These lovely contemporary pendants are each made from an oval of recycled solid sterling silver with a cut-out centre that has been imprinted with a unique geometric pattern and set with a stunning rose-cut Aquamarine gemstone.
The oval measures approximately 20mm by 21mm, and is 1mm thick. It has been patterned using a rolling mill to imprint the pattern on to the metal and oxidised with a darkening patina to add depth and highlight the detailing before being brought back to a soft brushed satin finish with a very subtle sheen.
The Aquamarine gemstone is 4mm in size and a truly beautiful shade of blue with a lovely rose-cut faceted finish which allows it to sparkle in the light. It has been set into a classic bezel setting with a gently serrated edge.
Each pendant is
paired with an 18"/45cm solid silver belcher chain which fastens with a classic bolt clasp. I do have alternative lengths and styles of chain available - please just a message before purchasing if you would prefer something different and I can let you know what I have available.
Although each of these necklaces has been handmade to the same design, they have been individually and uniquely patterned with the texture, making each one very subtly different from the rest. The exact necklace received may differ from the ones shown in the images here, but you are always welcome to get in touch should you wish to choose one from all of those I currently have in stock!
The name 'Aquamarine' come from the Latin 'aqua marinus' meaning 'water of the sea' and refers to its beautiful ocean-like colour. This colour, consisting of varying shades of blue through to green, is caused by iron oxides within the makeup of the stones.
In ancient folklore Aquamarine was believed to be the treasure of mermaids and was used by sailors as a talisman of good luck, fearlessness and protection. It was also considered a stone of eternal youth and happiness.
Today it protects all who travel by, over or near water. It is also the traditional birthstone for the month of March.
Your necklace will be carefully gift wrapped and presented in a ribbon-tied cardboard gift box. All items are sent in mailing boxes, mailing bags or padded envelopes as appropriate.
Shipping within the UK is already included via Royal Mail's ‘Tracked 24’ service (delivery estimate within 2-3 working days), with an optional upgrade to an express 'Special Delivery' service available at checkout for an additional charge (delivery estimate 1-2 working days).
I always aim to despatch all orders on the same or next working day that they are received, so any upgrade in postage chosen by a customer will be for the purposes of achieving higher priority within the Royal Mail system itself, rather than a faster processing time from me as a seller.
Please be aware that I am unable to guarantee specific delivery times of orders once posted but an estimate will be provided on checkout. This is a guide only.
This item already includes the gift packaging upgrade as standard, which is why the option to select it is not included on this listing.
In addition, if you wish the item to be sent direct to the recipient, then please make sure the mailing address is correct during the checkout process.
