Clear Quartz Silver Pendant – Oval

It is always fun to try out a new designer and here we have a Clear Quartz Silver Pendant in an oval shape. The Brazilian Designer was passionate about her work. There is good clarity all over the crystal.

There are golden rutile needles, quirky inclusions, lovely mists and veils within the clear quartz. Clear quartz is often happy to sit with other crystals enhancing their energies.

Most people buy this with a thicker silver chain but it would look stunning on a black ribbon. The dimensions include jump ring and it is discount as it is not a perfect oval and has been with us a while.

This is our last large clear quartz silver pendant in smooth cabochon that we have – we will not restock silver jewellery.
