A Glimpse Inside the Wishgiving Studio: Amazonite Squares Silver Necklace

For our artists, the most enjoyable aspect of Wishgiving is the creativity in the design process. In a sense, our artists see the process as bringing life and attention to the gemstone. Recently, we changed our home page to a photographer by Romeo Koitmäe, a very talented photographer we admire. We were very flattered when he told us he loves most of our pieces, particularly the Amazonite Squares Silver Necklace.


The Amazonite Squares Silver Necklace is an elegantly modern piece. A lot of thought went into creating a clean, uncluttered and understated design. The geometric cut of the stones are balanced by the earth-tones of amazonite, and highlighted by pure fine silver details. The artist who designed this piece understood amazonite's characteristics--rich in history as evidenced by its earthy colors and being named after the Amazon river--and drew a careful balance between its obvious antiquity and quiet elegance.

She found pure fine silver details that suited the piece perfectly. Details were painstakingly hand-carved by silver artisans.


The entire piece is very reflective of Amazonite's metaphysical properties as a stone for finding personal truth, soothing energy, creativity, truth and luck.
