The wearing Wear your necklace during your bleed - starting a couple of days before you bleed - to honour the hardest stage of your cycle. When you wear your necklace, it is a reminder of your innate strength and power. It is a reminder to rest, reflect, and replenish by asking for and giving yourself the care and compassion you deserve. We recommend wearing our jewellery on your left side to align with our feminine energy. As always though, please do what feels aligned to you. The meaning The name Althea means ‘healer’ in Greek. This necklace has been designed to help heal the hurt caused by the loss of ceremony and ritual around our bleeds. To heal from the shame we have been conditioned to feel and the judgement our bodies have received. It’s time to heal from all that has been taken away. It’s time to restore our power and connect with our body and our cycle. The detailing The necklace has been designed so the red agate connects with your skin ensuring you benefit from its healing properties. The unique gem is held by an interwoven, golden chain symbolising our cyclical nature alongside the coming together and holding of one another as we collectively embrace our bleeds, honour our bodies and determine our power once more. The gemstone Each red agate gemstone is truly unique with no two stones exactly alike. This represents our individuality and our unique menstrual cycles. The earthy red symbolises our bleed and serves as a reminder of the power we hold within our cycles. The stone’s direct contact with your skin helps connect you to its grounding energy as red agate helps regulate emotional fluctuations and promotes a sense of calm. The stone is linked to the root chakra, which enhances feelings of security and balance, helping women stay grounded during times of hormonal change. Red agate is also associated with improved blood circulation and its ability to promote smooth blood flow may help alleviate discomfort from heavy or irregular periods. Please be aware that our jewellery range is made with natural gemstones with each stone being unique from another therefore there will be slight colour differences in your unique gemstone jewellery than what you might see in our photos. These slight variations in colour and texture enhance the distinct beauty and character of every piece.
