Garden Quartz Arizona Sunset Pendant | Fine & Sterling Silver | Heritage Series

Garden Quartz Arizona Sunset Pendant

This garden quartz (also called lodolite) looks like an Arizona sunset captured inside stone, with layers of rust red, burnt orange, gold and earthy mineral inclusions moving through the cabochon like desert sky and landscape.

The stone is set by hand in a fine silver bezel, surrounded by sterling silver and finished with floral-inspired stamped detailing and dimensional silver accents. It comes on an 18-inch stainless steel chain.

From the Maker

“The stone has its own family history, too. I sourced it from my sister, who previously worked for the Bureau of Land Management in Arizona, and it had been tucked away in her personal stone stash for more than 10 years before making its way to my bench.”

— Suzette Meyers, silversmith and founder of Bootleg Silver Co.
