Times Square (S$60/US$36.40)

Continuing the New York theme is this creation which reflects the hustle and bustle and rich diversity of Times Square.

This 36-inch necklace can be worn a variety of ways, depending on your mood and outfit. There is no clasp, so you'll need to loop it around your neck a couple of times. It features Dalmation Jasper chips, deep red Sponge Coral beads and a carved Sponge Coral pendant centrepiece.


The bead spacers which flank the pendant were bought on this recent trip :-)

* Metaphysical Properties of Jasper: Jasper was another favourite stone of the ancients and it comes in a constellation of varieties! Jasper is said to drive away negativity and give the user courage to be true to oneself in thought, word and deed.

* Metaphysical properties of Coral: Coral is said to be a stress-buster and is also believed to bring calm to the user. Some people believe that coral helps restore harmony too.
