This handcrafted pendant is a piece from The Garden of Hesperides collection, inspired by a magical twilight grove in Greek Mythology. This sanctuary is filled with rare orchids in purple, violet, dark pink and white. It holds the golden apples of immortality that hang from a silver tree at its centre, guarded by the Hesperides, nymphs of the evening. The gems for this collection were chosen to represent the mystical orchids in this dreamlike place. Celestial accents and orchid flowers in silver adorn many pieces to symbolise the twilight sky above and the beautiful growth below. The apples of eternal life are paid tribute to by golden spheres crafted from recycled brass, bringing together a collection deep with magic and meaning.
This pendant brings the story to life through four spellbinding stones — a luminous violet Tanzanite that shimmers with every movement, like twilight captured in gemstone form, and two purple Amethysts that glow like a sky draped in dusk. As with all my work, it is entirely one of a kind, handcrafted from recycled precious metals and created using cruelty-free practices, ethically sourced crystals, and environmentally conscious methods.

💎 MOONSTONE LORE:
Moonstone has been cherished in jewellery for thousands of years. The ancient Romans believed it was formed from solidified moonlight, while in India, it has long been considered sacred — especially for lovers — and is still given as a traditional wedding gift. Used for centuries across the Orient, Moonstone was also adored during the Art Nouveau era, prized by jewellers for its ethereal glow. In European folklore, it was believed to reconcile estranged lovers and soothe restless sleep.
Known as The Traveller’s Stone, Moonstone has been worn for protection, particularly at night or while journeying over water. Spiritually, it’s a crystal of new beginnings — supporting first love, fresh chapters, and emotional balance. Said to enhance intuition, creativity, and feminine energy, it’s also cherished as a powerful fertility stone and a gentle aid in nurturing confidence and inner calm.
💎 TANZANITE LORE:
Tanzanite is an exceptionally rare and captivating gemstone, found in only one place on Earth — the Merelani Hills at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. First discovered in 1967, its striking hues shift from lilac-blue to deep violet, depending on the light, making each stone feel like it holds a little magic. This pleochroic effect is part of what makes Tanzanite so enchanting and unique.
Often called the “Stone of Magic”, Tanzanite is believed to aid spiritual exploration and inner transformation. It’s also lovingly nicknamed the “workaholic’s stone”, as it encourages balance, calm, and clarity for those who are always on the go — helping to slow racing thoughts, enhance focus, and restore emotional harmony. Tanzanite is thought to ease stress, promote poise, and awaken one’s higher consciousness, making it a beautiful stone for those seeking both serenity and inspiration in their daily life.
💎 AMETHYST LORE
Once treasured as a “gem of fire,” Amethyst was held in the highest regard by ancient civilizations — so highly, in fact, that it was valued as dearly as Diamonds. Its rich purple hue was thought to embody divine power, worn by royalty, warriors, and high priests alike as a symbol of protection, clarity, and spiritual insight.
Today, Amethyst is the birthstone for February and remains a cherished talisman of creativity, calm, and connection to the inner self. Long associated with the third eye and crown chakras, it is believed to inspire intuition, enhance artistic flow, and create space for peace and stillness within the heart. A stone for dreamers and seekers, it is often used to soothe anxiety, bring harmony to living spaces, and support healing for people, plants and animals alike. Whether worn for its beauty or its energetic properties, Amethyst continues to radiate its ancient, quiet power — a gemstone touched by starlight and spirit.
