Oxalis Necklaces, Page TwoNeck-lace (nek’lis) n. {NECK+LACE,1} a string of beads, jewels, etc. or a fine chain of gold, silver, etc. worn around the neck. Oxalis Neck-lace (ak’selis)(nek’lis) n. a string of beads, jewels, etc. combining the natural beauty of precious and semi-precious gemstones with organic specimens replicated into fine silver, hand-patinated to reflect their most delicate and timeless features. Jewelart “Magic” Our ancestors believed their jewelry and its components held magical powers. Amulets and precious ornaments were often worn to ward off bad health or negative forces. Although our methods and craftsmanship are much more sophisticated today, our magical expectations have changed little. Today our reasons for wearing a dazzling necklace might have more to do with the visual legerdemain of causing a wrinkle to disappear. A strategically selected pendant may command the attention that might have been otherwise focused on an insignificant facial blemish or wrinkle.
