Grenadines Necklace (#025)

...you were given the strength to find what you need, floating through the cerulean waters of the Caribbean at a pace known by no one...

Inspired by a small chain of islands known as the Lesser Antilles, these exquisite coconut shell beads are carefully crafted, made with dark coconut shells inlaid with much lighter coconut shells to create a 3-dimensional effect, much like a banded snake. Snakes are symbolic for purposes of rebirth, fertility, & wisdom. Rather than run away, snakes are known to stand their ground & fight.

Coconut Shells  The coconut tree is often referred to as the “tree of heaven” due to its height & the beautiful environments in which it grows. Coconut palms have been cultivated for more than 3,000 years. The hard outer shell of the coconut is seen as a representation of ego. Breaking the coconut is symbolic of breaking one's ego, & letting go of pride & arrogance.
