Wood & Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace, Stone Inlay

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.

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.
