Let's Explore a Few Of The Incredible Pieces That You Will Surely Appreciate

Oregon Mountain Pendant – A Symbol of the Pacific Northwest

If you love the wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest, then the Oregon Mountain Pendant will speak to your heart. The handcrafted pendant represents Oregon's breathtaking landscapes, particularly its mountainous territories. It is a creation from the State's heartland: Oregon. The Oregon Sunstone bezel is set on a striking Mokume Gane.

• What is Mokume Gane?

Mokume Gane is a traditional Japanese metalworking technique that translates to "wood grain" in English. Early Samurai swordsmiths traditionally applied this ancient art form to add the most intricate, layered designs to the blades of katana. This metalworking process requires the fusion of multiple layers of materials, including copper and silver, onto the Oregon Mountain Pendant through heat and pressure, creating unique patterns that resemble wood grain.

Oregon's official gemstone, Sunstone, is now beautifully combined in a one-of-a-kind pendant with the elegance of Mokume Gane. Warm golden tones of the Sunstone combine intriguingly with the shimmer of copper and silver, making for an excellent accessory for the outdoor enthusiast or someone who desires to wear a piece of Oregon's natural beauty.

Whether you are an Oregon resident or just love the great outdoors, the Oregon Mountain Pendant is a lovely statement. It is an excellent gift for someone who appreciates fine craftsmanship and natural gemstones.

Sunstone-Rose Gold Wire Wrap Pendant – The Elegance of Rose Gold and Sunstone

This Sunstone-Rose Gold Wire Wrap Pendant is just what you'll need to satisfy your desire for unique hand made jewelry. Containing an Oregon Sunstone in soft peach, it's beautifully wrapped in 14K Rose Gold Filled wire to create a pendant that shines with the spectacular Schiller effect created by Oregon Sunstones, which splashes with an iridescent copper shimmer as it catches the light with its fiery, almost magical appearance.

• Why Rose Gold?

Rose gold pendant necklace​ is a very romantic and timeless choice. A soft pinkish hue brings a lovely contrast to the natural warmth of the Oregon Sunstone, harmoniously matched in elegance. The organic beauty gained from the wire-wrapping technique brings a highly personal touch to the natural shape of the gemstone without having it fall off.

This pendant will surely fit into any jewelry collection, especially for those who cherish the fine craftsmanship of adornments and love to tell stories behind their jewelry. It is also versatile and suitable for casual and special occasions.

The Oregon Sunstone used here is about 1.50 carats and is mounted horizontally to make the uniqueness of the stone's copper shimmer the center of attention. Sold with a matching 16-inch chain, this pendant is perfect as a gift or a personal treat. 

 

Solid Gold Tree of Life Necklace – A Symbol of Strength and Growth

The Solid Gold Tree of Life Necklace is truly exceptional with deep and ancient meaning behind the theme. This beautiful pendant combines the Tree of Life's symbolic power with the Oregon Sunstone's warm glow.

• The Symbolism Behind the Tree of Life

It is one of the oldest symbols crossing cultures and spiritual traditions. It continues to bring that design toward the essence, as exemplified by the trunk representing strength, roots signifying love and family, and the leaves that symbolize growth and renewal as they reach the sky. The gold necklace for women is an exquisite piece of jewelry made out of gold. The necklace comes in 10K white, yellow, or rose gold.

The pendant features a bright peach-colored Oregon Sunstone that weighs approximately 0.50 carats. This makes the jewelry ideal for anyone looking for jewelry that will resonate on an emotional and spiritual level. It makes perfect jewelry as either a gift or a personal statement, reminding the wearer of roots, growth, and the strength to face the day's challenges.

The pendant is roughly the size of a quarter, measuring 22mm in diameter, but the optional 18-inch box chain accompanies it well in size and weight. The necklace will add class and meaning to any white, yellow, or rose gold outfit.

Valentine Heart Necklace – A Symbol of Love with Oregon Sunstone

Nothing says love quite like a heart-shaped pendant, and The Sunstone Store has a very fine way of expressing it with their Valentine Heart Necklace. This pendant is mounted in solid sterling silver and sets a bright orange Oregon Sunstone (approx. 0.45 carats) in the cleft of a delicate heart design.

• The Power of the Heart Symbol

The first depiction of the heart shape as a symbol of love can be traced back to the French manuscripts of the 13th century. Over the centuries, this symbol of love has been refined to depict romantic love, deep affection, connection, and compassion.

The Valentine Heart Necklace is when words are not enough and a few moments of life need something unique. Whether you are on an anniversary or birthday or want to tell someone you love someone, this necklace will come out with the consideration and thoughtfulness required. Its length is about 17 inches, with a lobster clasp composed of heavy-duty material to assure durability.
