"We Rise" Boho Statement Necklace
- Spiral Goddess Inspirational Pendant -

This "We Rise" statement necklace for women features an artisan-made Mother Goddess pendant, Greek ceramic beads, copper metal, genuine deer lace, and three types of wooden beads. The pendant is made of polyclay and entrancing in design, with the goddess' hair given a whimsical wildness and spirals stylistically used for her arms and legs. "We Rise" is a positive, life-affirming motto of unity and self-assertion, of social change and individual empowerment. As an inspirational sentiment, it is a fitting companion for the symbol of the Mother Goddess, herself a life-affirming symbol of nature and inner growth.

The colorful ceramic beads are from Mykonos and were made in Greece. They are tube shaped and bring a sense of tribal fun to the necklace. As for the wooden beads, there are four kinds: bayong medium brown bead, bayong small brown bead, striped brown bead, and dark brown hand-carved bicone bead. The organic nature of these beads goes well with the ceramic tubes in terms of both color and of texture, thus enhancing the tribal boho styling. The length of the necklace strand is approximately 21.5 inches, including the hook clasp. The pendant is about 2.25 inches long, so the complete length as worn, including pendant, would be 23.75 inches.

With its lovely "We Rise" inspirational goddess pendant and bohemian tribal jewelry style, this one-of-a-kind statement necklace would make the perfect gift for anyone who loves unique and meaningful jewelry. It is also a great gift for a new mother or grandmother celebrating the maternal and feminine power of women, or someone on a neo-pagan spiritual pathway. Designed and handmade beaded by me with care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer, this necklace comes boxed and all wrapped up and ready for gifting to someone uniquely special—maybe yourself!

About the Spiral Symbol
The spiral is a distinctive shape, with a dynamic quality that expresses movement and growth. The spiral can be seen in the form of immense cosmic galaxies as well as in the tiny whorls of a human fingerprint and the microscopic structure of DNA. We see spiraling shapes in certain seashells and plants as well. Since ancient times, people across a wide variety of cultures have found symbolic meaning in spirals. Possible interpretations include growth, fertility, the journey through life, time and its passage, the journey beyond life, the sun, protection against evil, and infinity.

About the Mother Goddess
Widely worshipped in ancient times, the Mother Goddess is associated with fertility, creation, maternal power, earth, and nature itself. Many ancient artifacts of her form have been discovered in Anatolia, Eastern Europe, Egypt, and the Near East. Archaeologists sometimes refer to these ancient renderings as "Venus" figures.
