Klickitat County Chert Pendant
$28.00
Details
This one of a kind pendant features chert hand collected in Klickitat County, Washington, an area shaped by ancient volcanic activity and long geologic history. The stone was cut and polished by hand to reveal deep red tones and natural quartz veining formed through pressure, heat, and time.
This piece is finished with a simple glue on bail rather than wire wrapping, allowing the stone itself to remain the focal point. The clean silhouette keeps the design lightweight and easy to wear while honoring the natural character of the material without distraction.
Each pendant is shaped slowly and intentionally, with no two pieces ever turning out the same. The patterns visible in the chert are entirely natural and cannot be replicated once the stone leaves the studio.

Materials + Care
I prioritize quality and integrity in every piece I offer, working with natural stone, thoughtfully selected metals, and materials chosen for durability and long term wear or display. Many stones are personally collected, cut, or finished by hand, while others are sourced from trusted suppliers who share the same respect for material and process.
Jewelry pieces are designed for regular wear but benefit from gentle handling. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, chemicals, or impact. Oxidized metals may naturally shift in tone over time and can be lightly polished if desired.
Finished specimens, raw material, and lapidary slabs are left as close to their natural state as possible. These pieces are intended for display, collection, or lapidary use and should be handled with care to preserve natural surfaces and features.
Natural variations in color, texture, inclusions, and form are expected and are part of what makes each piece one of a kind.
Shipping + Returns
I aim to process and ship orders promptly, taking care to package each piece securely for its journey. Most orders ship within a few business days unless otherwise noted in the product listing.
International buyers are responsible for any customs duties or import taxes charged by their country.
Items that require special handling or weight based shipping, such as mystery lapidary material boxes or select rough material listings, will have shipping rates calculated at checkout. Commissioned work may have separate shipping arrangements depending on the project.
Due to the handmade and one of a kind nature of the work, all sales are final. Returns are not accepted, and return shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. Mystery items, custom work, specimens, and lapidary materials are non returnable.
If your order arrives damaged due to shipping, please contact me within 48 hours of delivery with photos so the issue can be addressed.
