Nocturnal | Emerald | Rollerball Necklace

Nocturnal has long been my most sought after design. There is something very magical about Nocturnal. The artwork features my signature coniferous forest inspired by my childhood in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. Dark forests under a moonlit sky tends to evoke a sentimental feeling of nostalgia in our hearts. Maybe its something primal or maybe it reminds us of more carefree times as children. 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 my artwork in the ways that you have because it is literally a piece of my own personal magic– a piece of my heart. I find my greatest peace in the hours of the night and have found my most favorite experiences (like stargazing) and animals (like owls and bats) to be Nocturnal… kind of like me! Nocturnal expresses the unique beauty of nighttime and my profound love for her creations.

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.
