Large Amazonite Heart Pendant

This large heart gemstone necklace has a solid copper chain (2.3mm wide) that is rose gold plated to preserve the finish. The chain can extend from 40cm to 50cm, has a lobster clasp and a 15mm Amazonite heart (attached to the chain) set in copper.

All jewellery comes in a beautiful jewellery box with a relevant gemstone information card, as well as a thank you note with care instructions.

The  gemstones we use are raw and unpolished, so they might have some” imperfections”. (In our opinion it adds to the beauty and individuality of each piece!) 

Jewellery pieces are created by a process called copper electroforming, which allows for the deposition of copper electrolytes over several hours in a copper/acid solution. This results in unique and unpredictable textures, as the entire process is organic.

Please be aware that the colour of copper darkens over time, and the item can be cleaned using a sachet of Copperbrite and a soft cloth. (Available here on my website at www.downtoeartjewellery.co.za) Copper can potentially turn the skin green as it reacts with the chemicals in some skins. A coat of clear nail polish will prevent this.

 About Amazonite:

Believed to refer to the greens of the tropical rainforest as well as its watery hues of the river, Amazonite was named after the Amazon in South America. This variety of feldspar varies from green jade to turquoise, can range from translucent to opaque and often have white veins or alternating streaks.

Amazonite has been valued for centuries by ancient Egyptians, South American Indians and many more, not only for its healing and protective properties, but also its myriad of perceived spiritual benefits.

Symbolism:

Known as the “stone of hope”, Amazonite is thought to provide optimism, joy, love and empowerment. It is also believed to be helpful in overall calming, but particularly that of the brain and nervous system. It sooths emotional trauma and alleviates fear by dissipating negative energy, just as it is believed to filter and protect against electromagnetic pollution.
