Hadiya Necklace

The stone is a type of petrified wood, although it does not actually contain any wood at all. In fact, the word “petrified” comes from the Greek word petro, meaning “stone”, whereby silicate mineral such as chalcedony replaces the structure of trees that died millions of years ago. Petrified wood can preserve the original structure of the ancient wood in all its detail, down to the microscopic level. These phenomenal wood opalite beads in earthy hues of honey brown, grey and black are accented by gold plated Tibetan spacers and discs of dried coconut shell.

Wood Opalite is a talisman of wood energy and carries a grounding earthiness. It symbolises new beginnings, growth, and strength.

Hadiya is finished with a handmade adjustable brass chain and clasp from Kenya, and a gold plated SHIKHAZURI charm. This stylish combination of tribal elements and beautifully polished earthy beads makes this a gorgeous gift from Africa which exudes elegance and style.
