Amethyst Nocturnal | Full Metal Rollerball Necklace

Nocturnal has long been my most sought after design. It was the very first design I ever made in my signature style. The artwork features my signature coniferous forest inspired by my childhood in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. This year, I’ve created both a few classics as well as my brand-new original design concept… The Full Metal Rollerball Necklace. My desire to create my elaborate works of art first came from my love and knowledge of Historical Jewelry. One of my biggest inspirations is the Victorian Chatelaine. The concept of a Rollerball Necklace or perfume vessel jewelry dates back all the way to ancient Romans. It was later revived and popularized during the Victorian era, worn on what was called a Chatelaine. A Chatelaine was a piece of jewelry with small chains suspending various small tools. These were not just any tools but rather extremely elaborate and decorative pieces; typically thimbles, scissors, notebooks, pencils, and vessels for perfume oils. The most commonly found perfume bottles were either made entirely from metal or encased in metal. I am so so proud to have finally created a true Victorian Chatelaine using my original Nocturnal design!

Fringed Rollerball Necklaces feature my signature chain fringe, inspired by the fringe jewelry of the roaring 20’s. Fringe is found in two different styles; either diamond cut chain or bar chain. Each strand is held in perfectly so they’re never out of place! At the end of each chain is a sterling silver faceted charm.

Crystal Ball Rollerball Necklaces feature my signature spheres permanently post-mounted in the style of fine pearls! Each one is drilled by hand so that it can be fitted with the perfect cup and post. This is a popular technique used by other fine jewelers on pearl jewelry, modified to suit my crystal balls. Each crystal ball is doubly reinforced with a sturdy decorative base, creating my unique floating effect. This crystal ball also features a matching Amethyst crescent moon.

The crystals featured on this Rollerball Necklace are Amethyst. Crystals and stones found within my collections are gem-quality specimens curated by artisanal lapidaries and family operated mines. These crystals were curated especially for my rollerball necklaces.

Amethyst within the Love Witch collection are exceptionally rich in color and gem-quality clarity. The Amethyst featured in Love Witch were cut by artisans exclusively for my Rollerball Necklaces. A stone of nobility, Amethyst is one of the most widely used stones in antiquity (along with Sapphire and Ruby). Amethyst was once the stone of Kings and Queens and the highest religious officials. Saint Valentine is often depicted wearing a ring of Amethyst. In ancient times, Amethyst was regarded as valuable as Diamond. Historically, it was believed to assist prophecy and visions and to bring riches and powers to its wearers. In Metaphysical terms, Amethyst is thought to relieve anxiety, promote peace, dispel nightmares, and enhance mood.
