Verdant Tangle Necklace

Lichen Collection -  In this necklace, the varied shapes and textures reflect the way lichen and moss gather in unexpected patterns along canyon stone—messy, natural, and quietly beautiful.  Gemstones of all shapes stand in for these organic forms, all hand wrapped in yellow gold wire and finished with a silver chain +++ Metals: Sterling silver and 14k gold filled Gemstones: Tourmaline, peridot, andalusite, labradorite, tsavorite, green garnet, and chrome diopside Dimensions: Middle section is a bit over 5" // Choose your base length.  Option to add a 2" extender that can be clasped on any part of the extender +++ LABRADORITE is a wonderful stone for self-awareness and diving within oneself.  Some feel like it can facilitate a deeper exploration of the magic inside yourself.  In the same vein, it can also protect or act as a shield against the negativities of this world +++ ABOUT 14k GOLD FILLED: *Gold filled is the next level and is an amazing, quality alternative to solid gold *It is actual layers of gold pressure bonded with other jeweler quality metals.  While gold plating can eventually wear off, gold filled is required by law to contain 5% gold (plated is more like .5%) and it’s therefore extremely uncommon to wear through gold filled *If you can wear gold jewelry without skin sensitivity, you can most likely wear gold filled! *During the mid to late Victorian period, gold filled jewelry was very common and was manufactured in large numbers. *For more in depth info, check out this BLOG POST!
