Amethyst Lace .925 Argentium® Sterling Silver Pendant / Slide / Brooch Pin

Blessing for Spiritual Protection

This is a one-of-a-kind pendant / slide /brooch pin that I crafted by hand, using only simple hand tools. This piece can be worn as shown, as a brooch pin, or the pendant can be easily removed to be worn on your favorite chain.

Amethyst lace is natural amethyst layered with agates and quartzes that grows on the inside of geodes. You can see it on the sliced edge of even small geodes with amethyst. Occasionally, in very large geodes, this lacey stone is large enough to make a striking cabochon like this one.

Materials Used to Handcraft this pendant:
Amethyst Lace Cabochon;
.925 Sterling Silver wire.

Size: This pendant is approxiately 2.6" (66.3 mm) from the top of the bar pin to the bottom of the pendant. The bail will accommodate a chain of approximately 6 mm diameter.

In alignment with the mystical lore associated with the stones, I created this piece with prayer and intent that the Divine favor the wearer with the highest and best blessings of Spiritual Protection.
