SOLD!!! Solidarity 10 is my first 3 strand necklace in my fundraising Solidarity Series. This is a FUNDRAISER for World Central Kitchen/Ukraine. All proceeds from the sale of my Solidarity Series will be donated to World Central Kitchen's efforts to feed refugee families fleeing Ukraine.

In this piece I used Golden Jade round beads, Calcite ovals and Lapis Lazuli. It's finished with Delica Glass Spacer beads and a Sterling Silver toggle clasp. The short strand is 16.5 inches long and the longer one is 20 inches long. I've priced everything in the series with numerology in mind. The prices add up to a 10 which equals a 1 and that symbolizes a New Beginning. Donating the proceeds is my small way to help these families with their new beginnings.

According to charmsoflight.com, "Calcite is a powerful amplifier and cleanser of energy. It cleans negative energies from the environment. It brings forth a polarising prismatic energy, which engenders a spectrum of energy to clear and to activate all of the chakras. Calcite is a spiritual stone that facilitates the opening of higher consciousness and psychic abilities. It helps mind and body to remember soul experiences.

Calcite connects the emotions with the intellect. It is an excellent stone when studying the arts and sciences. It calms the mind, teaches discernment, stimulates insights, and boosts memory.

Calcite cleanses and improves the functions of the kidneys, pancreas, and spleen. It dissolves calcification of the bones. It balances the assimilation of calcium within the body, strengthening the skeleton and joints. It alleviates intestinal and skin conditions, stimulates blood clotting and tissue healing."

She also comments, "A stone of protection that may be worn to guard against psychic attacks, Lapis Lazuli quickly releases stress, bringing deep peace. It brings harmony and deep inner self-knowledge. Encourages self-awareness, allows self-expression and reveals inner truth, providing qualities of honesty, compassion and morality to the personality. Stimulates objectivity, clarity and encourages creativity. Lapis Lazuli assists to confront and speak one’s truth and inspires confidence. It bonds relationships, aiding in expression of feelings and emotions.

Lapis Lazuli boosts the immune system, purifies blood, lowers blood pressure, cooling and soothing areas of inflammation. It alleviates insomnia and vertigo, and overcomes depression. Lapis Lazuli benefits the respiratory and nervous systems and the throat, vocal cords, and thyroid, cleanses organs, bone marrow and thymus."

firemountaingems.com states, "As a member of the quartz family (like citrine), yellow "jade"/butter quartz is used by crystal practitioners for many of the same uses as other quartz stones. It is said to be a stone of wisdom, helping users to learn from their experiences and gain self-confidence. Yellow as a color also symbolizes warmth and joy. This stone is also believed to affect the digestive system and increase the metabolism.

Yellow "jade"--as a stone with a yellow coloration--is associated with the solar plexus chakra for its ability to soothe anxiety. It is not a current birthstone, but it has been historically assigned to the summer months, especially the sign of Leo."

I'm happy to donate all of the proceeds from the sale of this necklace to World Central Kitchen, and in exchange for your purchase you receive a one of a kind necklace that was made to honor the people and flag of Ukraine!
