The amethyst carries the design, and it is a violet quartz, transparent to cloudy, with the even colour strongest in the centre of each bead. The moonstone provides the counterweight, being a milky, semi-transparent stone with a soft moving sheen across the surface. Physically it is a hanging piece that sits at the collarbone. The piece belongs to Dolma Designs, a series using compassion and quiet courage as contemporary design themes. The mountain motif takes the form of a ridgeline silhouette. High ground recurs throughout this studio’s design language, and the profile is used here as a way of holding a landscape in mind rather than as a claim about where the piece was made.
A short account of the materials, taken in the order they matter to the design. Amethyst is a different case in wear: it wears well day to day, though the colour fades under prolonged strong sunlight. For the moonstone, the behaviour matters more than the finish: it is a moderately soft stone with visible internal cleavage, so it prefers careful handling. The silver-tone metal appears as a bright silver-coloured metal finish rather than solid silver. Against the skin, it keeps its tone with normal wear, and a plated surface can thin over years of daily contact.
The fit is set from the measurement you supply, so nothing is assumed. Tell us how you intend to wear it and we will point at the option that suits it. The contemplative theme is a wearer’s reminder; no effect is claimed for the material itself. Each selected piece has its own colour balance and marking, so treat the photograph as a close guide rather than an exact sample. We confirm the current piece, the finished dimensions and the lead time in writing before any payment.
Care
Store it out of direct sun and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid impact and chemicals, and store it separately from harder stones. Keep it away from water, perfume and abrasive cloths so the finish lasts longer. Water, perfume and cleaning products are the three things most likely to shorten its life. Keep it out of a damp room and separate from harder pieces, and the finish will hold far longer.
