Amazonite

Amazonite

Amazonite, Aquamarine & Lapis Lazuli – Necklace – Carpe Koï – Wealth, abundance and freedom of mind. Water harmony – Inner strength – Transformation & Achievement. This prosperity necklace stands out for the harmony of its natural stones and its remarkable pendant representing a Carpe Koï, symbol of perseverance, courage and prosperity. It is composed of 70 beads of amazonite, aquamarine and lapis-lazuli, carefully paired in a composition with varied shapes and luminous tones. The whole features an alternating mix of wide flattened oval pebbles, with softly rounded contours and a smooth polished surface, faceted round beads of different sizes, and small translucent beads, also faceted. The stones reveal a rich palette of colors: The amazonite, with generous oval pebbles, unveils seductive nuances of aqua green, turquoise and blue-green, sometimes slightly shaded by lighter areas and fine natural marbling. Their polished surface highlights the softness and depth of their tones. The lapis-lazuli, presented in faceted round beads, provides a strong contrast with its ultramarine, midnight blue and bluish-violet hues, punctuated by lighter mineral variations. The aquamarine, in the form of small delicately faceted beads, offers very pale blue tones, almost crystal, accompanied by a soft transparency and bright reflections. Small golden elements punctuate the different stones, highlighting their sparkle and creating a beautiful harmony between the aquatic tones and the warm touches of the metal. At the center sits a remarkable pendant in golden copper alloy representing a Carpe Koï, worked in volume in a free and dynamic shape. The fish adopts a strongly curved position, evoking an ascending motion and the flexibility of its swimming. Its body is richly crafted with a relief-scaled pattern, while the head features sculpted lines emphasizing the eyes, mouth and contours of the face. The lateral fins and the broad deployed tail are finely striated, bringing depth, movement and realism to the piece. The golden, brilliant and luminous finish enhances the reliefs and particularly highlights the ornamental work of the pendant.

Please note, The Carpe Koï, in Chinese and Japanese traditions, the koi carp holds an important place in art and spiritual symbolism. It represents perseverance, courage in the face of trials, prosperity and success. An old Chinese legend tells that a carp managing to swim up the currents of the Yellow River and to pass through the mythical Dragon Gate transforms into a celestial dragon. This legend makes the carp a symbol of transformation, elevation and achievement, illustrating the ability to overcome obstacles to reach a higher ideal. The curved and ascending position of the pendant recalls this symbolism of movement, effort and self-transcendence. The stones composing this necklace are associated with different symbolic qualities: Amazonite: emotional harmony, calm, balance and sincere expression. Aquamarine: serenity, inner clarity, communication and gentleness. Lapis-lazuli: wisdom, knowledge, truth and spiritual awakening. The combination of these three stones and the Carpe Koï gives rise to a necklace with a singular character, bringing together water harmony, the strength of perseverance and the symbolism of spiritual transformation.
