This style of necklace is a favorite for women that prefer a choker type necklace that hides natural imperfections in the neck. This necklace was handcrafted in Tucson, Az, USA. The stones are Amazonite with sterling silver beads and clasp. Amazonite, often referred to as the Stone of Courage and the Stone of Truth, empowers one to search the self and discover one's own truths and integrity, and to move beyond fear of judgment or confrontation.
