Alice Van Cal Anima Sapphire necklace as part of new capsule collection

Alice van Cal has introduced its September edition of The Birthstone Collection, a reinvention of its new signature Anima necklace with a round central blue sapphire.

Every month of 2022 a new piece or capsule collection is to be launched featuring the birthstone of the month.

The 18K white gold lariat necklace features a Blue Sapphire at the centre. At the end of the drop chain sits a pendant set with 7 stones – Diamond, Aquamarine, Yellow Sapphire, Amethyst, Iolite and Blue Sapphire. The adjustable chain allows the necklace to be worn close to the throat or loose.

Alice Van Cal said: “Sapphire is a stone of wisdom and serenity. It promotes a peaceful state of mind in which we are able to perceive life’s deep truths without the interference of emotion or ego. Its deep blue colour is the colour of divine love and the foundation of all things.

“In Ancient Persia it was believed that the earth rested on a giant sapphire pedestal and its reflection gave the sky its glorious blue colour. Sapphire found in the earth were chips from the pedestal and a token of the original wisdom of creation.”
