This Mothers Childrens Birthstone family necklace pendant can have up to 5 different gemstones and is entirely handmade in silver by me. This is a very special pendant celebrating the bonds between mother and child. I've designed an original series of settings that will allow me to incorporate up to 5 beautifully faceted gem stones into a single flowing wrap. The 2ndpicture shows a 4 stone combination of Amethyst, Pink Tourmaline, Peridot and Alexandrite. The second picture shows the 2, 3, 4 and 5 birthstone designs so you can see how the stones flow together. The 3rd picture shows the faceted stones that I will use and the birth months they represent. The 3rd picture shows what a 4 stone pendant looks like on. When you order just let me know in the "message to seller" section which birthstones you'd like and if there's a specific order you'd like them in from top to bottom. Not pictured is the single birthstone pendant but that design contains similar flowing swirls. If you instead are looking for a single birthstone ring I have the same selection of gems available in a ring here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/233674254/birthstone-ring-with-your-choice-of-gem

Wire wrapped settings are very distinctive from other types of setting and each setting is completely individual and entirely handmade. I developed my own technique of creating prongs from the wire itself and you will likely never see another setting like this. I prefer the wire over a more standard setting because I can be as free as I choose. I can create delicate swirls or dramatic flashy swathes very easily and I also find that the stones appear more brilliant and more vibrant because the wire allows more light from different angles to penetrate to the facets of the stone.
This design is based on 6 lengths of a special 1/10 sterling silver filled wire. If you prefer a solid silver, Argentium silver (tarnish resistant), gold filled or solid gold wire for the setting instead, please contact me and I will create a custom listing for you to reflect the different pricing for the cost of the wire. I also can create this same setting in any other alternate birthstone including natural stones such as Amethyst, Emerald, Aquamarine, Opal, Sapphire Topaz, Peridot, Citrine and many others. Please contact me for pricing as natural stones will vary greatly in price.
The included chain is silver filled with a lobster claw clasp and 20 inches long, which puts it at the top of the décolletage for most women but I can make a custom length at no extra charge if you'd prefer. Just indicate what length you'd like when you order. I ship all of my pendants in a carefully padded mailer and I'm including a hand folded origami envelope with an original watercolor sketch of mine on the outside ( the sketches in the picture are samples, yours will be a surprise!). The envelope converts to desktop easel to display the sketch if you like :-) Also a matching gift bag is included along with a free polishing cloth to keep your purchase sparkling!
