Beautiful handmade with love, one of a kind gemstone pendant on a sterling silver snake chain. The pendant has a length of approximately 32mm and the stone is approximately 21mm by 14mm.
Blue Apatite - increasing personal power and clearing away confusion, this is a gorgeous throat chakra gemstone which enhances creativity and wakens in the inner self. A deeply spiritual stone, it is also well known for cleansing the entire aura.
This pendant is made from natural purple opal and 935 argentium sterling silver wire. Argentium silver has slightly more silver content that normal sterling silver (935 verses 925), so is hypoallergenic and suitable for people who are able to wear normal sterling. The advantages of agentium sterling silver are slightly increased hardness, and it is slower to tarnish when compared to regular sterling silver. The pendant is supplied on an 18" 925 stamped solid sterling silver chain. I also have 16" chains available if you are petite or would like more of a choker effect. Just pop a message in the 'note to seller' box at checkout and I will send a shorter chain if required. If you already have your own chain please as me for a quote to supply the pendant only.
Like all items of jewellery this item will need to be taken care of to continue to look it's best. Cleaning with a silver cloth will remove any tarnish which builds, and removing your sterling silver jewellery before swimming is essential. Both salt and chlorine will blacken sterling silver, as will exposure to chemicals in products which include hairspray, body lotions, perfume and make-up.
Please note that I have not made the chain, only the pendant.

POSTAGE: I only post to the address sent to me by paypal, please make sure you update paypal with the correct delivery address before you complete the transaction, I can't post to addresses provided any other way. I always aim to get your item to the post office within one working day of purchase and I always upload the tracking details into eBay for you. I find that Royal Mail typically deliver 90% of first class packages the next day during non-busy periods, typically the rest arrive the day after. Royal Mail can however take up to 5 working days to deliver first class items, and this does happen on occasion. If you require something urgently or need it guaranteed then please make sure you select the ‘Special Delivery’ option from the drop in your basket for the first item. If you do not do this I can not post via Special delivery. You will only be required to pay one special delivery charge, any additional items checked out together will be free.
COLOURS: I always try to take representative photos of my items. I don’t apply filters, photoshop or any other alterations to my photos. I just use natural lighting and try to get a photo which reflects the colour of the stones - please bare in mind that various monitors may display the image colours differently. It’s part of the charm of gemstones that they can appear slightly different colours in different lightings and on different skin tones. You always get the actual item in the photograph unless we have pre discussed a change (such as a sizing change) or the listing specifically states the item is ‘made to order’.
BUSY PERIODS: Christmas is a very busy period for the postal service. Please be aware of the cut off postage times, Royal Mail are recommending a last postage date of Wednesday the 21st of December for delivery before Christmas. **This does not guarantee delivery before Christmas.** Last recommended special delivery date is Thursday the 22nd December. Christmas is also a busy period for me, so I kindly request that if you want items with changes (size or style) made that you allow me 1-2 extra working days to complete the change.
