Raw Black Tourmaline & Silver-Tone Necklace

The black tourmaline sets the tone: a dark, near-opaque stone with fine lengthwise striations along each bead. The silver-tone metal provides the counterweight, being a bright silver-coloured metal finish rather than solid silver. As a shape it is a hanging piece that sits at the collarbone. It belongs to Snowland Story, where landscape and stone are the starting point for the design.

Here is how each part of the piece behaves over time. Black Tourmaline needs a separate note: it is hard and stable in wear, but a rougher, unpolished surface shows handling more readily than a polished one. Silver-Tone Metal — a bright cool-toned metal finish, plated rather than solid silver. Day to day, the finish holds up well day to day, though a plated layer thins gradually where it rubs.

Sizing is confirmed from your own measurement rather than from a standard label. The photographs and the written summary carry the same detail, so nothing about the selected piece is left to assumption. Reflection and stillness are treated here as symbolic associations, and the meaning rests with the wearer. Because the stones are selected individually, small variations in colour depth and marking should be expected. We confirm the current piece, the finished dimensions and the lead time in writing before any payment.

Care

Wipe it with a soft dry cloth; a deliberately raw surface should not be polished. 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.
