Full Moon Neck Cuff | Pushmataaha

Sterling Silver & Lapis

Inspired by tribal adornment of bold symbolic chest pieces and neck pieces, two large full moon lapis lazuli stones resting on the collar bones are joined by a solid sterling silver wire that contours around the neck. The Full Moons honour the ‘evening star’ to which the native American Pawnee tribe worshipped and believed to be the ultimate decider of life.

Prevalent in ancient Egyptian jewellery, and a symbol of royalty and wisdom, lapis lazuli is characterised by its intense, midnight blue hue and shimmering golden flecks. A combination of three minerals, - lazurite, calcite and pyrite - lapis lazuli is in legend said to ‘have existed before time was born’. An ancient stone reminiscent of the night sky and shining stars, this parallel explains its spiritual importance in connecting the physical plane with the celestial kingdom. Enhancing wisdom, intuition and the growth of psychic abilities.
