Southwest Washington Quartz Sterling Silver Wire Wrapped Pendant
Details
This one of a kind pendant features quartz material hand collected in Southwest Washington. The stone originated from a larger quartz formation and displays natural structure shaped by pressure, mineral movement, and time.
After hiking into the Cascade foothills and selecting material, I slabbed, shaped, and polished this cabochon by hand in my studio. The finished stone was then wrapped in high quality sterling silver wire sourced from Rio Grande. The wire has been oxidized and sealed to preserve contrast while highlighting the form and flow of the wrap.
Every line of wire was placed with intention, following the natural story already present within the stone. This piece reflects a hands on process from field to finish, honoring raw origin while refining it into a wearable form.
A grounded pendant shaped by rugged landscapes and careful craftsmanship, created for those drawn to natural strength, quiet detail, and stones that carry a sense of place.

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.
