Amber & Jet High Priestess Necklace ~ 01
$395.00
This stunning necklace is handcrafted from genuine sterling silver, natural honey amber, and Whitby Jet beads. Each necklace in the High Priestess range is unique; although similar, none are the same. The design draws inspiration from early 20th-century Wiccan high priestess ritual jewellery, where amber and jet symbolised the balance of solar and lunar, light and dark, and masculine and feminine polarities. Historically, amber was worn for protection against negative forces and, in contemporary Wiccan practices, is believed to ward off negative energy, evil spirits, and misfortune. Jet was also regarded as protective and held sacred status in the worship of the Goddess Cybele, the Great Mother. In modern Wicca, jet is used for protection, shielding against psychic attacks, and warding off the evil eye. By uniting these two ancient stones, this necklace becomes more than an adornment—it is a wearable amulet believed to offer balanced protection, helping shield the wearer from negative energies, misfortune, evil spirits, and psychic attacks.
