Rock crystal is quartz grown clear — no iron, no color, nothing caught inside but light. Faceted here into big lantern beads that throw the light back, set against the dark metal shine of hematite, with freshwater pearls between. This is a one of a kind. The only one.
The clear quartz carries the strand, each faceted bead cut to catch and scatter, spaced by faceted hematite and round white pearls, closed on a silver filigree clasp. Strung once, by hand, before it reached us. No two pieces like this exist.
At 18 inches it sits at the collarbone, the clear stone lit against the skin. Wear it alone, doing all the work. Keep it off water, perfume, and chemicals — the pearls are soft and the hematite dislikes damp. A dry cloth is the whole maintenance plan.

every piece begins as something she wanted to wear
I wanted a different chain length, and Shezal was quick to accommodate. She was communicative, and the turnaround from making the necklace to shipping was fast. I love it. It's exactly what I pictured, with a bit of heft, too, so you can tell it's great quality.
