Gemma Chocker is a contemporary beaded necklace with a wonderful raised texture and sturdy structure that can reliably hold its circular shape. This version comes in subtle colors of linen gray and brushed steel (for an added sparkle) and is perfect for that day when you feel like making a statement. Shown next to Gemma Terna necklace for size reference.
Made by hand, one bead at a time, from the highest quality Japanese beads. Has a slide closure and fits comfortably around the collar bone. Last image shows the chocker next to a set of matching earrings, which can be found here.
Gemma Chocker is part of the GEMMATUM Collection and layers well with other pieces from the same collection and can also be paired with pieces from the PRINCIPIUM Collection.
To be who we truly are is akin to be adorned with the most precious of gems. The word GEMMATUM comes from the Latin “gemmatus” which means to be adorned with precious stones. In line with PORTOMEA values of inner wisdom, the real gems lie within the beauty of our own inner essence. So while we choose beautiful pieces to wear, they can only highlight what we already are — precious gems of creation. This collection introduces a textured raised central element to the already familiar shapes and forms, and it invites the wearer to attend to the very core of who they are, the value they bring to the world, the light of their uniqueness.
So much of what we do on a daily basis (and even go through in life on a bigger scale) can make us feel disconnected from our purpose and meaning. We may experience resistance and blocks that dull our sparkle and hide the brilliance of our own light. But when we know deeply that we are valuable and precious, then in the process of living with intention —we become aware of our authentic self. To be who we truly are is akin to be adorned with the most precious of gems.
Beadwork care is simple. Avoid exposing your PORTOMEA jewelry to water, and remove before bathing or swimming. Avoid friction, and remove beaded jewelry before physical activities or sleep. For storage, select dry containers away from light – the box it came with will serve well for that purpose. Avoid direct exposure to chemicals. Drops of perfume, hair spay, makeup particles, etc. can alter the color of the beads, and so it is recommended that jewelry is put on after those products are used. Click HERE for more information.
