This unique and unusual necklace is made from semi-precious stones, a hand-cast resin sea urchin, some superior quality Czech glass rondelle beads and sterling silver. It is designed to sit around the collarbone to do justice to the unique contents of the piece. It has a sterling silver extender chain, finished with a gemstone bead, and measures from 16¼ to 19 inches (41 to 48½ cm).

The centrepiece is a lovely resin sea urchin test. The original was found by myself when I lived on the Isle of Mull. After a very low tide, I discovered many tiny green urchins on the shore of Loch Scridain. The light but vibrant blue resin urchin has a slight shimmer and is complemented by the following gemstones: amethyst, aquamarine, blue aura quartz, blue lace agate, lapis lazuli and turquoise.

These stones can protect you from “mood hoovers” (we all know one or two of those, right?) and other negative or draining energies. Their gentle healing abilities can help to combat depression, exhaustion, panic attacks, mood swings and grief. Obsessive behaviours and addictions may be eased, leaving you feeling much more mentally balanced. Your ability to speak your truth with grace and gentleness may be increased, as will be your intuition and creative thinking. Tranquility, happiness, abundance, success, positive friendships and even love are indicated by this combination.

This necklace contains a variety of polished, faceted and rough-cut stones to provide a pleasing mixture of textures. It comes in a gift box with the descriptive enclosure photographed which tells the new owner of this unique jewellery all about its qualities. A complementary polishing cloth is also included.
