The pendant isn't just a pendant—it's an exquisite piece of storytelling that marries diverse artistic genres. This heirloom piece synthesizes the stark brutality of industrial designs with the mesmerizing beauty of high-quality gemstones.

Central to this captivating narrative is a teardrop-shaped Blue Moonstone of exceptional quality. Known for its hypnotic interplay of light, this gem is a perfect complement to the pendant's rugged aesthetic. It's cradled in a unique claw setting, which defies traditional jewelry norms by featuring clusters of 3 to 4 hammer-textured prongs. These prongs are strategically positioned in four places around the crystal, offering both enhanced durability and aesthetic nuance.

Further enhancing the pendant's heirloom quality is its substantial backing. Crafted from generous amounts of sterling silver, this backing provides all the support the gemstone needs while its open design allows for skin contact—making your experience with this piece deeply personal.

The bail, accommodating enough for an 8mm chain, showcases yet another beautiful contradiction—a grade Larimar stone. This Larimar serves as an aquatic counterpoint to the Moonstone, like a serene ocean contrasting a turbulent sky. Suspended from a 2-5 mm wide flat halo that connects seamlessly to the gemstone's apex, the bail is an artwork in its own right.

The pendant's oxidized, sterling silver finish adds an old-world, worn-in character that speaks to its brutalist inspiration. However, for those inclined toward a shinier look, the oxidization will naturally wear off over time, revealing a gleaming silver luster beneath.

In this pendant, the worlds of ancient symbolism and contemporary design coalesce into a single, breathtaking piece. A testament to meticulous craftsmanship and artistic vision, this pendant is not just jewelry—it's a heritage, meant to be passed down through generations.

Peace and Clarity
Emotional Healing
Divine Feminine Energy

Associations:
Chakra: Throat, Third Eye
Zodiac Signs: Leo, Pisces
Planet: Venus, Neptune
Element: Water, Air
Vibration Numbers: 5, 9
Origin: Dominican Republic

Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Larimar is highly regarded for its tranquil vibes and the serene appearance that mimics the sea and sky. This stone is often used to enhance communication skills, particularly emotional expression. It also promotes peace, both internally and in one’s physical environment, and is excellent for phobia sufferers to use as a “worry stone.”

Healing Properties:
Physically, Larimar can ease stress-related illness like hypertension or fatigue. Emotionally, it’s used to dispel fears, and break down walls one has built around the heart for defense, thereby allowing one to speak openly from the heart.

Geological Properties:
Larimar is a rare blue variety of pectolite, found only in the Dominican Republic. Its distinct blue color is the result of copper substitution for calcium in the mineral structure. The stone has a Mohs hardness of 4.5 to 5, making it relatively soft and should be handled carefully to avoid scratches.

Geological Properties:
Blue Moonstone is composed primarily of orthoclase feldspar and albite, which combine to give it its unique adularescence—a glowing or billowy moving light effect when the stone is turned. It has a Mohs hardness of 6-6.5, making it relatively soft compared to other gemstones.
