This pendant features a rose cut serpentine stone complemented with a collection of silver monstera leaves. It comes ready to wear with a 50 cm long sterling silver chain.
This piece has been fabricated by hand, from silver sheet and fine silver bezel. The pendant has been given patina treatment to make the details pop.
It is a unique, one-off original piece - whilst I may create similar items, no two will be exactly the same, just like those wearing them.
Serpentine is believed to help establish control over one's life. According to metaphysical beliefs, serpentine provides a clearing of thought to better facilitate meditation. Serpentine is said to clear clouded areas of the chakras and stimulate the crown chakra, promoting spiritual understanding and psychic abilities.

To ensure your pieces retain their beauty and spark joy every time you wear them for years to come, they should be stored away from moisture and dust (zip-lock bags are perfect for this). Please avoid contact with perfumes, lotions etc. and refrain from wearing in shower or when swimming. Use soft, slightly damp cloth for cleaning, when necessary, then pat dry and store in a dry place, preferably out of direct sunlight. The delicate patina could be disturbed by intense rubbing and buffing so please treat your earrings gently. Please do not use any abrasives. You can use a jewellery polishing cloth to refresh the look but please avoid intense rubbing as it might disturb or completely remove the patina. Avoid using harsh cleaning treatments such as ultrasonic cleaners and steamers or chemicals. This stone is fairly hard and durable, but make sure it's stored in a bag or a pouch to protect it from scratches, or from scratching other jewellery. As the colour of some stones can fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight it is best to store it in a dark place. All my jewellery is made with the utmost care to last, but nonetheless it should be treated gently and with care - it is not indestructible.
