A single raw gemstone nugget, genuine and unhurried, suspended horizontally between two lengths of oxidized patterned sterling silver chain by bright silver wire — simple, elemental, and quietly beautiful. The stone sits at the center, held gently in place, the contrast between the dark, patterned chain and the bright wire adding an organic, artisan quality that feels entirely intentional.

Like its companion earring, this necklace is about simplicity and the beauty of real materials honestly worn. The raw gemstone, with its natural shape and texture, is the quiet centerpiece of a piece that lets the stone speak for itself.

Available in the same curated selection of genuine gemstones as the Droplet Earrings, many corresponding to birth months — making this a deeply personal birthstone gift, a thoughtful bridesmaid jewelry gift, or a simple everyday indulgence for yourself. Pair with the matching Raw Gemstone Droplet Earrings for a complete nature inspired jewelry set.

Jewelry Care

Jewelry Care
Take off your jewelry before doing any activity that could damage it, like cleaning, exercising, or bathing. Also, avoid sleeping in your jewelry. 
Keep away from moisture and humidity. Store in a cool dry place like a jewelry box or bag.
Store safely: Store your jewelry in a soft-lined box or case to prevent scratching. 
Cleaning: I recommend removing tarnish with a jewelry polishing cloth.
Patina: Metal will patina over time due to a variety of factors like humidity, body oils, etc. Some people like the antiquity look and some don’t. You can remove patina by using a jewelry polishing cloth. I recommend Sunshine polishing cloths.
