This gorgeous, rich pendant was made with a huge, deep, forest-green vivianite crystal, woven in solid Sterling silver wire with three sparkling Herkimer diamonds, set in stacked Sterling silver bead caps. The wire was oxidized, then hand-polished to an aged finish. The pendant comes suspended on your choice of chain and measures 76x29x22mm (3.0" x 1.1" x 0.9"). Vivianite is often called "the corpse crystal" because it tends to be found in association with decaying organic matter. This is a one-of-a-kind item and there won't ever be another like it.
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 piece 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.
*Comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, filled in and signed by the artist; photo of the piece and materials are listed on the reverse side of the card.
**Coins are shown for scale and will not be included with the jewelry.
