🌙The Navigator Amulet: Quartz & Labradorite Interchangeable Talisman

The Alchemist’s Compass. The Navigator Amulet is designed for the seeker who needs both clarity and protection. By pairing a light-amplifying Quartz point with a protective Labradorite moon, this piece acts as a beacon through the fog of the everyday.

Mineral Magic

• Clear Quartz: Chosen for its sharp, clean termination to amplify intention and clear the static of everyday life.

• Labradorite: The crescent moon accent flashes with “spectrolite” blues and greens, known as the stone of transformation and awakening one’s inner magic.

The Interchangeable Feature This piece features a specialized 16-inch leather cord. The sterling silver loop end unscrews, allowing the amulet to be slid off the cord. This gives you the freedom to wear the Navigator on its own, add more charms to the cord, or move the amulet to a different chain. It is a piece designed to evolve with your personal journey.

Elemental Copper: Renowned as an ancient conductor of elemental energy, copper has long been associated with Hermes, the mythical messenger of mental agility and focus. In studio tradition and metal lore, copper is prized for its ability to amplify intention, harmonize materials, and reflect a warm, timeless antique patina.

Artisan Care: Natural crystals and organic elements (such as real acorns, boxwood twigs, and sea shells) are delicate treasures of the earth and should be worn with gentle care.

The Electroforming Process: Each piece is created using electroforming – an intricate process of controlling an electrically charged bath to slowly deposit thin layers of pure copper onto a conductive surface. Deposited layer upon layer over 12 to 24 hours (with the total artisan process spanning several days!), this technique creates a durable, uniquely textured metal sculpture around each stone.

Understanding & Caring for Copper:
How to enjoy wearing it and making Copper your FAVORITE jewelry metal!!
Copper Characteristics:
Copper is a pure elemental metal, CU on the periodic table. Like sterling silver, copper naturally oxidizes and darkens when exposed to air, sunlight, humidity, cosmetics, or lotions. Oxidation happens even more quickly in the presence of sunlight, sweat, chlorine (swimming pools), chemicals and cosmetics.

Daily Wear Tip: To preserve your piece’s finish, remove jewelry before bathing, swimming, exercising, or applying lotions and perfumes. Keep your jewelry clean and dry.
If you prefer the “aged” look that oxidation naturally gives copper, we recommend cleaning your jewelry with a bit of mild dish soap in warm water. You can use a soft bristle brush when necessary.

Cleaning & Maintenance:

For an Aged/Vintage Patina: Clean gently with mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft bristle brush when needed.

For a Bright/Polished Look: Polish gently with a soft jewelry polishing cloth. *(Note: Avoid harsh chemical dips or vinegar solutions on pieces with delicate gemstones or hand-applied patinas).

Natural Skin Patina & Reaction: Much like copper roofs developing a green patina when exposed to environmental elements, pure copper can occasionally leave a harmless green mark on the skin when reacting with natural skin moisture, oils, or humidity. This surface mark is completely safe, natural, and easily washes off with soap and water.
