Resin Charm Necklace with Sunstone & Jade Beads Wire-wrapped in Antiqued Bronze Wire, adjustable

This Sunstone Bead wire-wrapped charm necklace is from my new Mala-inspired line. It features 8mm beads carefully wrapped with my signature wire-wrapping style, highlighted with a handmade charm and dangling 5-6mm accent beads on the length adjusting chain.

This particular piece contains Sunstone beads, nephrite jade, pyrite and peach Botswana Agate. Many varieties of Sunstone creamy, white, orangish and peachy colors and are associated with the radiance of the sun for which it is named. Sunstone promotes groundedness, openness and benevolence, and promotes a certain joy of life. It is closely associated with the Root and Sacral Chakras. Nephrite jade promotes balance and strength and ultimately, emotional well-being. The charm is made with paper and resin and depicts a lovely flower detail that complements the warm glow of the sunstone bead and the natural green tones of the jade. Wear this necklace if you need to ground yourself and take charge of your life! All completely hand-made with love and mindful attention to detail.

Mala necklaces are used for meditation, like a rosary. This is not a mala necklace, per se, it is inspired by the idea of Malas. A Mala includes 108 beads, or a smaller divisible number of 108, like 54, 28, all the way down to 9 or even 3, the ultimate sacred number. Necklaces from this line have 9 beads on each side, leading down to a main “guru” bead, from which a homemade charm hangs. 

Each is adjustable with 9 5-6mm beads hanging from the adjusting chain, 3 inches in length. Metal materials are nickel and tarnish-free antiqued bronze, including the wire, charm, chain and clasp and are all easily cleaned with a dry or damp cloth. I mindfully select each gemstone with care to complement both the colors and the spirit of the charm.

Adjusts from 18 to 24 inches. Store either hanging or in your favorite jewelry box with plenty of space to breathe. Complementary earrings available.
