Ocean hues Sword Breast-plate - Large on Honey
Regular price $339.00This captivating breastplate-style pendant, carved from translucent Serpentinite Pounamu, showcases a dreamy blend of soft aqua blues and rich green tones. When light passes through the stone, it glows from within, revealing its vibrant layers and giving it a mystical, almost otherworldly presence.
Hand-carved in the traditional breastplate design, this pendant carries deep cultural significance as a symbol of protection and strength.
What makes this Serpentinite Pounamu truly unique is its slightly porous nature, which allows it to form a deeper connection with its wearer over time. The stone may naturally absorb oils from your skin, causing its colours to deepen and darken as you wear it. This is not a flaw but a beautiful part of the stone’s natural evolution, making it more personal and intimately tied to your journey. As it changes, the breastplate becomes a living stone, growing with you and reflecting your own experiences and energy.
The pendant is accompanied by a hand-braided, adjustable cord made from durable waxed polyester, designed for comfort and longevity. Its extendable nature allows for versatility in how the pendant is worn, whether you prefer it closer to the heart or as a more prominent statement piece.
