This wire wrapped pendant is handmade with 14K Rose Gold Filled wire and includes an 16" matching chain.
The necklace design lovingly envelopes this brilliantly faceted Oregon Sunstone which is approximately 2.35 carats. The body color of this sunstone is slightly brownish orange. The rose gold especially compliments this sunstone color.
The vertically mounted Oregon Sunstone is hand crafted and beautifully highlights this unique Sunstone, mined in Southeastern Oregon.
Remember! All Oregon Sunstones are unique and one of a kind. No two are alike. This pendant will never be duplicated.
The dimensions of the pendant are: 30.0mm long (1.20 inch) and 8.4mm wide (1/3 inch).
Gold-filled is a layered material constructed in two or three layers. The core metal is jewelers' brass. Single clad gold-filled has all the gold content in a single layer to completely enclose the core metal. Gold filled items are perfect if you're looking for a material that is higher quality than gold plated, but an affordable alternative to solid gold. Unlike gold plated, gold filled can last a lifetime if taken care of properly, and isn't affected by water or hot weather. It is also tarnish-free under normal conditions. The chain is made in the exact same way with the same properties as the wire used in wrapping the Sunstone gem.
This pendant was commissioned to be made by Ricardo Mendoza, a jewelry artist in Seattle, Wa.
