Abalone Shell, Gray Moonstone, and Neon Blue Apatite "Sea Queen" Necklace
This listing is for the necklace photographed: An amulet fit for the Ocean Queen Herself.
An oval shaped Abalone shell cabochon with colors of green, blue, yellow, and purple. On the top, a teardrop shaped Gray Moonstone cabochon. Two round Neon Blue Apatite cabochons are set on either side of the Moonstone. Set in textured copper. A teardrop bail on top attaches to a pure copper cable chain (links are 3.7mm x 4.1mm) with a copper-plated brass lobster clasp. The copper is hand polished to a shine, and left bare so a natural patina may develop over time.
The pendant measures 2 3/8" tall, the bail is just under 1" wide, with the pendant being a 3/4" wide and about 1/4" deep.
Abalone carries an energy of tranquility and peace. It seems to embody the spirit of the great ocean itself: lustrous with colors and shimmering with luminescence and life. Associated with the element of water, it can be used to encourage a deep cleansing of the energetic centers. Moonstone represents the moon itself, with its ever-changing face. Imagine the tides themselves rising and bowing before the Moon, and know that your mysterious strength within can alter your reality as well. Apatite is intense, regulating, balancing, and echoes the voice unspoken. This necklace is made with intention: to remind you of your grace, regal spirit, sublime energy, your radiance.

ELECTRO MAGIC:
I create jewelry and curiosities by "growing" copper onto crystals and other organics using an alchemical hybrid process: Electroforming. In my cauldron of neon blue electrolyte solution, I brood over, coax, and observe my creations as they begin to take shape. The process takes twelve hours, up to three days, with each piece forming bumps, nodules, lines, and deep grooves along the way. Some of my pieces are darkened with a Liver of Sulfur solution and polished with oil; others are left shiny and bare. All of my pieces are left unsealed, which allows them to continue to age and oxidize, giving you a living, breathing adornment that is truly dynamic and ever-changing.
CARE FOR YOUR PIECE:
Please handle your handmade jewelry with care; avoid dropping it or inflicting heavy trauma or stress. While copper is sturdy enough for daily wear, it is a softer metal and can be misshapen under stress. Crystals and gemstones, especially in raw form, also need to be treated kindly. Avoid submersion in water and direct exposure to lotions, oils, perfumes, and harsh cleaners. These can permanently discolor some stones or tarnish the copper. To clean your jewelry, simply buff gently with a soft cloth to remove perspiration and oils. Some people with certain chemistry experience temporary discoloration of the skin when wearing copper jewelry, especially on the fingers and the back of the neck. This is the "Green Ghost" of oxidation and can be washed off the skin with soap and warm water, if you desire.
NATURAL STONES:
The crystals I use are hand-picked and inspected by me personally before I put them into jewelry. As they are natural treasures from the earth, some inclusions, fractures, pitting, mineral deposits, and other irregularities are very common. It is my belief that these imperfections add to the mystery and charm of these creations - just like us, they are flawed.
Flashes of light in stones such as Opal, Rainbow Obsidian, Rainbow Moonstone, Labradorite and others are often best observed from a certain angle or in certain light; however, I do work to orient my stones so that they will shine their brightest when worn.
