The mandorla, or almond, shape is an ancient symbol celebrating women’s wisdom and fertility (which in our modern understanding is not strictly reproductive–creativity is also a manifestation of fertility). It is the divine feminine: a sacred, life-giving form. Moonstone is the perfect accompaniment to this symbol, bringing introspection, creativity, and tenderness. When I want to honor my place in this world as a creative woman, I start by focusing on affection and tenderness for myself. This necklace helps me bring this inner softness into my daily life so that my creativity comes from a place of love.

The full Gem of Intention Pendants include a sculptural slide on the top, hand-carved mini-sculptures with specific symbolism to each design. Like all Gems of Intention, they feature a little carved heart on the back- from my open heart to yours!
