GAIA SHIELD NECKLACE : Turquoise & Abalone Shell on Brown Leather

The GAIA SHIELD NECKLACE was inspired by the female form and designed to promote feelings of empowerment. The foundation of this wearable art piece is reclaimed leather - which is durable, soft and lightweight. While the careful arrangement of stones is what catches the eye, the “negative” space is just as essential. The adornment is divided into two smaller coordinating motifs, and their artful juxtaposition results in a single cohesive design.  DESIGN - Turquoise - Abalone Shell - Sodalite - Wood - Copper LEATHER Reclaimed Leather Color : Brown LEATHER CARE This wearable art piece is made with Genuine Reclaimed Leather, which helps Gilded Mane fulfill its mission of minimizing leather waste generated by domestic production of leather goods. Since the foundation of this piece is leather, it is durable and should last for years with proper care. Gilded Mane does not recommend exposing your accessory to rain, sweat or other liquids. Water not only has the potential to damage leather and suede, but may cause dark colors to bleed. As a reclaimed material, the method of how this material was dyed is unknown, and so Gilded Mane uses Jacquard Lumiere Metallic paint on the back, which is both lightfast and weather-resistant. In the event that a non-metallic portion of your leather jewelry should get wet, Gilded Mane recommends laying your piece flat to dry, away from light colored fabrics or other porous surfaces. Gilded Mane also recommends storing jewelry flat, away from dust and sunlight.  DIMENSIONS Shield Width at Center Front - 3  1/2" Shield Length (inner curve measurement) - 5  3/4" Chain Length - 10  3/8" * A chain extension can be provided upon request.
