This smaller pendant is simple but striking, with its lovely Yttrium Fluorite cabochon and the contrast of dark background with silver balls as a frame around the stone. The pendant is sterling silver that has been antiqued. The little graduating silver balls are fine silver (.999), as is the bezel around the stone. The bail is hand cut and riveted. This pendant is sold with an 18" removable silver snake chain.
The beautiful stone that originated in Mexico is translucent and has a wonderful soft spring lilac color. Note: The stone has a consistent color through-out; any differences you see in the photos are due to reflections from the sunlight coming through the window as I took the pictures.
