This big, beautiful pendant is composed of a large, sea-green, aragonite druzy, lovingly cradled in solid Sterling silver wire, woven, coiled and draped elaborately across the edges of the stone with sparkling Herkimer diamonds set in Sterling silver bead caps. The wire was oxidized to bring out the texture of the weave, then hand-polished to a glossy luster. This huge pendant measures 64x42x24mm (2.5" x 1.7" x 0.9") 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 (pointy at both ends) quartz crystal found in exposed outcrops of dolostone in and around Herkimer County, New York and the Mohawk River Valley. While such double-terminated crystals may also be found in other parts of the world, crystals originating in New York 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. This ships fully-insured and with international tracking, for your convenience and peace of mind.
