Description
Materials: Genuine Moonstone and Argentium Sterling Silver.
Argentium Sterling silver is a modern sterling silver alloy. It is a true Sterling silver and contains 92.5% silver just as all other Sterling Silvers do, however it has many advantages over normal Sterling Silver. Traditional Sterling is made with a 7.5% copper alloy to give it enough hardness to create jewelry with. Argentium Sterling Silver instead has an alloy of Germanium. This means that Argentium Sterling Silver is tarnish resistant (but not tarnish proof), is somewhat harder to scratch, and does not cause allergies in for most people that are sensitive to Sterling Silver. Many that suffer from allergy problems with traditional Sterling Silver find that they do not experience problems with Argentium Sterling Silver. Further, because Argentium Sterling Silver does not produce firescale, it does not require chemical treatments like traditional sterling silver does and therefore is far more environmentally friendly.
Stone quality/specs: High polish moonstone. Note that moonstone is a chatoyant (iridescent) stone. The colors are created by light refracting within layers in the stone, and so the colors you see depend on the viewing angle. Some stones only show color from some angles. Keep in mind that these photos are meant to try and show these colors! Some stones only show the colors as photoed above from certain viewing directions. This stone in particular is a sleepy stone with a little color from a few angles.
Description:
A lovely, larger oblong pendant. Partially opaque white with crystalline areas in this moonstone. There are small areas of electric blue flash but they are not super bright. A gentle, little crystal heart with a touch of fire if you take the time to look!
This is a smaller pendant.
Size: Please see above photo for dimensions. Pendant is pictured with a U.S. Dime for size reference. (Hint: if you are having a hard time picturing the size of this pendant, scale the above photo so that the dime is the size of a real dime on your screen. The pendant will then be at actual size.)
Note that all of my pendants are one of a kind! While I may make similar pieces in the future, no two will ever be exactly alike. All pendants are hand made, by hand and with simple tools. As with any hand-made artwork, there may be small imperfections. All photos are taken in natural lighting only. Due to the nature of this stone, it may appear different in artificial light. If you have any questions please do let me know.
