Sun Symbol Necklace, Southwest Petroglyph Gemstones Handmade Jewelry

The beautiful "Halo Sun" handmade necklace features a petroglyph inspired sun pendant, leopardskin jasper, shell and copper - unique Southwest jewelry for women.

Filled with the rich, earthy colors of the Desert Southwest, the one of a kind HALO SUN necklace is a perfect handmade jewelry gift for the woman who loves the symbolism of Native American petroglyphs. The beautiful necklace features an artisan polymer clay sun symbol pendant, leopardskin jasper gemstones, shell heishe and copper. The pendant was created from white polymer clay. A concentric circle halo sun symbol design was inscribed free hand into the polymer clay then hand painted with earthy pigments reminiscent of the sandstone and sage of the desert. The backside of the pendant is also inscribed with a petroglyph looking design, including the maker’s mark, a spiraling P. A coating of clear polymer clay sealer was applied to protect the pendant and keep it vibrant for many years of wearing pleasure. Three heavy gauge copper jump rings securely fasten the unique wire bail of the pendant to the main body of the necklace.

To perfectly highlight the colors of the sun pendant, gorgeous leopardskin jasper and shell heishe was used. Also sometimes referred to as jaguar stone, leopardskin jasper is known for its earthy colors and distinct potter and swirly patterns. As you can see in the photos, the colors range from a dark reddish brown pinks, peaches and a pale beige. Each stone is distinct in its pattern. Between each grouping of three leopardskin jasper rounds, each separated by small copper beads, is found three thin heishe shell discs in a pale peachy color, also separated from the jasper by copper beads. A copper hook clasp set finishes the meaningful necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the HALO SUN petroglyph inspired necklace is a lovely gift for the woman who is captivated by the magic and beauty of the symbols.

The unique halo sun petroglyph pendant was artisan created from polymer clay that was hand inscribed and painted.
