Questions about this piece
What makes this gemstone rare? +
Malachite and chrysocolla form together only when copper-rich conditions occur in very specific geology, which produces the swirled blue and green pattern in this teardrop. Sarah hand-selects every stone, so each PARAISO is one-of-a-kind in its banding and color depth.
How does it sit at 17 to 21 inches? +
At 17 inches it sits at the collarbone, at 21 it falls just above the chest. The adjustable length makes it easy to layer between a shorter piece like CELESTE and a longer pendant, or to wear solo over a tee or open neckline.
What is the gold tendril detail? +
Sarah wraps a small 14k gold-filled tendril at the back of the piece so the necklace remains finished and pretty even when it shifts above the collar. It is a quiet handmade detail you mostly see for yourself, but it changes how the piece feels to wear.
How do I care for this piece? +
Malachite and chrysocolla are softer copper-based stones that should be kept away from water, lotions, and perfume. Wipe gently with a soft cloth and store flat in the pouch provided. Full instructions on the jewelry care page.
