Joie de Vivre jewelry

This 18" gemstone necklace features icy blue zircon chips in a natural 1" wood bezel, hanging from a double strand chain of apatite gemstone beads with sterling silver wire. Blue zircon is a natural gemstone that can sometimes rival diamond in sparkle when cut. These transparent mini chips are uncut and untreated (natural color). Apatite gemstones can be brilliantly colored, like the clear blue beads in this necklace, but they are softer gemstones because of their calcium phosphate structure. "thin ice" is subtly stamped in the wood, which could be a state of mind or warning sign, depending on the outlook. It could be a sign that the wearer is feeling fragile, or it could be a warning that the wearer is out of patience and those around are on thin ice! Sterling silver hook and eye clasp.

Cost: $74.00 USD

Length: necklace - 18"

Materials:

  • natural Japanese pagoda wood pendant
  • blue zircon gemstone chips
  • sterling silver components and hook & eye clasp
  • apatite gemstone beads with sterling silver wire chain

Care & cleaning: Clean with a warm soapy water and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean tarnish appearing on metal.

The necklace itself should be robust to tugs and pulls, but the materials in this necklace are softer, so the recommendation is to keep it away from inquistive hands and hard impacts. As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
