The Aroha necklace ~ Freshwater Pearl

The Aroha necklace: love worn close to the manawa/heart. This necklace is your daily anchor for intentional living. Personalise your necklace with your chosen natural stone and initial charm to create a powerful talisman unique to you or a loved one. 

Intentions and Affirmation

The Pearl is resilience made visible. Born from a tiny irritant, it reminds us that life's challenges can be transformed with grace into lasting wisdom. Pearl intentions include:

• Wisdom & Connection: To cultivate a connection to self, allowing you to trust the guidance of your inner wisdom and the divine feminine. "I am centered in my being. I listen to my intuition and embrace the loving guidance of the divine feminine."
• Healing & Balance: To promote inner healing and emotional stability, allowing you to navigate turbulent periods with peaceful strength. "I am stable, healed, and whole. I move through turbulent times with peace and unwavering grace."
• Truth & New Beginnings: To embrace new beginnings with a sense of purity and optimism. "I step into this new chapter with an open heart, pure intention, and unwavering optimism."

Wear your Aroha necklace in freshwater pearl, take a deep breath and repeat your chosen affirmation 3-5 times to set your intention for the day for a fresh start guided by your inner wisdom.

Description:

• Natural freshwater pearls.
• 14k gold plated stainless steel findings and spacer beads. Please Note: The Freshwater Pearl Aroha Necklace uses only the natural pearls when the "No Initial" option is selected. This version does not include any small metal spacer beads between the pearls, as shown in the reference images above.
• 14k gold plated brass charms with electroplating for durability. 
  
• Length approx. 40.5cm (+/- 1cm) + 5cm extension chain. Because we use natural freshwater baroque pearls, no two are exactly alike. The unique size and shape of each pearl will cause slight variations in the final necklace length between individual pieces.

Jewellery Care

The Golden Rule: Last On, First Off

Your jewellery should be the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you take off at night. This prevents chemical exposure from personal care products.

Avoid The Big Three

To maximise the life and shine of your plated charms, keep them away from these three primary causes of tarnishing:

1. Water: Always remove your necklace before showering, swimming (especially in salt or chlorine water), or intense exercise.
   
2. Chemicals: Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray, hand sanitisers, and household cleaners. Apply these products and allow them to dry fully before putting on your necklace.
   
3. Humidity: Store your jewellery away from high-humidity areas like bathrooms.

Cleaning & Storage

• Cleaning: Gently wipe your charm with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove body oils and dirt. Do not use liquid jewellery cleaners or chemical polishes, as these will strip the plating.
  
• Storage: Store your necklace in a cool, dry, dark place. The best place is often a jewellery box or the original pouch provided to protect it from dust and humidity.
