Mary Szendrey studied to be a goldsmith in Switzerland and is well known in Vancouver BC. Her pieces have been featured at the Orpheum Theatre and also at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Although she is retired she is still creating jewelry and you will see more of her pieces for sale every month. This pendant was made with a gorgeous, sparkling pink sapphire set into a bezel.
The pearl is a cultured pearl from Japan. Laboratory-created gemstones go through the same process as natural gemstones. The only true difference is that the stone is grown in a lab rather than below the Earth's surface. Man-made sapphires are flawless and much less expensive than natural sapphires, and only a certified gemologist can tell the difference. Pink Sapphire brings the wisdom of resilience to one's life, teaching that true strength lies in the power of vulnerability.
Like a willow that yields to mighty winds and emerges stronger, Pink Sapphire assists the emotional body through the transitions of life, stimulating the emotions of love, forgiveness, acceptance, and letting go. This lovely crystal soothes the heart and aligns it with the mind, healing wounds of the past and encouraging compassion for others. It helps one develop the courage to be open again to relationships and to find joy in interacting with others.
