfect condition. If not, please contact me immediately. For later breakages, please collect all the beads and return for restringing. There is a cost for this service. If you have a breakage and are unable to find all the beads, I may be able to match beads or find other compatible beads.
