Fern | Rollerball Necklace | Emerald

Fern Frond is one of my most iconic and sought after designs! The Fern rollerball necklace features delicate and detailed Fern fronds. Ferns are one of the most ancient plant species that can be found in modern times. Unlike other plants, ferns do no reproduce through seeds or flowers but rather through spores. As a result, this small difference likens ferns more closely with mosses rather than other plant species. In folklore, it was thought to bring happiness and wealth if you were to find a fern flower or seed. The irony being that you will never find one because they don’t exist! Ferns are really incredible plant allies which are edible and have been used for centuries in medicine and agriculture. Furthermore, ferns are linked with the removal of toxins and are currently being studies for their ecological significance. Fern forests can be found all over the united states, but the most incredible ones I’ve ever personally experienced were in Washington State. To me, Ferns evoke both a sense of nostalgia and magic which makes me long for rainy days and rainbows.

The Crystal featured on this Rollerball Necklace is natural 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.
