The Jacla style necklace, like the Squash Blossom style necklace, comes from a time where different Native Cultures wore their wealth on their person - in the form of necklaces, rings, and earrings. The Jacla style is Y shaped, with "earrings" dangling from the bottom center. On this necklace, they do not detach.
It was worn traditionally as a status symbol for those who did not have material wealth, but spiritual health/wealth in abundant blessings. This one is infused with love and water blessings, a balance of masculine and feminine, after Mars going direct and the subsequent beneficial alignments with Venus and the Sun. It was made when the Phoenix constellation was high in the sky, which has 4 main stars, and symbolized rebirth and reincarnation in Ancient Greece. To me, it symbolizes the rebirth and immortality of our Ancestors.
This Royston mine Turquoise is from Nevada, is non-treated and non-colorized, 100% natural and from old vintage stock. In ancient times, Turquoise was a stone of protection, carried the conductivity of the copper within the Earth it was mined from, which also gives its color. Royston Turquoise of this size and quality is rare. Adding the sea elements of the coral lends purification to protection and the deep matrix feels grounded and centered. These stones carry a high vibration from Mother Earth.
The bench beads are star pattern, and bring in the symbols and wisdom of the star people. This is a bright and happy piece, meant for celebrations, ceremony, or everyday wear, just to make you feel joyful, connect with your ancestors, the sun and stars, while you count your blessings with gratitude.
My items are handmade by me and always one of a kind. Though I have some distant Native American ancestry, my items should NOT be considered Native American made. They are made in my own respectful and sacred way, and in a style appropriate for non-natives to wear.
