Considered the Treasure of Mermaids, Aquamarine is the color of beautiful clear water. This stone has some wonderful specks of flash in it and I chose Sterling Silver to complement the stone when wire sculpting the pendant. While some is found here in the United States, most stone used for jewelry making is actually from Brazil. This pendant is 2 3/4" long and 1" wide. If you need a cord or chain to go with this, I'll make a listing with some options that are inexpensive.
