Sacred Elements Pumtek Necklace

• Every bead in this necklace tells a story. At its heart lies a rare, elongated Pumtek bead crafted from fossilized Opalized Wood and revered for its spiritual energy and protection.
• The word Pumtek means "buried thunderbolt," and these sacred beads are among the rarest and most sought-after collectible beads in the world. Sourced by our friend Joan from a trader in New York in the late '70s, these beads carry an extraordinary history.
• The design is a balance of texture, color, and meaning. The intricate arrangement of true Turquoise, Agate, vintage trade beads, and mixed metals creates a dynamic composition, ensuring that no two necklaces are exactly alike - each one is a singular expression of artistry, history, and mindful craftsmanship.

Originating from Burma, Pumtek beads are made of Opalized Wood - wood that has fossilized over time, transforming into stone. Traditionally worn for protection and spiritual strength, these beads are believed to hold the wisdom and energy of the ages, making them powerful amulets for transformation and resilience.

True Turquoise brings inner strength and protection, while Agate is a grounding stone that fosters stability. Rich in history, vintage trade beads represent connection and culture. The blend of sterling silver, bronze, and copper embodies transformation and the interconnectedness of energies.
