Green Onyx Hand-Knotted Necklace in Sterling Silver

There’s an undeniably sensuous allure to a hand-knotted strand of gemstones. Each bead moves with a liquid grace, the silk thread giving the necklace a supple drape against the skin. In the hand, they’re a joy to roll between your fingers, smooth and rhythmic with just the right weight. It’s a tactile pleasure, flexible and deeply satisfying. I adore layering these strands, playing with different stones, colors, and lengths, but they’re just as beautiful worn alone. Each one is knotted on silk thread chosen to complement the stones.

I've been loving green lately, in just about every shade, and these beads weren't not going to come home with me when I spotted them on my last buying trip. The color is a rich emerald green with a beautiful depth that immediately caught my eye. These faceted heshi beads have a wonderful way of playing with the light, so the necklace is constantly changing as it moves. Some moments the green looks deep and velvety, then a turn of the neck brings flashes of brighter, almost glowing color. It's one of those strands that's difficult to stop looking at because there's always something new catching your eye.

Green onyx has long been associated with strength, renewal, and emotional balance. Traditionally believed to encourage confidence and perseverance, it has been treasured as a stone that inspires growth while helping to quiet the mind.
