Galactic Neighbour Necklace

Natural pink tourmaline necklace, hand strung with sterling silver Raw pink tourmaline nuggets, hand-cut and hammered into organic freeform shapes, each one a little different. Tourmaline grows in long crystals deep in cooling rock, and the clear pink comes from traces of manganese caught in the crystal as it formed. Natural and untreated, so the colour is entirely the stone's own. Strung on wire and finished with a sterling silver lobster clasp. Every nugget has its own shape, and this necklace is one of a kind. There is only one. Hand strung in our studio in Oslo.
