About this Product
The focal point of the necklace is the large pendant, comprised of azurite, malachite, and pyrite stones. The pendant is complemented by the earthy tones of the porcelain and brass beads, adding layers of texture and visual interest to the piece. The knotted waxed cotton cord add versatility in the length.
Each stone that composes the pendant has its own unique properties:
Azurite: Known as a stone of inner vision and insight, azurite is believed to stimulate the third eye chakra, enhancing intuition and spiritual wisdom. It is associated with deep meditation and introspection, aiding in the exploration of one's inner self and subconscious mind. Azurite is also thought to promote clarity of thought and communication, making it an excellent stone for enhancing mental faculties and intellectual pursuits.
Malachite: With its vibrant green hues, malachite is often called the "stone of transformation." It is believed to facilitate personal growth and positive change, encouraging one to break free from old patterns and embrace new beginnings. Malachite is also associated with protection and healing, particularly in matters of the heart and emotional well-being. It is said to absorb negative energies and pollutants, promoting emotional balance and spiritual harmony.
Pyrite: Commonly known as "fool's gold," pyrite is a symbol of abundance, prosperity, and manifestation. It is believed to inspire confidence and ambition, empowering individuals to pursue their goals with determination and perseverance. Pyrite is also associated with vitality and energy, providing a boost of motivation and drive when needed. Additionally, it is said to have protective properties, shielding against negative influences and promoting a sense of grounding and stability.
This versatile, chic accessory is perfect for any outfit or occasion.

Meet the Maker
Hi, I'm Melissa, the designer and maker behind this one-woman show I call Mielo Abelo Designs. I began beading in March 2018. My mother was turning 70, and my sister decided to throw her a Diva Party, and I decided I was going to make her a funky, sparkly necklace on a whim. I had no idea that whim was going to turn into a passion! What I love about this craft is that there is always something new to learn, and I love to learn and experiment and stretch my own boundaries.
After starting with basic bead stringing, I have learned how to incorporate wire and sheet metal into my jewelry projects, including creating my own earring wires. My handcrafted original jewelry designs include necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, using mostly natural stone, glass, and metal. I am not a metal smith, but I flame color, paint, ink, stamp, emboss, and shape metal to create interesting additions to my designs. I am fascinated by the process and the results, and try to stretch my own limits with my current skill level using the tools I have available.
I carefully consider the components that I use, choosing only high quality copper, 14kt gold, and Argentium silver to create my earrings wires. Most often, I use stainless steel chain, but I also do use rhodium and silver and gold plated. I make most of my clasps using German style wire that is tarnish resistant.
My goal is to offer affordable one of a kind jewelry while using quality components with a focus on workmanship. I craft each piece with that goal in mind. My design process takes time, which is why my item listings are limited.
I am open to collaborating with you on custom pieces. Reach out to me if you have ideas. If you're interested in seeing previous work that is no longer available, please visit my website at https://mieloabelo.com/ or follow the links to my social media.
I'd love to make my jewelry your jewelry.

Other Notes
My jewelry is not made for children or pets. My jewelry is not edible or food safe. My jewelry is not designed for continuous wear and should be removed while sleeping, showering/bathing, or swimming.
The wire I use for wrapping is generally plated and tarnish resistant; however, I do use Argentium silver wire for earring wires, which while formulated to resist tarnish, it, like all real silver, may tarnish. I also use Argentium and sterling silver findings, such as jump rings. Silver jewelry does need occasional polishing to keep it looking shiny and bright. The good news is, just a few wipes with a polishing cloth is all that's needed, and I include one with orders. I do not recommend chemical cleaning solutions with gemstones.
