The stone of the sea! Perfect for mermaids, sailors, sea lovers and anyone who loves the ocean, these dainty handcrafted boho-style contemporary pendants are made from solid sterling silver using traditional metalsmithing techniques, and each features a gorgeous rose-cut Aquamarine gemstone.

Each stone has been securely set in a custom made setting using silver castellated gallery wire on a solid recycled silver backplate. They are natural Moss Aquamarines, and are a deeper blue-grey colour than other Aquamarines which are more greenish in tone. They are rose cut with a faceted top, and have a stunning sparkle that helps them glow as the light passes over them.

All four pendants have been oxidised for an antique vintage look, before being polished back to a higher shine. The reverse of each backplate has a plain finish and they are paired with an 18"/45cm sterling silver belcher chain, which fastens with a classic bolt clasp.

Sold individually, each of these necklaces is unique and 'one of a kind' - please select your exact choice from the menu. Details on the sizes of each one are given below, with measurements taken from the length and width of the backplate itself (not including the hanging loop).

The name 'Aquamarine' come from the Latin 'aqua marinus' meaning 'water of the sea' and refers to its beautiful ocean-like colour. This colour, consisting of varying shades of blue through to green, is caused by iron oxides within the makeup of the stones.

In ancient folklore Aquamarine was believed to be the treasure of mermaids and was used by sailors as a talisman of good luck, fearlessness and protection. It was also considered a stone of eternal youth and happiness.

Today it protects all who travel by, over or near water. It is also the traditional birthstone for the month of March.

Due to weight and value, this necklace will be carefully gift wrapped and presented in a ribbon-tied cardboard gift box. All items are sent in mailing boxes, mailing bags or padded envelopes as appropriate.

Shipping within the UK is already included via Royal Mail's ‘Tracked 24’ service (delivery estimate within 2-3 working days), with an optional upgrade to an express 'Special Delivery' service available at checkout for an additional charge (delivery estimate 1-2 working days).

I always aim to despatch all orders on the same or next working day that they are received, so any upgrade in postage chosen by a customer will be for the purposes of achieving higher priority within the Royal Mail system itself, rather than a faster processing time from me as a seller.

Please be aware that I am unable to guarantee specific delivery times of orders once posted but an estimate will be provided on checkout. This is a guide only.
