Being human is a courageous act. The challenge in our life is to keep the heart open, especially then, when you most want to close it. Let life crack you open. Let hurt and loss and joy and wins happen to you equally, as unique experiences of all kinds are essential to your own unfolding.

A life well-lived is one full of losses as much as triumphs and adventures. Wherever you stand at the moment, this necklace will encourage you to keep your heart open, to take the risk, while tuning in with your soul that you are living in integrity, and if need-be, honoring necessary boundaries and making use of your thorns when needed. Difficulties are blessings in disguise, bridges to the bounty that offer one particular truth: that life is happening for you and not to you. Just like a rose, the more open we are the more vulnerable, but also mesmerizing, radiant and attractive we are.

This rectangular-shaped pendant is embellished with three Garnet stones. Garnet is a deep-red stone that inspires love and devotion, courage and hope. It speaks to the root chakra and brings grounding aspects. Garnet is known to be the stone of higher thinking and self-empowerment and carries energies of fire, passion, creativity and strength. The name ‘garnet’ comes from the Latin word ‘Garanatus’ and translates as ‘seedlike’ reminding us to come back to the source, the place where wholeness resides.
 

Our 'Proud to be Unique' necklace pairs beautifully with our Gentle Heart necklace, as both stones - Garnet and Pink Tourmaline amplify their energies to promote love.
