Little Bluestem Pendant with White Opal, Southwest Style
Little Bluestem Pendant with White Opal, Southwest Style
I placed a rising white opal moon between sprigs of little bluestem grass in this Southwest Style necklace. The pendant hangs from a hand-beaded strand of sterling silver pearl beads. I added an extension chain so that it can be adjusted from 18 3/4" to 21 1/2" in case you'd like to layer it with another necklace or have the ability to wear it with slightly different necklines.
The last image shows it layered with my 6mm beaded chocker also listed on my website.

Care information
Care information
Your order will come with a polishing cloth to touch up your jewelry pieces. I oxidize (tarnish) and polish the highlights of most of my jewelry pieces to bring out the texture of the prairie grasses and wildflowers. This oxidation will come off if polished with the cloth. When polishing pieces, polish only the raised surfaces to keep the dark oxidation.
With variscite, avoid ultrasonic cleaners and heat steamers. Heat can damage the stone. Do not let sit out in the sun.
My Guarantee:
Each piece is made with care. If for any reason a purchase is not what you expected, please contact me for directions on a return. I do think you'll be pleased though.
