Fearless, intrepid, innovative and influential. The Maria pendant might not help you win a Nobel Peace prize, but we hope you’ll think of Maria Ressa every time you wear it. She’s frighteningly clever and unbelievably brave and we want to honour her with these stunning baguette-cut stones, worn close to the heart. There are so few who constantly dazzle in this way.

Purple Amethyst is an extremely powerful and protective stone with a high spiritual vibration. It guards against psychic attack, transmuting the energy into love. A natural tranquilliser, Amethyst blocks geopathic stress and negative environment energies. Its serenity enhances higher states of consciousness and meditation. Amethyst has strong healing and cleansing powers, and enhances spiritual awareness. Traditionally, it was worn to prevent drunkenness and has a sobering effect on overindulgence and physical passions, supporting sobriety. It overcomes addictions and blockages of all kinds. Used at another level, Amethyst opens to another reality.
