Relic Necklace - Sól - 10k Gold

The Relic Necklaces: inspired by ancient bead strands. This one features teeny tiny, deep blue, high grade lapis lazuli cylinder beads and a shield/half moon shaped pendant in solid gold with a ruby. I hand fabricated the pendant using reclaimed 10 karat yellow gold that I melted down and forged myself, using material from a vintage department store bracelet. I set it with a hot pink ruby that I also reclaimed from the same bracelet. I added gold grains along the border and a rectangular wire detail at the top, and finished the piece with hand-engraved sunburst details. 

Finished with a hand-forged bale and clasp. I designed the bale to be large enough to slide on and off the lapis necklace, as well as most chains, to give you some added versatility. All natural gemstones. Measures approx 16.25 inches from end to end. Brushed, satin finish for an old world feel. If you need an extender to make this necklace a little longer feel free to reach out! Happy to make that happen for you. If you'd rather have the Sól pendant on a chain that is also possible! I have 10 karat yellow gold paperclip chain and long and short cable chains on hand, just drop a line to inquire about pricing. I can be reached by email: alex@northstarjewelryco.com.

Sól is the Norse goddess of the sun.

All handcrafted using traditional metalsmithing techniques, with my own two hands and a lot of heart and soul. Each North Star order comes lovingly packaged and ready for gift-giving. If you have any questions about this piece or my work in general, please don't hesitate to contact me at alex@northstarjewelryco.com.
