This pendant necklace is built from Herkimer Diamond, Moonstone, Obsidian, Copper and Textile Cord. It belongs to Tsering Treasures, a series centred on warm metals, carved detail and mixed materials. It takes the form of a form that hangs from the collarbone, so the weight stays where you expect it during wear.
Material by material, here is what is in play: Herkimer Diamond — a small, doubly terminated quartz crystal with natural facets and internal clarity. In wear, the raw crystal form has edges that are best kept away from hard contact. Moonstone — a milky, semi-transparent stone with a soft moving sheen across the surface. In wear, it is a moderately soft stone with visible internal cleavage, so it prefers careful handling. Obsidian — a near-black volcanic glass with a deep, mirror-like surface. In wear, it takes a very high polish but is more brittle than crystalline stone, so it chips rather than scratches. Copper — warm reddish metal with a soft, low-glare surface. In wear, it darkens toward a brown patina with wear and skin contact, which some owners prefer and others polish back. Textile Cord — a tight woven cord with a matte, slightly fibrous surface. In wear, it stays soft against the skin and holds a knot well, but a daily-worn strand will fray where it rubs a clasp.
Worn on its own it reads as a single considered point of detail; worn in a layer it sits well above or below a finer chain. It is meant to be worn rather than kept aside, and the surfaces are chosen to change gradually with use.
Drop length decides how a pendant reads: shorter chains sit near the collarbone and longer ones hang toward the chest. These are natural materials, so small differences in colour and marking between pieces are normal rather than a fault. Availability, the final measurements and the preparation window are confirmed with you in writing before any payment is taken.
Care
Store it separately and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid impact and chemicals, and store it separately from harder stones. Avoid impact at edges and store it separately so the polished surface is not marked. Wipe it dry after wear and store it away from damp air; polish only with a copper-safe cloth if you want the original brightness. Keep it dry, avoid perfume and household chemicals, and replace the cord once the fibres begin to lift. Storing it apart from other pieces keeps the surface in the condition it arrived in.
