This beautiful, wire-wrapped pendant is composed of a polished rainbow moonstone cabochon, lovingly cradled in solid Sterling silver, woven, coiled and draped elaborately across the edges of the stone with sparkling Herkimer diamonds cascading down silver coils and set in Sterling silver bead caps. The moonstone has a bright, silver-blue glow with shades of green, yellow and orange as the pendant turns in the light. The wire was oxidized to bring out the texture of the weave, then hand-polished to a glossy luster. This pendant measures 46x31x21mm (1.8" x 1.2" x 0.8") and comes suspended on your choice of chain. Rugged, organic and rich, this pendant truly reflects the raw beauty of nature's finest treasures. Gorgeous!
Herkimer diamonds are double-terminated quartz crystal from exposed outcrops of dolostone in/around Herkimer County, NY and Mohawk River Valley. Crystals originating in NY are known for their extreme clarity.
This pendant comes in a luxurious, black velvet jeweler's box, contained in a cardboard outer shell (so you can wrap the box without damaging the velvet); perfect for gift-giving. This is an heirloom-quality piece you can treasure for many years to come.
*Coins are shown for scale and will not be included with the jewelry.
