Dandelion | Emerald | Fringe Rollerball Necklace

Dandelion Dreams is one of my most iconic designs! The Dandelion rollerball necklace features tiny seeds floating on an invisible breeze. Dandelions are a symbol of hope, wishes, and joy. Dandelions have been harvested for their nutritional value since prehistory. For instance, the entire plant is edible and full of nutrients. It was once grown intentionally as a superfood in large yard patches during the 1920s for its medicinal value. Dandelions are an extremely valuable food source during the early spring for pollinators. Dandelions are a symbol for both youth and joy. It is said that their seeds are carried on the wind and to grant wishes. With more than 250 different species of Dandelion, they can be found in virtually every part of the world. For most, Dandelions evoke a strong feeling of nostalgia and youthfulness which makes them irresistible to blow on… even as adults!

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 perfectly with tension so they’re never out of place! This particular piece has a very special Spring Queen themed fringe. At the center focus is a tiny bee charm, surrounded by raindrops and delicate bell flowers.

The Crystal featured on this Rollerball Necklace is Emerald. 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.

Emerald is a gemstone of the mineral beryl, and is colored green by traces of chromium and/or vanadium. Most emeralds are highly included, which accounts for their heavy matrix appearance. The dominant heart of the stone is opaque in shades of pale green to teal. Veins of heavy black are apparent in some specimens more than others. Pockets of druzy-like formations are interspersed throughout. The inclusions and fissures within an emerald are sometimes called jardin (French for garden) due to their their mossy appearance. Imperfections are unique for each emerald and can be used to identify a specific stone, much like a geological fingerprint. It was once famously declared, “All the green of nature is concentrated within the Emerald.” The color of this lush crystal stirs the soul like the heart of spring, symbolizing hope, renewal, and growth. In the metaphysical world, Emerald is called the Stone of Successful Love. It was dedicated in the ancient world to the goddess Venus for its ability to open and nurture the heart. Emerald is also a stone of great vision and intuition, believed to foretell future events and reveal personal truths. Emerald is a favorite among creatives because of its unique ability to align the heart with vision and intuition, giving creative works a spark of vitality and truthfulness.
