Red Bamboo Coral Necklace With Black Spinel, Onyx And Swarovski Butterfly

Black spinel is very durable and has high reflectance, making it an excellent stone for jewellery. The AAA quality faceted beads I have used here are just beautiful, so shiny and sparkly that it is easy to understand why black spinel was often mistaken for black diamond. Bamboo Coral is a deep sea coral that is naturally a light brown colour, resembling bamboo. It is dyed for the jewellery trade, usually a deep red to resemble the rare Red Coral. In ancient times Coral was thought to have the power to protect the wearer against evil and enchantments, Roman children wore coral necklaces to protect them from danger and keep them healthy. Coral is also the traditional 35th wedding anniversary gift. The butterfly is commonly used in Chinese symbolism to represent joy and warmth. The Romans associated butterflies with wedded bliss, and in Japan two butterflies indicate that a marriage is blessed.
