Mediterranean Inspired Statement Necklace
- Turquoise, Coral, White Colors; Greek Spiral Pendant -

https://www.etsy.com/prettygonzo/listing/240169287/spiral-pendant-beaded-statement-necklace?ref=shop_home_feat_4&frs=1


This colorful artisan necklace features an eye-catching Mykonos spiral pendant, red coral pearls, white quartz, turquoise magnesite and howlite, and copper-colored Japanese seed beads. The spiral pendant was made in Greece and has a stylish rustic look. Its wavy spiral image reminds me of ancient treasure from the depths of the Mediterranean. The pendant also evokes the waves of the sea and the turning of our world and our lives.

This one-of-a-kind handmade necklace is 21 inches long and includes: 
• Red coral pearls from Swarovski
• Oval turquoise magnesite beads
• Heishi-style turquoise howlite
• White quartz rondelles and rounds
• Copper glass Japanese seed beads
• High-quality 49-strand beading wire
• Copper-plated bead caps
• Sterling silver crimps
• Copper crimp covers and wire guards
• Copper-plated TierraCast jump rings

The clasp used here is a copper-tone hook and eye, with sweet leafy detailing that reminds me of certain types of seaweed. A close up is inset into one of my photos.

With evocations of the Mediterranean and inspired by the Earth's precious waters, this is the perfect necklace for anyone who loves the sea and the meaningful symbol of the spiral. Handmade by me with great care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer, this beauty will come wrapped and ready for gifting to someone special—perhaps yourself! :)

ABOUT THE SPIRAL SYMBOL
The spiral is such a special shape, with an amazing dynamic quality that expresses movement and growth. The spiral can be seen in the form of immense cosmic galaxies as well as in the relatively tiny whorls of a human fingerprint and the microscopic structure of DNA. We see spiraling shapes in certain seashells and plants, and since ancient times, the human imagination has found symbolic meaning in spirals in and across a wide variety of cultures. Possible interpretations of spirals as symbols include growth, fertility, the journey through life, time and its passage, the journey beyond life, the sun, protection against evil, and infinity. In every sense, the spiral is a positive symbol!
