taaseen necklace

The Taaseen necklace is a one of a kind statement piece. It is made with sustainable coral, amethyst, and a vintage coin for a traditional Chachal. The circumference of the inner necklace measures 20", and the outer is 22".  Amethyst was once used as one of the most precious stones used throughout much of the world, and was often thought to help purify the mind and detoxify body and spirit. The Chachal is of extreme significance to the heritage of the Mayan people and has evolved through the centuries. In pre-Colombian times within Mayan culture, the Chachal was worn by men and women as a way to portray status and wealth, as well as a reflection of one’s own connection to the divine. When the Spaniards arrived in what is now South America, amidst much conflict, assimilation of both cultures intertwined around each other and the cultural significance of the Chachal evolved.  The Chacales are made with low grade silver which will patina or can be easily polished. The heirloom collection
