This Easter eggs dangle necklace is part of Lucky Olive’s ONE OF A KIND collection. The mini Easter eggs are made from upcycling 7 different shades of solid and metallic clay, creating a stunning and bold swirl effect. The palette reminds me of an impressive ō-yoroi (大鎧) I once saw at a museum, which translates to "great armour", worn by the Samurai class of feudal Japan. For the most part, ō-yoroi was a rich man's armour and not used by lower ranking Samurai; in fact, the heavy armour was mainly worn by high ranking Samurai cavalry. It boasted a beautiful arrangement of purple, red, black, brass and iron tones, much like these Easter eggs. The celestial sun charm and lavender quartz beads were chosen to symbolically harmonize with the meaning of the eggs (rebirth, renewal, healing).

The egg as a symbol of spring, fertility, new beginnings and life itself is ancient. Easter eggs are eggs that are decorated for the Christian holiday of Easter, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. This custom of the Easter egg can be traced to early Christians of Mesopotamia, and from there it spread into Eastern Europe, and then the rest of Europe. In particular, our Easter eggs are inspired by the Ukrainian pysanky. Pysanka painting was, and remains, a widely practiced form of decorative art in Ukraine. In earlier times, people believed in the magical powers of the Easter egg. It could protect one from evil, cure illnesses, and defend homes from lightning and fire. Such folk beliefs are mentioned in 12th-century Ukrainian documents.

Lavender quartz is actually a type of rose quartz that contains high levels of titanium or manganese, which results in its beautiful lilac pink hue. Lavender quartz is known for healing emotional, mental, and spiritual distress, and promotes calmness, stability, and inner strength. It assists in embracing change, shedding the old, and embracing the present and future with renewed strength.

May this one-of-a-kind Easter egg dangle necklace bring you plenty of wealth, abundance, peace and protection from negative energies.
