Amazonite might sound like it’s from the Amazon, but the truth is a little more complicated.
Conquistadors in Brazil originally thought that the beautiful pale green stone was from the Amazon River basin. It’s actually from other parts of Brazil, Peru, Colorado, and Virginia.
Called the Hope Stone, Amazonite is thought to bring good luck. Amazonite is also associated with your Heart Chakra, and believed to help soothe tense emotions and encourage honesty and integrity.
Plus, this pale green crystal is just gorgeous. It’s a fantastic addition to any jewelry collection.
My mission is to create handmade jewelry celebrating the shapes and colors found in the natural world using materials and practices that are eco-friendly, sustainable and ethical while giving back to protect our planet.
And, always using hypoallergenic, skin-safe materials so everyone can wear these miniature works of natural art regardless of allergies.
Yes, Amazonite is a beautiful natural stone with a long history, which are the perfect ingredients for having special meanings and metaphysical uses.
Amazonite is associated with the Heart Chakra, the seat of emotions and love in your Chakra. It’s thought to help soothe unpleasant and difficult emotions, making it easier to think clearly in challenging situations.
Amazonite is also called the Hope Stone or the Gambler’s Stone because wearing handmade jewelry made with Amazonite is thought to bring the wearer good luck. It’s thought to enhance your inner strength and determination, while also helping nudge your chances in the right direction.
Right now I primarily make handmade earrings with my Peruvian Amazonite, but I might add new designs or styles of natural stone jewelry in the future.
Like all of my natural stone jewelry, my Amazonite jewelry depends on how I’m inspired to use the stone, as well as the natural colors and patterns of Amazonite that are available.
One of the biggest differences between natural stone jewelry and other kinds of jewelry is that I use the stones that are available when they are available, so sometimes colors or pattern density changes as new deposits are found. Those new colors and patterns sometimes inspire me to make new kinds of jewelry!
My Sterling Silver jewelry is always hypoallergenic and Nickel-free. I work hard to make sure I’m only using hypoallergenic materials, partially because it helps make sure my natural stone jewelry is accessible and comfortable for as many people as possible.
Yes. Amazonite stones are suitable for daily wear as long as you treat your jewelry with some care. Avoid wearing your Amazonite handmade earrings while playing sports or taking showers or swimming, and you should be fine.
Both the Amazonite itself, and my designs, are strong enough to withstand regular daily use.
Also, as a side note, I do not recommend most jewelry cleaning services for natural stone jewelry. Some stones may react badly to certain cleaning chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or other methods. Occasional hand-polishing with soap and water is more than enough to keep your jewelry clean.
