18ct Gold Turquoise & Diamond Petal Pendant Necklace

This dainty turquoise and diamond pendant is completely handmade in solid recycled 18ct yellow gold.

A beautiful light blue turquoise with blue-green webbing is the star of the pendant. It is from the Carico Lake mine in the USA. The turquoise measures 10mm x 7mm and weighs 2.03 carats. This stone is 100% natural and is not treated. The turquoise rough was purchased from the current mine owner and then expertly cut by a lapidary in the USA. This turquoise was formed in ancient seafloor shale, what is now known as the Carico Lake mine located in Lander County, Nevada.

The beautiful rose cut diamond is off white/light champagne in colour. It measures 3.5mm in diameter and weighs 0.12ct. It brings a pretty sparkle to the pendant.

The turquoise and diamond pendant is finished with a tiny gold flower petal charm, which catches the light when moved.

The pendant measures 2.5cm, from the top of the bail to the end of the petal.

A solid 18″, 18ct yellow gold spiga chain is included in the price.

Handmade by Lilia in her studio in the Cotswolds (UK) and hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office. It will be presented in a high quality jewellery box.

ETHICAL JEWELLERY

The 18ct yellow gold used in this turquoise and diamond pendant is from recycled sources, no mined metals have been used, causing less damage to the environment. My metals are obtained from a refining source in the USA, which processes old reclaimed jewellery and jewellers’ scrap – coins etc. Palladium (a member of the platinum family) makes the gold naturally white. Therefore, unlike standard white gold, there is no need to plate the jewellery with rhodium.
