This particular pendant measures 1 1/16" tall, 5/8" at its widest point, and 1/4" at its thickest point. All of the metal in this pendant is Sterling Silver, including the attractive filigree design on the back of the setting. The weight of the MOLDAVITE specimen itself is 11.4 cts and the total weight of the pendant is 5.5 grams, which does NOT include
the weight of the chain. Considering the size, quality, and cost of this piece, this is an outstanding value and selection, as both a pendant and a specimen.
The above
photos are of the actual pendant that you will receive. A ruler
and a quarter are shown in the one photo for scale and reference and all
measurements are to the nearest 1/16th of an inch but rounded down, NOT up. The
length/height is measured from the top of the setting to the bottom but does not
include the bail or any part of its structure or the jump ring. Each pendant is
custom made by hand, based on the individual specimen. The back of the jump ring is stamped with
the "shooting star" logo of STARBORN CREATIONS along with "925" to authenticate
that this is a Sterling Silver setting. To make this a complete gift, we also
include an 18" (with a 2" extension) snake chain. The chain that is included is Sterling
Silver plating over Brass, NOT solid Sterling Silver. As chain lengths and style are highly
personal, it is possible to easily replace the included gift chain with a
different one of your choosing, whether from your own collection or from your
favorite jeweler. A descriptive identification/authentication card is included with each MOLDAVITE pendant, along with our contact information stamped on the back, for quick and easy reference, if needed.
I have tried to show this pendant in the ways in which you might look at it as you held it in your hands, from front to back, top to bottom, side to side, and of course, held up in front of a bright light. All photos were taken with 3 daylight, color-balanced, compact fluorescent bulbs to provide even and consistent lighting results, whether photographed against a white or gray background. As a result, I have NOT had to adjust the brightness or contrast of the posted photos. They do show the most accurate color and shading nuances. However, the bright "hot spots" visible on the silver surfaces are the results of reflections from these lights. PLEASE NOTE: Our photo "studio" is controlled and maintained by Grace and Andi, who have generously contributed some of their own hair to "highlight and enhance" the background of some of our photos, since they do spend about 20 hours a day sleeping there. This was done without our knowledge or permission and we tried our best to remove all that we could before we started shooting...and we failed, miserably! While this IS an apparent "feature" of some of our photos, we will NOT be including any cat hair with your purchase!
