This Amulet is our tribute to the beauty of Chalcedony, a mineral in the Quartz family, which is found in myriad forms, all over the world. Chalcedony is believed to help emotional balance and it is thought to be able to strengthen stamina and endurance. It is also thought to possess the unique ability to balance all of the energies of the body, mind and spirit. The term Chalcedony is derived from the name of the ancient Greek town Chalkedon in Asia Minor. Chalcedony has been one of the most treasured gemstones throughout many ancient civilizations. It has been used and prized by ancient Romans, Greeks, Babylonians and Assyrians alike. Many chalcedony seals and other forms of jewelry and fabricated tools have been discovered dating back as early as 1800 BC. Many Native American tribes consider Chalcedony to be sacred and most often use it in traditional ceremonial gatherings, particularly in efforts to stabilize and strengthen the bonds between tribes. Here, a subtly Banded Agate variety of Chalcedony has been crafted into a faceted Briolette Bead, by a family of Lapidarists that we work with. Adornments have been a lifelong passion, and studying Metalsmithing enabled me to realize my dream to create wearable art in 3 dimensions. Nature is a constant source of inspiration, as is the history of jewelry. T and Brie came about very organically and feels like the perfect project for a Metalsmith mom and her creative daughter, who enjoy making things together.
