What I love about this amulet is that it looks so ancient, and the imagery is so iconic. She is a classic female figure. I am told that when the goddess' arms are raised as they are here, that the goddess is Parvati. She embodies the loving and nurturing elements of the Feminine Divine. It's little wonder that she has so gracefully endured. I noticed that the patina had just a bit of verdigris. I wanted to harmonize with that beautiful blue green color by using aquamarine. The irregular "native cut" of the stones (179 carats), and the asymmetrical Thai silver beads give this necklace a truly ancient feel. A real treasure. There is an aquamarine charm by the Balinese silver toggle clasp that has a small garnet accent. The necklace is 17" long.
