A round wood pendant with a channel of crushed natural stone set into the face. Pick your wood and your stone, and it hangs on an adjustable sterling silver chain. It has the warmth of wood with a real gemstone at the center.

Materials and craft

I cut each pendant from solid hardwood, carve the inlay channel, and fill it with crushed natural stone, then sand it flush and finish it by hand. Turquoise and lapis lazuli read bold and blue; opal and mother of pearl catch the light softly; green tourmaline adds a deep, earthy green. Every pendant is finished with food-safe oil and beeswax and made in my one-person studio in Hamilton, Ohio.

Details

• Pendant: approximately 1.5 inch round, solid wood
• Inlay: crushed natural stone, Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli, Opal, Mother of Pearl, or Green Tourmaline
• Wood: nine options, Canarywood, Cedar, Cherry, Maple, Olivewood, Orangeheart, Purpleheart, Redheart, Walnut
• Chain: sterling silver, adjustable 18 to 20 inches
• Finish: food-safe oil and beeswax
• Made to order: cut and finished after you order, ships in 3 to 5 business days
• Packaging: ships on a plantable seed paper card; add a gift box at checkout and it still ships on the seed paper
• Made in: Hamilton, Ohio

Care

Keep it dry when you can and wipe it with a soft cloth. If the wood looks dry over time, refresh it with a drop of food-safe mineral oil or my Wood Butter.

A natural, grounding gift

The pairing of wood and real stone makes this a thoughtful gift for a fifth anniversary, a birthday, or anyone drawn to natural materials. Because both the wood grain and the stone vary, each pendant is one of a kind.
