CHRYSSA Ruby Emerald Necklace Inspo Ancient Greco-Roman Jewelry
Inspired by ethereal luster of the jewelry found in the ancient Greco-Roman galleries of my favorite haunt, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I prefer raw rough rocks that radiate their own unique personalities rather than the pristine polished ones. I've included images of exceptional museum quality ruby, emerald, and gold specimens from my recent visit to the renovated Hall of Gems in the American Museum of Natural History in NYC. You can see how the fine specimen that we use at Alexandria Black are compatible in both color and dimension.

The Alexandria Black CHRYSSA necklace is made with raw ruby, (a whopping 85-95 carats) & 14K Gold (14/20). The rare matrix and colors of these chunky, lightly cut and polished, stones are incredibly beautiful. Ruby is a talisman for a Pisces, great healer for all, esp. Leo, Scorpio, Cancer & Sag. Benefits: 4th Chakra-heart, brings fire 🔥 & energy into ones life. Sparks self-encouragement, motivation, and positive energy. Expands the creative mind & awareness to manifestation. I made myself one and refuse to take it off (except to sleep & shower). These stones enhance motivation, clarity. I can only make a few of these beauties.
DETAILS:
The Chryssa is 17.5 inches in length
85-95 karats of ruby per necklace, nine ruby nuggets approximately depending on the size & weight/carats
16 stunning, green emeralds app. 4mm in size. These emeralds are the most stunning color they almost look as if they are glowing.

Drapes in a sensuous way onto the neck. Great for men also (very sexy)! My husband LOVES his, extremely durable, comfortable, and versatile.
The stones form a unique partnership, carefully selected for their individual shapes and harmonious balance. Each gem remains in its raw, natural state, meticulously hand-cut and polished to preserve the mineral's authenticity. The fusion of these meticulous details results in a distinctive collection.
Please be aware that minor flaws or imperfections may be present in these handmade elements. The inclusions found in the natural, raw crystal gems are treasures bestowed by Mother Nature herself! As time progresses, the designs may develop a patina, evolving alongside your natural body oils and fragrances—an inherent aspect of their beauty.

Kindly review all Alexandria Black policies before making your purchase.
Each design is accompanied by a digital checklist, known as the Self-Love Toolkit (SLTK), which includes historical context, scientific details, and the rumored metaphysical healing qualities associated with the precious metals, gems, and crystals used in your piece.
All our smaller accessory and jewelry items are securely shipped within the Alexandria Black keepsake storage satchel. This petite satchel is crafted from inimitable 100% repurposed materials, and authenticated with a 14K 14/20 gold filled or sterling silver tag. This distinctive pouch serves as a protective shield, guarding the sensitive minerals comprising my creations from potentially damaging heat and light. For optimal care, please store your items in the satchel or in a cool, dark location.
The current satchel is a blend of antique Metropolitan Opera programs or technical design drawings, antique Indian saris, repurposed past-season interior design fabric swatches, and vibrant transparent lighting gels.
As a lover of fragrance and natural oils from flowers and plants, I take pleasure in sharing my seasonal aromatherapy blend with you as a special gift.
The foundation of my creative endeavors is rooted in an ethnological admiration for diverse cultures. My design sensibility draws inspiration from the primitive allure of tribal jewelry and artifacts, encompassing elements such as tiles, pottery, textiles, garments, and the rich spectrum of colors embedded in them. Intricate details found in ancient weaponry and armor captivate me, fortifying my connection to history across various genres.
The global tapestry of flavors and herbs from different lifestyles serves as an endless wellspring of stimulation for my creative process. Each day, I am fueled by the influences of family, music, architecture, nature, and the intricate ecosystems that surround us.
A cherished pastime involves visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, a tradition shared with my incredible son. Witnessing his growing appreciation for the museum experience brings us closer together.
Thank you for allowing me to share my creative journey with you!

This necklace is carefully crafted with large, ornamental, incongruent-shaped pieces juxtaposed against the small, geometric color-filled ones. The combination creates a beautiful balance as it lays naturally on your neck. The design beams with incredibly vibrant gems, some shiny and polished and others old, weathered and rutty from time.
The crystals are bathed in rich jeweled tones from the earth. I've incorporated the seductively hued stones with beads, charms and metals of the finest variety.
Please note minor flaws or imperfections may appear within these handcrafted components. Inclusions within the natural, raw crystal gems are gifts from Mother Nature! I typically cut and polish my stones minimally to persevere the integrity of nature, beauty, and energy of the stone. Over time the designs will patina and transform with your natural body oils and perfumes. It's one aspect of their inherent beauty!
The CHRYSSA is a power piece filled with many healing stones; hand-crafted, fair trade beads and gems sourced from places around the world.
My pieces are designed from my inspiration of everyday life, art, fashion, architecture, antiquities, nature, people and world events. Made with astute attention to detail, love and healing intentions.
Precious stone designs are accompanied by an identifying list containing the scientific and "rumored" metaphysical energetic ‘healing qualities’ contained within all of the gems in your piece.
