Ionic Charm Necklace
This Charm Necklace is cluttered with warm earthy tones give ancient archaeological treasure feels. It features my hand-sculpted Ionic Column Amulet & a clutter of 18 reclaimed & recycled gemstones from faraway lands & seas.
Details:
Necklace Length: 18 inches - clip it securely onto another link to wear it shorter.
22 recycled gemstones: carnelian agate, pearl, jade, amber, vintage Tasmanian mariners shell, garnet, fire opal, mother of pearl, turquoise, malachite, vintage coral, unakite, labradorite, agate & faux coral.
CHOOSE YOUR CHARM: You can select the central amulet when you add this into the cart or you can stick with the hand-carved Ionic Column I’ve selected.
I hand-carved this little column from jewellers wax and tiny tools and then I had it cast into raw golden brass.
The chain & all of the metal details are made from 14ct Filled Gold - a thick layer of gold is pressure bonded onto base metal. Filled gold is a more durable alternative to gold plate or vermeil.
This design is repeatable. I have enough of these recycled gemstones & castings to make a very small limited edition stash of them.
They will vary ever so slightly due to the organic nature of the gemstones. I will match the colour palette & as many stones as possible.
Please allow me up to 2 weeks to make this before I wrap & post it out. It’s just a Roo in the studio.
Care:
If you've chosen a piece that has a mix of cast brass amulets on a gold filled or gold-rolled chain, you'll need to treat these elements differently when caring for your jewels.
You'll receive a small white polishing pad with your order to be used on the brass amulets. Please refrain from using this pad on the chain, it’s quite abrasive & is only meant for your brass.
The gold on the chain is pressure bonded onto base metal, rather than just electroplated on the top. This gold bond is much thicker than plating, and the 14ct gold of this chain makes up 5% of the total piece. You shouldn’t need to polish your chain.
Don’t wear your charm piece in water & store it dry. Avoid getting any cosmetics, perfumes & chemicals on your treasure to prolong the life of the gold & to keep your gemstones at their best.
