Solidarity 21 is a 2 strand necklace featuring a Copper and Blown Glass pendant, Copper toggle clasp, Quartz ovals and round Lapis Lazuli beads with Delica Glass Spacers at the ends. It's a fundraiser for World Central Kitchen Ukraine. My efforts to help WCK feed the Ukrainian refugee families continues, and each one of my Solidarity Series necklaces that sells results in a 100% donation of the proceeds to World Central Kitchen Ukraine! I used these gemstones because they closely resemble the colors of the Ukrainian flag.

The short strand is 17 1/4 inches long and the longer one is 18 1/4 inches long, without the pendant which is 2 1/2 inches long. Truly an unusual and one of a kind necklace!

Copper is thought to be beneficial for improving circulation in our bodies. charmsoflight.com states, "Copper provides a harmonic connection between the physical and astral bodies and aligns the subtle bodies. It has been used successfully to amplify and to transmit thought. It is said to be a "bestower" of "good", bringing benefit to the user. It is also reported to bring "luck" to persons, especially in the recovery of property.

Copper can conduct electrical impulses and magnify the energy transfer, from the healer or from minerals, to the subject of the healing.

Copper can combat lethargy, passivity, restlessness, excitability, and non-acceptance of oneself. It stimulates initiative, optimism, diplomacy, and independence.

Copper activates and opens the base and sacral chakras, advancing and stabilising the energies of intuition, sexuality, desire, and vitality - directing these energies toward the pursuit of one's path of evolution. It allows one to recognise the barriers which are in the path of one's development.

Copper can be used to stabilise and to balance the flow of blood within the body; helping to increase circulatory functions when necessary. It can be used to cleanse wounds and to fight bacterial infection. It is also useful in the treatment of arthritis, bursitis, and rheumatism, and to stimulate the metabolic processes."
