Simple yet stunning, this polished, untreated natural Emerald has been set in 925 sterling silver.  Pendant measures roughly 27x10x5mm, including bail.  Accompanied by a complimentary 18" sterling silver link chain.  Comes in a Two Skies presentation box, ready for gifting.

Part of Adam's personal collection, the material for this pendant was sourced by a Colombian family, who comb the riverbanks for pieces of rough Emerald washed down from the mountains in the rains. The birthstone for May, Emerald is said to inspire loyalty and domestic happiness. Healers also say that Emerald provides soothing and healing energy; it embodies unity, compassion and unconditional love.
Why do silversmiths use 925%? Measured in parts per thousand, pure silver (999%) is too soft so silversmiths mix it with other metals to make it it harder. The purer the metal, the higher the polish, but it is a lot softer (thus less durable). The harder the metal is, the more hard wearing the jewellery is, but it will also tarnish easier as it has less silver content. Therefore, the silver industry set a standard percentage content for fine silver (925); what we know as "sterling silver". At Two Skies our silversmiths use 925 (sterling) silver for ring shafts and moving parts, and a very high 950% on our stones settings, which enables us to get a strong jewellery item with a beautiful and secure stone setting, without any gluing. Each piece of our jewellery is hand stamped with our Two Skies Hallmark alongside the recognised industry 925 Hallmark.
