DANCE WITH THE COSMOS
ONLY ONE AVAILABLE
Mary van der Aa is proud to present “Cosmos,” inspired from her legendary AGTA Spectrum Award Winning necklace, “Garanatus: From Rough to Cut.” “Garanatus” celebrates the remarkable beauty of crystals found deep within the Earth. These ethereal treasures, born from the very embrace of our planet, are said to have been created by the cosmos itself. Scientists and spiritual seekers alike recognize that the formation of crystals is a cosmic and celestial dance, where Earth's elements and cosmic energies intertwine to create these magnificent structures. The resulting jewelry pieces are not just accessories but veritable portals, connecting wearers with the energy and wisdom of the cosmos. It is a belief founded on the acknowledgment of the profound interconnectedness between our planet and the celestial entities that surround it. As we adorn ourselves with these celestial treasures, we remind ourselves of the seamless connection between our planet and the vast cosmos above. In each crystal, we find a tangible connection to the forces that shape our existence, encapsulating the essence of beauty, wonder, and cosmic harmony. Wearers who embrace these pieces invite the cosmic forces into their very being, a reflection of the harmony between the Earth and the outer universe.

BOTRYOIDAL GEM SILICA
Botryoidal gem silica is an extraordinarily rare and highly collectible form of gem silica, distinguished by its natural, grape-like surface formations and luminous blue-green color. Created when silica rich in copper minerals crystallizes in rounded, organic shapes, this material displays a soft glow and depth that feels almost otherworldly. Fine botryoidal specimens are exceptionally scarce, as most historic sources are no longer producing, and the material is rarely found in jewelry-grade quality. Each piece is entirely unique, valued by advanced collectors for both its geological rarity and sculptural beauty. When preserved and set in fine jewelry, botryoidal gem silica becomes a true connoisseur’s treasure—celebrated for its natural elegance, rarity, and unmistakable presence.
