HOT ! amelia necklace

The Amelia necklace is a one of a kind statement piece. It is composed of two strands of Jade. The first strand has a swallow in the center and the second longer strand has two vintage coins with the centerpiece being a traditional Chachal. The circumference of the inner necklace measures 20\", and the outer is 23\".

The light green Jade used in this Heirloom Necklace is sourced from a small family owned business in Guatemala that has been mining jade for generations. In Mayan culture, Light Jade has been used as a symbol for prosperity and success, and a conduit to bring dreams into reality.

The Chachal is of extreme significance to the heritage of the Mayan people and has evolved through the centuries. In pre-Colombian times within Mayan culture, the Chachal was worn by men and women as a way to portray status and wealth, as well as a reflection of one’s own connection to the divine. When the Spaniards arrived in what is now South America, amidst much conflict, assimilation of both cultures intertwined around each other, and the cultural significance of the Chachal evolved. The Chacales are made with low grade silver which will patina or can be easily polished. The heirloom collection is meant to honor this history, and the importance it has had for the Mayan people, as it has been passed down through generations, with the hope of continuing the legacy for many generations to come.
