About this Product
I saw this lovely crackle quartz tumbled stone as an opportunity to stretch myself and try setting it using a variety of copper coiling and weaving techniques. My goal was to create an artistic statement pendant, an organic design as irregular and intriguing as the stone itself.
Crackle quartz is clear quartz (representing clarity and spiritual growth) that has been heated and cooled to create fractures that sparkle and catch the eye. Crackle quartz is less durable than regular quartz, but the copper setting should protect the stone for ordinary wear.
The pendant itself is about 2 3/4 inches (7 cm) long. The copper chain is adjustable from about 18 to 20 inches (45 to 50 cm).
The pendant has a non-tarnish coating to protect the finish. If you avoid getting it wet, the coating will last longer. If it wears off over time, you can use the polishing cloth I included in the box.
If something happens to your pendant, please feel free to contact me via GoImagine or by sending an email to cobaltdragonflyart@gmail.com. If you return the item to me (at your cost) I will do my best to repair and return it to you at no additional cost to you.

Meet the Maker
I got in trouble for doodling mandalas at school, even though I didn’t know the word “mandala” at the time. I love to create art and jewelry, sometimes drawing on spiritual traditions such as the paganism of my ancestors in Lithuania.
I’ve never met a craft I didn’t like, but wire weaving jewelry is my favorite. I am fascinated by different stones, their colors, patterns, their shimmer or flash, and their symbolism. When I start working with a stone, I visualize and sketch the style of setting that feels right. Then I have fun figuring out how to connect all the elements. The actual process of weaving is both meditative and deeply satisfying.
It is always my hope that after a piece comes together, the wearer will feel some of the joy I felt in the creative process.
