Emerald and Sterling Silver Pendant


This is another wow! piece. The Brazilian emerald (yes, honestly it is an emerald that has not been polished and facetted the way we are used to) is a marvellous reminder of the colours that nature provides. Its shape has been enhanced by a hand crafted (no power tools used, just a pair of hands and a pair of flat nosed pliers) steling silver setting, this form of setting is known as wire sculpture or wire wrapping. Check out the details on the back - you can see the stone is securely held in place by the sterling silver square wire.

Metaphysically it is held that Emeralds assist with maintaining strong and beautiful love, promoting marital bliss and harmony in the home. For those in the corporate world it is also held that emeralds assist with concentration and focus. In the middle ages, Green was held to be the colour of true love (as opposed to envy which it seems to be today!).

The pendant may be worn as such by threading a chain through the bail (as shown in the picture) but may also have a necklace enhancer that allows you to wear the pendant on your favourite pearl or bead necklace. Simply thread the enhancer through the bail and slip over the beads (adjust the width slightly if required).

This magnificent handmade silver wire jewelry pendant is about 45x23mm in size and is lovingly packaged in a beautiful black leatherette gift box complete with a silver plated display chain.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece and quite a unique piece of jewellery so act quickly! If you want to see this hanging round your neck click here for more details.
