Bio

Representing patience, relaxation and enjoying the little things in life, this one-of-a-kind Daniela Villegas necklace has a dramatic, statement-making style. The large, domed purple jasper makes up the body of the sloth, while 18K pink gold arms and legs dangle freely. A smiling, 18K rose gold face is placed at the center of the purple jasper and shows the sloths round, diamond eyes surrounded by tiny burgundy sapphires. The style-defining composition hangs from the 18K rose gold and burgundy sapphire bale along the polished 18K rose gold wire chain. Validus comes from the Latin word 'Valeo' which means "I am strong, I am healthy and I am worthy".
