About this Product
Reconnect with your prehistoric roots with these tribal amulet-style necklaces. In ancient times, every good tribal leader and shaman had a protective amulet or talisman around their neck. Andrew designed this series around that same idea, using components that are less common in our designs here at Angelic Relics.
The first design features a brass rose pendant (symbolizing love, beauty, royalty, and secrecy) accompanied by wooden beads and tribal-style beads in metallic plastic on a brown cord.
The next amulet features an antique brass eagle (symbolizing strength, courage, freedom, & wisdom) with orange simulated bone beads (actually plastic) and black glass spacers on a black cord.
The third design has a red howlite drop accompanied by more orange "bone" beads, black glass and silvertone spacers, and coppery plastic spikes on an orange cord.
The next talisman has a silvertone feather (symbolizing truth, strength, speed, honor and much more) accented by tribal-style blue "bone" beads on a black cord.
The fifth design features a brass star pendant (symbolizing hope, guidance, energy, & freedom) with orange and white "bone" beads on a yellow cord.
The last amulet is a millefiori-style glass pendant on a unique red and orange cord. This cord boasts a unique clasp system: a white plastic bead that fits into one of 3 stretchy silicone links in the end chain. The rest all use a hook-and-loop clasp of Andrew's own design. Choose your favorite talisman and walk boldly in the world.
Angelic Relics
Meet the Maker
Beth Ann Borth, Owner & Lead Designer
My jewelry making journey started with making a “grandkids” birthstone necklace for my mom in ‘09. Then came angel birthstone necklaces for my sister and sisters-in-law. The odd bracelet here, a couple pairs of earrings there. In 2017 my younger son, Stephen, convinced me to try to make it a business. He jumped in making gemstone jewelry, and my older son, Andrew, followed weaving chainmail rings. And so Angelic Relics & Modern Treasures was born. The “relics” portion of our name comes from the fact we like to take broken jewelry, weird estate pieces, or things that were never meant to be jewelry, and turn them into unique new jewelry pieces. We had a good couple years run, but pandemic schedules and Andrew striking out on his own meant we had to shelve the business. Schedules have finally shifted back, so we redesigned our logo, dropped the last half of our name, and launched a new online store. Thanks for checking us out!
How it’s Made
Materials used: brass, wood, glass, plastic, howlite, cotton cord, silvertone & goldtone components.
What is howlite?
Howlite is a mineral that forms in irregular white lumps with a spiderweb of light gray or black veins. It's relatively soft and porous, which makes it an ideal material to carve and easy to dye. Howlite is most often dyed blue to resemble top-quality turquoise, but examples can be found dyed in every color imaginable. Natural howlite is sometimes sold as "white turquoise" or "white buffalo turquoise", but the two minerals are completely unrelated.
What is millefiori glass?
Millefiori, which means "thousand flowers" in Italian, is a glassblowing technique where individual rods of colored glass are fused together into a cane with a flower cross-section. These canes are then cooled, cut into discs, arranged in mosaic patters, and fused together again to create bouquets in glass.
