This necklace features an embellished natural brass ring, with unique dangles: a jet black freshwater pearl, accented with antique brass filigree beads and a sole green tree agate bead; an antique bronze wise owl; and a hand wire wrapped natural green tree agate nugget.
 
The chain of this necklace is made by hand wrapping round, polished green tree agate beads and antique brass links.
 
The necklace is approx. 22" in length.

This necklace was inspired by one of the designer's favorite children's rhymes:
A wise old owl lived in an oak.
The more he saw the less he spoke.
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can’t we all be like that wise old bird?

ABOUT THESE GEMSTONES:

Green Tree Agate is said to encourage inner peace, certainty, and an awareness of personal strengths. When exposure to tree agate is sufficiently long term, the gemstone is said to help create security and stability.

The pearl is said to improve self-worth and help people see themselves. It is an emblem of modesty, chastity and purity that symbolizes love, success and happiness. The gemstone also is associated with ministry, bringing wisdom through experience. Pearls are purported to help to attune the chakras; the gentle colors bring soft, healing energy to meditation. By helping people master the heart chakra, they are reported to aid stomach, spleen, intestinal tract and ulcer problems. In addition to their metaphysical properties, pearls are believed to eliminate emotional imbalances.
