This stunner is made with raw green diamonds, and dusted with ruby and chrome diopside. The focal is a lustrous abalone teardrop. Padma, from Sanskrit, means lotus flower -- the lotus is a symbol of purity, rebirth, and the divine because it rises from the dark mud to become a breathtakingly gorgeous bloom. And, this necklace will make you feel as though you are reborn in beauty! At once simple and ornate, this will pair well with any necklace stack, and can be dressed up or down as you wish.

About Diamond

Ah, the diamond! The hardest material on earth, a girl's best friend, and the same chemical makeup as graphite and coal. Humanity has been fascinated with this gemstone since time immemorial. The diamond is a symbol of stability and dependability in an ever-changing world, and its name comes from the ancient Greek word "adamas," meaning unbreakable, unchangeable or invincible. Diamonds have been adorning humans for millennia. Beyond their modern representations as the stone of marriage and commitment, diamonds have also represented faithfulness, purity and innocence. It is also considered the stone of intellect, encouraging clear understanding, clarity of thought, and resolution of problems. Diamonds resonate with the crown chakra, enhancing the mind-body connection and supporting release of unwanted patterns.

About Ruby

Known as the inextinguishable flame, rubies have been prized for centuries for their connection to protection & abundance, and for encouraging you to follow what brings you joy. Their powerful & intense root chakra energy can dislodge what is blocking you, both physically and spiritually, and help return you to your flow. They can also aid in circulation and detox, and support the setting & manifestation of your goals. Special affinity for Aries, Cancers, Leos, Scorpios, and Sagittarius.

About Chrome Dioxide

Diopside comes from the Greek "di" (two) and "opsis" (vision), and chrome diopside is revered as a stone of visualization, sometimes placed on the forehead to help encourage good dreams by ancient peoples. Other cultures believe this gem comes from the tree of life, and buried their dead with it to ensure renewal of life. Long used to boost creative vision and awareness, chrome diopside is also thought to improve intellect and encourage the desire to learn. It is also used to help alleviate aggression or stubbornness by enhancing love and commitment. Its green color resonates with the heart chakra, and it has been used to treat headaches, regulate blood pressure, encourage recovery after illness, and to help those suffering from addiction. Special affinity for Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo.

About Abalone

Abalone is a shell, made of nacre (same as pearls) by sea organisms secreting layer upon layers of the stuff over time. This beautiful “bio-crystal” has been used by humans for millennia – as jewelry, in rituals, and as currency. Abalone encapsulates the healing energy of the ocean, bringing a sense of peace and one-ness with nature, and transmuting negative energy into positive to uplift the mood and bring new perspective to situations. Wearing it can encourage healing (for yourself and your relationships), compassion, and improved communication.

Materials & Care

Mikken Designs always uses natural, unaltered gemstones, unless otherwise indicated.

Over time, the metal components may tarnish or fade. To keep them shining, please store your piece in a jewelry pouch or soft cloth, and avoid direct contact with water (shower, bath, hot tub, sweating) as well as beauty products such as perfume.

To clean, mix a few drops of gentle dish soap and water, and soak for about a minute. Use a soft cloth to gently rub it clean. Ensure you rinse & dry thoroughly.

To clean the mixed metal spacer beads, cover the beads in ketchup (yes!), let sit for a minute, then rinse thoroughly and wipe clean with a soft toothbrush or cloth. You can also clean with mild soap and water, but this may require more patience & a bit more scrubbing. Dry thoroughly.
