Modern, feminine blue-green amazonite pendant with gold leaf and sterling bail, 1"
This little window shaped gemstone is in one of those colors some people call blue, others green. The gold leaf brings out its blue side, like sunshine in the clear blue sky. I love its color and “feel”, and was so happy to find this unusual shape to work into a piece of my jewelry.
Amazonite is a gorgeous blue-green semi-translucent mineral prized for its beauty since the Ancient Egypt. In fact, a scarab ring and a number of other objects carved from green amazonite were found with the treasures of Tutankhamen, and some of the most holy Ancient Egyptian texts were carved on the slabs of amazonite. The legend has it that the Amazon women warriors adorned their shields and healed wounds with it.
Your choice of a gift-ready branded black jewelry box with a branded satin satchel, or a simple (but pretty) minimal envelope for cost conscious.
