Created specficially for the PPSP Auction Gala this gorgeous necklace is truly unique. Designed and made by Joy Migala Ochse, a former PPSP Staff member, now professional jewelry maker.

Handmade wearable art pendant in red brass and sterling silver, featuring a raw druzy chrysocolla, a flashing checker cut moonstone, hand forged sterling silver links and a vintage chain with catch clasp (unknown metal). Hand-forged, hand-set, hand-polished.

Chrysocolla is a powerful stone of compromise, negotiation and reconciliation. It is also a stone that empowers the feminine energies and suggests that genuine power is best expressed through gentleness. It is a Goddess stone and those who feel resonant with Chrysocolla will likely feel ancient and enduring energies within.

"When a woman today holds Chrysocolla and connects to such a potent ancient lineage of possibility and confidence, she, perhaps, retains some connection to a time with her authority would not be questioned. (Perrakis, 41)."

Moonstone is another crystal of female empowerment and goddess energy. It holds lunar energies associated with growth, fullness, and fruition. It represents birth, completion, and celebration. Feminine optimism and regeneration, a reminder that what is empty can become full again. Helps to connect with matrilineal healing gifts and honor the women who came before you.

This piece is approximately 2¾ inches across and 1¼ inch high and chain is approximately 19 in.
