These necklaces are made from simple tanzanite gemstones. Some are smooth, some are faceted. Some have a high, bold dome, others are smooth and flat like a stone. Some are freeform, others are calibrated. Some are tiny, others are real big showstoppers. 

I have made these necklaces on chains that are shorter than my usual chains, designed to be worn high or layered with other longer necklaces.

Given a high polish to accent the sparkle of the stone, so that it looks like it was plucked from sun dappled water.  

☀ Pendant measures about 16mm from top to bottom. 
☀ Suspended from a delicate whisper chain, adjustable from 15" - 18".
(The two larger tanzanite necklaces are suspended from thicker chains.) 

☀ Keep in mind that these tanzanites have an icy, crackly depth to them, which means that some have some surface fissures, pits, and crackles where the inner textures touch the surface. These stones are very organic and natural.

♥ Made in my work studio using time-consuming, age-old metalsmithing techniques. This piece is made with solid craftsmanship and all parts of this piece have been hand-fabricated.

♥ All of the pieces in my collections are handmade and hand-finished, and make use of natural and recycled materials. All items will have slight, natural imperfections rendering each piece unique. It is these variations and imperfections which denote their handcrafted nature and individual character, specially made for every wearer.

♥ To create my antiqued pieces, the sterling silver is oxidize until dark gray. Oxidation is a process that happens over time naturally to sterling silver. Then the piece is brushed and polished until the highlights are lighter and the lowlights are darkened. But this oxidization is not permanent, and will fade in the areas that rub, and stay dark in the recesses. The patina will change over time, making your piece unique to you, and growing more beautiful with wear.
