Pools of light have a long, prized history. The English had colonized both India and China. They recognized the craftsmanship in both countries and took Western designs to be made and imported back to England. At that time the culture was obsessed with metaphysics. Crystal ball reads and seances were common pastimes. (those crazy Brits) Someone had the bright idea of getting small crystal balls made for jewelry. TaDa.

They got their name because of the pool of light that sat next to the orb when the sunlight hit it. Like a hollo of light around your neck.

I made the shield on this necklace from an antique piece I found originating in India but were a British design. The brits had colonized India and China in the 1850s and on for decades. They recognized the amazing craftmanship available in both countries. As a result they took their western designs and had they made in both countries. I found 4 different designs made in 22 karat gold and was blown away but the quality. I copied the designs, all shields, and have used them sparingly. I made some earrings out of those original shields and listed them. They have served me well so it’s time to let them go!
