Maruja Shell Bead Crystal

The Pendant on this iconic Sophie Joanne ring is hand-carved from crystal by an expert artisan, using an age-old, wood-carving technique. Crystal is known as one of the most powerful and healing stones. It energizes the physical, emotional, and energetic body.

The shape of the flower was inspired by the works of Maruja Mallo (1942), who is known for her exploration of femininity and nature, through surrealist and abstract paintings. 

This piece is handmade from 14-karat recycled gold in our Atelier in AmsterdamAll gemstones are natural and hand carved, therefore there may be a slight variation in color, shape, and weight of the product.

If this piece is not in stock, production lead time is roughly 3-5 weeks, however, if you require rush delivery please contact us at contact@sophiejoanne.com to inquire about in-stock inventory. This choker can also be made in white or rose gold, contact us for more information.

Material

Crystal
Crystal quartz, also known as rock crystal, is typically colorless and transparent, although it can appear milky or cloudy due to inclusions or impurities. They form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock; they can be found in many locations around the world. Like Brazil, The United States and Switzerland. It’s clear, glass-like appearance has led to its association with purity, light, and healing.

Ethically made

All our jewelry is handmade in our Amsterdam atelier. Most of our carvings are hand-carved in our atelier and in Germany. Above all else, we value our community most, our customers, the craftsmen that generously lend us their skill, and everyone else who is involved in this journey. We build lasting relationships, we act with kindness and respect, and value quality of life. All the craftsmen and artisans we work with are compensated fairly. 

 

We only work with people who align with our values of sourcing and crafting and make sure these ethics are lived throughout our supply chain. Where possible we produce locally, but we also highly value our craftsmen who work from a distance. They possess skills that are rare to find and are often tied to remote communities. We take pride in that our collaborations have a direct positive impact on them and their community.

Price transparency

When we first started our business, we aimed to be transparent about our jewelry pricing by providing a price breakdown for each piece. However, due to the constant fluctuations in gold and gemstone prices, it has become challenging to keep detailed cost breakdowns updated on our website.

 

As a small business with purpose in an industry that is hazy and foggy when it comes to its transparency, we want to lead by example and are committed to bringing transparency to the jewelry industry. If you're interested in receiving a full breakdown of our pricing and cost structure, we’d be happy to email you all the details. Please feel free to contact us at contact@sophiejoanne.com for more information.
