Blooming Anew is made to remind you that Spring is always after a Winter and we always have hope of flowers blooming.  This beautiful piece is made with a hand carved Spiderweb Agate and to compliment the pendant I used red and green opals with a Bali Sterling Silver flower spacer.  It has a Bali Sterling Silver toggle and the bail is a handmade Sterling Silver piece.  It is approximately 24" long and the pendant adds another 2".  Bonus:  it has matching earrings.  Great colors in this piece.

Among the ancients, opal was a symbol of fidelity and assurance, and in later history it became associated with religious emotional prayer. It was believed to have a strong therapeutic value for diseases of the eye, and when worn as an amulet, it would make the wearer immune from disease as well as increase the powers of the eyes and the mind. Furthermore, many believed that to the extent the colors of red and green were seen, the wearer would also enjoy the therapeutic powers of those stones: the power to stop bleeding from the ruby or the power to cure diseases from the emerald.

Agate Folklore and Properties:
Agate is believed to discern truth, accept circumstances, and is a powerful emotional healer. Legend says that Agate improves memory and concentration, increases stamina and encourages honesty.
