Aquamarine, whose name means “seawater,” is the stone of courage and communication. Its pale, icy blue color evokes a clear winter sky or the shallows of a tropical lagoon. In this necklace, aquamarine chips are combined with crushed clear quartz (“crushed ice”), flat beads, white rice pearls, and sterling silver elements. The crushed quartz adds a sparkling, frosty texture that catches the light with every movement. This necklace is especially helpful for those who fear public speaking or have difficulty expressing their true feelings – it calms the throat chakra and encourages honest, compassionate communication. The mix of shapes – flat, faceted, and organic pearl – makes the necklace versatile, equally at home with a casual sweater or a silk blouse. It rests lightly on the collarbone, perfect for drawing attention to your face and voice. A thoughtful gift for anyone born under the sign of the water bearer or for those who simply need a cooling, soothing energy in their lives.
