Kusiqua necklace
Put the Kusiqua necklace on and you’ll see why its name means "happy". We have yet to find a single outfit it doesn’t complete, and can’t get over how beautifully the cast bronze bars move. You’ll love the long polished jasper stones and how the wire fringe catches the light as you walk (or dance!). If that's not happy-making, we don't know what is.

Bronze and sterling silver can tarnish over time. Both can be brought back to their original luster with a polishing cloth. We stabilized our stones to increase their hardness, but jasper should still be worn with proper care. Though commonly used in jewelry, these stones are not indestructible. If dropped, banged or forcefully rubbed up against a harder surface, the stone could become damaged (cracked or scratched). We recommend removing the jewelry when it makes most sense–e.g. don't do hardcore outdoor sports with your pieces on, don't wear them in a hot tub or submerged in water for a long period of time, put jewelry on after putting products in hair, etc. and you should be good to go!
