My 9 Favorite Necklaces

A curated selection of my 9 favorite necklace pendants.

#1 — Flat Beach Stone Pendant

Flat stone pendant

A flat stone from our beach, sliced and polished, set in a very thin silver bezel on a delicate chain.

#2 — Maria’s Stone Pendant

Maria's stone pendant

A beach stone with glittering flakes of mica, set on a silver plate and framed by silver nuggets. Gifted to Maria.

#3 — Gold Heart (“Love Actually”)

Gold heart pendant

A heart pendant in solid 14K gold on a gold link chain, designed after the necklace featured in the British movie “Love Actually”. Set with a garnet; sand blasted finish makes the gold matte so the stone pops out.

#4 — Aquamarine Pendant

Aquamarine pendant

A beautiful emerald-cut aquamarine in a simple frame of brushed 14K gold. One of the author’s favorite stones. Gifted to his little sister.

#5 — Fine Silver Heart-Link Chain

Heart-link chain

Fine silver hammered links, some in heart shapes. A 60-inch chain that can be wrapped up to 3 times around the neck. Fine silver can be fused (not soldered) — a nicer look that does not tarnish.

#6 — Diamonds in the Rough Necklace

Diamond necklace

Tiny rough diamonds each drilled like a bead, attached to an 18K gold chain with tiny gold rods. A labor of love to produce this delicate piece.

#7 — Horseshoe Pendant

Horseshoe pendant

Horseshoe pendant in gold and silver with 6 champagne diamonds. About 1.5 inches tall and hollowed in back but quite heavy — like a real iron horseshoe.

#8 — Dog Paw Pendant

Dog paw pendant

Silver dog paw with brown diamonds. Inspired by Kenda the German Shepherd.

#9 — Turquoise Pendant

Turquoise pendant

A beautiful turquoise stone set in sterling silver.
