Turqoise Drop Necklace

This drop-shape gemstone necklace really makes a statement! 

The drops shape is 20mm x 15mm and have a 6mm -8mm gemstone set in copper in the centre. The chain (Included) is a delicate anchor link chain that extends from 40cm to 50cm. It has an S hook clasp. The chain is solid copper with a rose gold plating to preserve the finish.

The gemstones we use are raw and unpolished, so they might have some” imperfections”. (In our opinion it adds to the beauty and individuality of each piece!) 

All jewellery comes beautifully packaged in a jewellery box and relevant gemstone card, ready for gifting.

Jewellery pieces are created by a process called copper electroforming, which allows for the deposition of copper electrolytes over several hours in a copper/acid solution. This results in unique and unpredictable textures, as the entire process is organic.

Please be aware that the colour of copper darkens over time, and the item can be cleaned using a sachet of Copperbrite and a soft cloth. (Available here) Copper can potentially turn the skin green as it reacts with the chemicals in some skins. A coat of clear nail polish will prevent this.

About Turquoise:

The vibrant appearance of pure turquoise is so aesthetically pleasing, that it has been ordained an official colour in itself! It has been valued as an ornamental stone for thousands of years owing to its colour. It is said that the name relates to the fact that it was brought to Europe by the Turks.

Known as the sky stone by Tibetan and Nepalese people, turquoise has been held sacred by people in the Himalayas for thousands of years. Children in Tibet are often gifted this gemstone in their early years to keep them safe in their journey through life.
