Description

Jade is the stone that encourages wisdom and long life. So enjoy a long life wearing this necklace with its chunks of yellow and orange translucent jade, strung together with onyx rounds and carved jade barrels and making its point at the graceful curve of your decolletage, where a large, beautiful two-sided carved centerpiece of jade lightly rests.


Enjoy a One-of-a-kind hand made piece of jewelry by the local artist Constanza!


Here is a word from the artist: 


My name is Constanza and I am the artistic creator behind Constanza Jewelry. My objective is to marry the creative process with charitable giving. Up to 50% of each piece of jewelry I sell goes to a charity or non-profit organization. Some of the organizations I support are: Save the Elephants, the American Friend's Service Committee, U.S. National Parks Service and the Sierra Club. 


I started traveling to remote and exotic places many years ago and immediately fell in love with the simple, yet exquisitely elegant necklaces that the women in these far away places wore.


I began collecting these necklaces, with their natural colored beads and hand-made shapes, varied textures and worn patinas. As time allowed, I undid my old necklaces and mixed the Chinese carved jade and Tibetan coral and Moroccan amber with the many new shades of freshwater pearls and ovals of agate and nuggets of quartz now available. The results are on these pages: Creative combinations of beads both ancient and new, each necklace unique and one of a kind, each an artistic melange of nature's aesthetic.  


I hope you will be intrigued by these art pieces and enjoy wearing a Constanza original, not only because it is uniquely beautiful, but because the glow that your skin will bring to the necklace will reflect the glow you will be bringing to those you are helping.
