January Raindrops Necklace · Maroon Garnet
This variety of garnet is has some clarity to the stones, and the crystals are irregular shaped. The crystals are darker in shade and shine more of a maroon color when the light hits them. The natural crystals vary so some of the necklaces are made with larger stones and some with smaller, some with more irregular shapes and some with smoother shapes. Which means your necklace will be entirely unique, and no one will ever have one just like it!
The Raindrop Design:
The crystal raindrops fall around your neckline in the such a flattering & delicate way. This design is my favorite necklace I've ever done, and I am so excited to send you such a pretty piece! We have a Raindrops design for every month’s stone, so that you can get one in the month that has special meaning to you, or get the one with the colors you like best! Get a necklace to represent each kid, one for your anniversary to remind you of how much you love your spouse, or one of the neutral ones to go with any outfit... I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find an excuse to get all 12 😉
With a 14 inch chain and 4 inch extender, this necklace is VERY adjustable; it can be clasped to be worn as short as you'd like or up to 18 inches. The high quality chain has soldered links to prevent breaking, can be worn daily and while showering. Everything is lead & nickel free.
The Process:
Raw crystals are sorted through to find the prettiest ones. These crystals are then carefully positioned with the prettiest sides of the crystal facing down. A little circle is attached to the top & the setting is secured and shaped with epoxy. Then this little crystal is hand painted with conductive paint. The crystal then goes through a really neat process where pure copper deposits onto that conductive paint on the crystal for 12+ hours, with me taking the pieces out to make adjustments every few hours. After tumbling, hand polishing, and plating in the thickest possible layer of nickel-free 18k gold, rose gold, or sterling silver, the little crystal is finally ready. Multiply that whole process by 5 because 5 beautiful little crystal pendants are used. Once a batch of these little crystals are ready, they are sorted through to find five that look beautiful together and are balanced in weight. The chain is precisely measured and cut. Then the 5 crystals are arranged in the way that distributes their weight in the best way, and secured onto a high quality chain (solid sterling silver, rose gold filled, or gold filled) using locking jump rings. Long story short... a whole lot of time and love is put into this little beauty!
