Love Beyond Time

Similar to the ring, this stunning .950 sterling silver necklace is a sentimental piece of jewelry that has been crafted to pay tribute to the Victoria Amazonica plant. It boasts a brilliant green hue, achieved using local inlaid technique, with a delicate garnet gemstone adorning the center of its design.

This necklace honors the love between the Moon God and the Indian Naiá. According to the tale, the Moon God was known for courting the most beautiful young Indian women and taking them away with him whenever he disappeared. Naiá, a beautiful young warrior, dreamed of the Moon God and eagerly awaited the call. Despite warnings from her fellow villagers that the Moon God's call would take her away from her human form, Naiá was in love and did not heed the warnings.

One night, when the moonlight was especially bright, Naiá saw the moon reflected in a lake and threw herself into the water, believing it was the Moon God who had come to bathe. When she realized her mistake and tried to retreat, she drowned. Moved by Naiá's love, the Moon God turned her into the unique star of the Victoria Amazonica plant, whose fragrant and white flowers open only at night. The plant offers its pink core to the moon's silver rays each night, as if to receive her beloved moonlight.

The Victoria Amazonica necklace holds immense cultural and personal significance for those who wear it. Not only does it celebrate the tale of love between the Moon God and Naiá, it also symbolizes the timelessness of deep affection. The garnet gemstone, with its ties to the heart and inner fire, represents the fiery passion that burns within us all. This tale of death and rebirth is embodied in the legend of the Victoria Amazonica plant. Just as Naiá was transformed into a star, the ring represents the idea that love can endure beyond death, continuing to shine on in a new and different form. The story reminds us that true love never dies, even in the face of tragedy.

By wearing this necklace, you can also tap into the energy and significance of this magical tale and be reminded to stay connected to the mysteries that transcend life. This pendant is the perfect choice for anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature, the rich history of indigenous tales, and the enduring power of love.
