Dumortierite Waves Necklace, Brass, Dumortierite Necklace

I made this necklace using natural blue quartz i.e. dumortierite. I was very lucky to come across a high grade piece of this in rough many years ago. It's a stone I love to work with because of it's incredible blue color and depth that you get with the different shades of blue within it. I paired this large oval I cut with a brass crashing waves bezel. I added some texture to the back of this piece then removed most of it before polishing it so you see a ripple of texture when it's moved. I like that it keeps with the ocean/water theme I was going for. This is uncoated brass so it will tarnish over time. You can allow that if you wish to add extra depth to the piece or simply polish it up with a silver cloth as needed to keep it looking as it does now. The chain is gold colored stainless steel. If you'd prefer a leather cord I can substitute one just choose that option. This pendant is about 26 mm tall. The chain is about 20 inches in length.

In the global market we encourage you to shop local by supporting artists and small businesses who cut stones safely and ethically within the U.S.A. All of our stones and fordite are made by us, within our home, in Wisconsin.

Our stones are mirror polished and so there will be reflections in the pictures. We take pictures in direct bright light that simulates what your stone will look like in direct sunlight. Stones look very different in low or artificial light. If it's dark when you receive them you can use the flashlight feature on your smart phone to see what they will look like in daylight. If you are new to semi precious stones please understand that these stones are natural and were found or dug from the earth. These are not faceted altered or manmade stones you see in stores. Natural stones (especially agates) may have features that would be considered flaws in a faceted stone or manufactured stone. Natural stones can have internal fractures, natural holes or geode areas. If there are features we as professional lapidary artists feel may detract from a stone we do our best to describe them in the listing description and show them in the pictures.We charge based on size and quality of the stone as well as market factors. We don’t dabble in the art of stone cutting. Brain is a full time lapidary artist so if you buy from us you are buying a high quality stone made by an experienced professional artist. We are a legitimate small business licensed as an LLC in Wisconsin. Our business mission is to create happiness through our art.
