The African Mask necklace is a captivating 3D design, set with 40 * 0.9-1mm natural emeralds, created as my personal interpretation of traditional African masks, which hold significant roles in various African rituals and ceremonies.
Cultural Interpretation and Respect
The African Mask Necklace is an artistic vision I created during a sculpting session, influenced by African music. Although this piece is inspired by African heritage, it reflects my personal creative vision rather than an in-depth cultural understanding of traditional masks. My intent is never to misappropriate or offend but to express creativity. I welcome open and respectful dialogue about this representation.
Spiritual Intention
As a spiritual jewelry maker, I infuse each piece I create with intention. For this necklace, the intention is to focus on how you navigate your personal growth, rather than the what. This means being mindful of how you relate to life experiences, no matter what they are.
I meditate during the final stages of creation, infusing the piece with love and positivity. If you’d like, I can place a specific intention in your necklace—simply fill out the form below, and I’ll incorporate it into the process.

Cleaning Your Silver Jewelry
Silver polishing cloths are quite inexpensive and last a long time. The cloth is appropriate for cleaning and polishing silver jewelry that is mild to moderately dirty.
Soiled silver jewelry looks dull and tarnishes over time.
Rubbing the jewelry gently with the silver polishing cloth allows you to clean it without scratching the metal.
If your silver jewelry is heavily soiled or tarnished, you can use aluminum foil and to rid it of the dark spots.
Simply place a square of aluminum foil in the bottom of a heavy bowl.
