Glorious Dragonfly Medicine Necklace

Specially commissioned for Raven Makes Gallery in honor of water, Jovanna spent this spring's challenging months creating this and other wearable art pieces. With increasingly scarce and hard to source materials, she has crafted an amazing work.

Not simply jewelry, this necklace speaks to the belief that Dragonfly carries messages to the Spirit World, and indicates the purest water.  Created with paua and abalone shell, Druzy crystal, Green Kingman turquoise, and chrysoprase. Beads include chrysocolla, antique glass, abalone shell and chrysoprase, strung on sturdy Soft Flex beading wire.

• 22 inches in length
