Mystic Mountains | Fringe Full Metal Rollerball Necklace | Blue Lace Agate

There is something very special about Mystic Mountains. Peaceful mountains and rich forests under a moonlit sky tends to evoke a sentimental feeling of nostalgia in our hearts. This design tends to remind people of someone special, a special place, or a special moment in time. It’s truly the most astounding feeling to hear you connect with this artwork in the ways that you have because it is literally a piece of my home– a piece of my heart. My little studio sits in the heart of the Rocky Mountains and April is always a very magical experience. We experience both spring and winter in the same month, often finding vibrant spring buds peeking through a sparkling blanket of white snow. It feels a bit like Narnia! Mystic Mountains expresses the unique beauty of the Rockies and my profound love for them.

The Full Metal Rollerball Necklace is inspired by my love and knowledge of Historical Jewelry, specifically 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! It should be noted that all rollers are easily removed from their bottles and many customers have opted to use their necklaces for keepsakes, specimens, and memorials. You can seal your bottles with wax, cork, rubber, or any other seal of your choosing! Your glass will remain forever safe in its metal casing.

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 star charm.

The crystal featured on this Rollerball Necklace is Blue Lace Agate. 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.

Blue Lace Agates within the Mountain Witch collection are exceptionally rich and banded in shades of pastel pastel blue and indigo. These Blue Lace Agate have been cut and polished by artisans to achieve their beautiful crystalline shape. Blue Lace Agate is a very rare crystal because it is actually a variety of blue banded Chalcedony thought to have been completely mined out! A recent discovery of it in South America allowed me the unique opportunity to obtain some of it for you. While you may see Blue Lace Agate this year at the gem shows, sources are finite so get it while you can!! Blue Lace Agate combines the properties of Agate and Chalcedony, which makes it a uniquely calming and peaceful stone. According to metaphysical thought, Blue Lace Agate is the pinnacle stone of communication. It is believed that the oceanic formations found within promote circulation between emotion, energy, and physical. Helping us to connect to our whole being, Blue Lace Agate can aid communication in both a literal and internal sense.
