The Everything Bagel Necklace is made with a little bit of everything: sterling silver as always, lapis lazuli, pink quartz, pink freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals of varying colors, tiger eye, labradorite, and one black onyx. There is no real pattern because there are no real rules in life; it's all make-believe. The price point is due to the value of the genuine materials used.
Sterling Silver will develop a natural patina over time which can be cleaned off. This patina does not affect the durability of the material and should not cause any skin irritation. Sterling is made of 92.5% fine silver and each sterling element is stamped 925. The beads I use are solid sterling, not plated, order which means the base metal is silver rather than the base metal being copper or bronze with a silver plating. Plated jewelry tends to wear off in time, uncovering the cheaper base metals that cause skin irritations and allergies.
I am very passionate about supporting other small businesses so most of my materials are sourced from other Etsy shops. Those shops are listed below. I also frequent local gemstone shows to find unique pieces. Each bracelet, necklace and pair of earrings are one of a kind, handmade and designed by me.
