- Construction: Traditional hand-knotting on 100% lavender silk thread
- Hardware: 14K Gold-Filled S-Clasp (Ethically Sourced)
- Length: 18 Inches
- Exclusivity: One-of-a-Kind (You will receive the exact strand pictured)
The Palette: A Harmony of Semi-Precious Stones
This isn't just a colorful strand; it is a meticulously balanced composition of high-clarity gemstones. Each bead is hand-selected to ensure the soft pastels of the Rose Quartz and Green Amethyst are punctuated by the vibrant energy of Citrine and the unique bi-color depth of Ametrine.
Traditional Hand-Knotting & Craftsmanship
We utilize the same techniques found in high-end pearl restringing. By placing a hand-tied silk knot between every bead, we achieve two critical goals:
- Safety: If the necklace ever snags and breaks, you won't lose your gemstones—only one bead could possibly fall.
- Drape: The lavender silk provides a fluid, organic movement that mimics the way fabric moves against the skin, avoiding the "stiffness" of wire-strung jewelry.
Gemstone Symbolism
This necklace serves as a wearable intentions kit, combining stones traditionally associated with positive energy:
- Ametrine: Optimization of creativity and mental clarity.
- Citrine: The "Merchant’s Stone," representing abundance and solar energy.
- Rose Quartz: The quintessential stone of unconditional love and compassion.
- Green Amethyst: A cooling stone of peace and spiritual renewal.
- Freshwater Pearls: Symbols of purity and timeless elegance.
Styling & Versatility
At 18 inches, this strand is the "Goldilocks" length—sitting perfectly just below the collarbone.
- The Elevated Basic: Pair it with a simple white linen dress to let the lavender silk pop.
- The Maximalist Stack: Layer it with gold paperclip chains or other Candy Necklace variants to create a personalized color story.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this necklace one of a kind?
Yes. Due to the unique natural variations in the ametrine and citrine beads, this specific strand cannot be restocked or replicated.
What is French Wire and why do you use it?
French Wire is a tiny, delicate coil of 14K gold wire that we hand-place over the silk thread where it meets the clasp. Its primary purpose is to protect the silk from the friction of the metal clasp. Without it, the "sawing" motion of the clasp would eventually fray the thread. It provides a clean, high-end finish found only in professional-grade jewelry and ensures your necklace remains secure for years of wear.
Can I wear this in water?
To preserve the integrity of the natural silk thread and the luster of the freshwater pearls, we recommend removing this necklace before swimming or showering.
We seek out gems for their unique characteristics, natural beauty marks and all. Gemstone colors and shapes may vary slightly due to the nature of the natural precious and semi-precious gemstones.
