Women's Green Sage And Cream Serpentine Teardrop Pendant Necklace On Leather Cord

This serpentine pendant necklace holds a broad teardrop cabochon of natural serpentine, bezel-set in sterling silver with a plain rim. The stone is sage green through the field, with cream banding crossing the upper half where the alteration ran unevenly. A sterling silver bail carries it on a black leather cord with a lobster clasp and a two inch extender. The pendant measures about 1. 25 inches, one stone at the centre with nothing set beside it. Serpentine begins as mantle rock, and where seawater reaches it along a fault the olivine takes on water and turns green. The stone is natural, with no dyes and no synthetics, so each piece is one of a kind. The necklace is nickel-free and lead-free. Wear it on its own for a quiet line against a bare neckline or a soft knit. Keep the necklace dry and remove it before water, perfume, lotion or oils. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store it flat, apart from harder pieces, because serpentine is softer than quartz. Sterling silver darkens over time, so use a silver polishing cloth and keep it off the stone. Colour: green
