Galadriel's Tear
Handmade Fantasy Necklace

Galadriel was the Elf Queen of Lorien in the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkein. I created this necklace with her in mind, her goodness, her exoticness.

I made Galadriels Tear with .925 sterling silver creating a swirling fantasy setting for a gorgeous high dome clear quartz teardrop cabochon from Brazil, clear quartz, aquamarine, and sterling silver beads. The chain is premade. However, I made the sturdy toggle clasp by hand, finishing off the piece for a elvin, handmade look.

This necklace is approximately 19" (48.2 cm) long and the incorporated setting/pendant is approximately 3.3" (84.8mm) tall and 2.5" (64mm) wide. If you like I can be commissioned to make a coordinating pair of earrings or bracelet to go with this piece.

In alignment with the mystical lore associated with the stones, I crafted this piece with the prayer and intent that the wearer be blessed with power and energy.
