A Bit of Heaven
Handmade Pendant / Slide for Necklaces

A Bit of Heaven is a delightful pendant / slide that I handcrafted from a polished celestite stone and Anti-tarnish Argentium .925 Sterling Silver and .999 fine silver.

Celestite isa soft stone, as evidenced by the small marks on its surface. Because celestite is soft, I have designed the setting for the stone to keep the stone from coming in contact with things that would scratch it as much as possible. To protect the stone, the pendant needs to be polished by hand. To keep the pendant from needing polishing often, I've made it out of metals that are very tarnish-resistant.

This pendant is approximately 1.3 " (33.4 mm) long including bail which will accommodate chains up to approximately 9 mm in size. To wear it as a necklace or brooch, you can use it with your favorite chain or add an inexpensive accessory to make it a very versatile piece of jewelry.

In alignment with the mystical lore associated with the stone, I crafted this piece with the prayer and intent that the wearer be blessed with reduction of fear, worry and anxiety.
