The Irie Necklace.  Silver chain necklace is sure to become your “go to” necklace.

Both gray sapphire and citrine gemstones adorn this classic silver chain necklace.  In addition to the heart pendant, an Imperial Crown turquoise teardrop adds a splash of vibrant blue color.  (Imperial Crown turquoise is a top-quality gemstone: no stabilization with resin, no color enhancements, nothing but expert shaping by master gem cutters.  Hard-to-find material is in short supply.)

Petite sapphire gemstones, which are softly hued, sit between sections of dapped Argentum silver chain.  Equally luscious are the teardrop shaped citrine gemstones.  Which adorn the delicate chain.  These beauties are also softly hued.  Moreover, instead of being opaque, they’re translucent.

Both the clasp and heart are hand crafted from Argentum silver.  An extender chain sits at the clasp which is also adorned with a turquoise stone.  As a result of putting all these attributes together, you have a charming layered gemstone necklace.

Be sure to check out The Irie Bracelet and The Irie Earrings.  Choose from dangle or post.  Both pieces would be a beautiful complement to this gemstone necklace.  If you prefer earrings that are simple studs, try The Asta Earrings.

Maybe you single strand. necklaces are more your style.  If that’s the case, take a peek at The Vita Necklace.  “Vita” by the way, means “Hope of Life”.

Why this Series…

Last Fall I was approached by Maturing Mama’s creator, Chanelle Jen.Y regarding advertising for Bella Rose Jewelry Design.  While I don’t normally do any publication  type advertising (whether online or in print), Maturing Mama was different.  I believe in their message.

Maturing Mama was created in 2018.  “It has become a brand embraced by mothers around the world and a community inspiring authentic motherhood.”  They place a huge emphasis on the well being.

Not only will my feature be published in their online magazine on May 10th but it will also be on Instagram at: instagram.com/maturing.mama 

I decided to create a limited collection of pieces with a portion of the proceeds going to the National Alliance on Mental Health, (nami.org).  Normally I donate to a local animal shelter but to support Maturing Mama, any purchases from this collection will have a portion of the proceeds going toward mental health awareness.

This collection focuses on pieces for everyday wear, simple and stylish but with meaning.  Not only are the colors trending for 2021 (per the Pantone color guide) but they represent qualities that we all strive for.  In the same fashion, I chose names that also represent these qualities.  This series, The Irie Series means “Happy”.

The main colors are:

Illuminating yellow – I chose citrine.  Citrine represents optimism, power and happiness. 

Ultimate gray – For this I decided on Sapphire and Chalcedony.  Sapphire is Power, strength and kindness.  Chalcedony means inner peace and emotional honesty.

Complementary colors are:

Turquoise – Wisdom, tranquility and hope – this series

Amethyst – Healing and purifying – The Drea Series
