The Amulet
We have always sincerely believed in the power of gemstones. Every gemstone is said to have its own special properties and it is said that different gemstones can afford the wearer protection and coping mechanisms against certain things, as well as having certain physical and mental benefits. Of course we cannot guarantee that wearing jewellery with gemstones in it will indeed afford the wearer these properties but we sincerely hope that they do.
We have decided to call this bracelet our Amulet. An amulet is intended to be a good luck talisman and has been referred to as such throughout the ages. The word takes its name from the Latin “amuletum” which means “an object that protects the wearer from trouble”.
Made in sterling silver we believe this piece will quietly become a forever everyday piece of jewellery that (if the wearer believes in the power of gemstones), will help get them through life’s obstacles.
Choose from the Life Amulet or the Teen amulet. The bracelets comprise a sterling silver flat link chain with clasp.
Our teen amulet can be given at any time before the start of teens. The Life Amulet comes fully completed with all the stones below.
The bracelet starts with a black obsidian -said to be the best all round protective stone.
The order of gems given in the teen amulet is as follows:
On her 13th birthday rose quartz (pink) is added. This is said to promote self love, and to keep the female reproductive system, including hormones, in good order.
At 14 Amazonite (pale blue/green) will be added. Amazonite is said to help the wearer speak the truth and sooth the nervous system and is believed to help with achieving overall success. This could really aid with teenage angst.
On her 15th birthday you add blue green variscite . Variscite is said to bring peace and harmony to the heart and aids stress and anxiety by helping the nervous system. Ideal in the run up to a big exam year.
On her 16th birthday you will add Amethyst (purple) said to be protective, healing and purifying. It is believed to rid the mind of negative thought and is thought to make the wearer humble, sincere and wise. It is also said to promote sobriety!
