Women's Metallic Mixed Agate Beads & Safety Pin Necklace

It looks like a safety pin. It works like a dream. The clasp - solid sterling silver or 18k gold vermeil - is a tiny feat of engineering. A hinged mechanism that opens and closes with ease, no mirror required. The real story, though, is what it's holding together. A strand of 4mm multicolour agate bead- dusty rose, slate, ivory, moss, caramel -each one slightly different, the whole strand shifting like a mood ring you actually want to wear. Agate is that rare stone that looks both ancient and completely current. Safety Pin can be worn in front or back. Silver: Solid sterling silver safety pin clasp on multicolour agate strand Gold: 18k gold vermeil safety pin clasp on multicolour agate strand 4mm multicolour agate beads Available in 17 inch and 18 inch lengths Our goal is to make jewellery that is fun, meaningful, stylish and made of quality materials that will last. All of our earrings, rings, studs, and charms are cast in recycled sterling silver. Our gold is 18k gold vermeil (pronounced ver-may). Vermeil is a process of plating at least 2. 5 microns of gold over solid sterling silver. Our chains are all recycled sterling silver or gold filled and made in the USA. We assemble, package and ship all of our jewellery from our studio in Half Moon Bay, California. To avoid tarnishing, we recommend keeping your jewellery dry. That means avoiding contact with chlorine, soaps, lotions, perfumes, hand sanitizers, cosmetics or cleaning products. We recommend storing your pieces in a soft cloth, protected from other items in your jewellery box or tray to avoid scratching. To clean, simply dip a lint-free, soft cloth in a warm bath of mild soapy water and gently rub. After you have cleaned, simply dry with a lint-free, soft cloth. Colour: metallic
