This is one of my favourite sets. Sharply chiselled Vesuvianite is teamed with Karen Hill Tribe silver to create a chunky yet highly sophisticated necklace and earrings set.

Vesuvianite is relatively rare and often found in association with Garnet, Diopside and Tourmaline. It was first discovered in 1795 near Mount Vesuvius, hence the name and is found in crystalline limestones in other places too such as California, Norway, Siberia, Switzerland and Mexico. Its deep, deep forest green is complemented by the silver which, being Karen Hill Tribe, is almost 99% pure silver. Each of the Vesuvianite beads is interspersed with small Karen Hill Tribe silver beads, with two geometric spacer beads matching the geometric clasp. The matching earrings are also on Karen Hill Tribe silver ear wires and are of a comfortable weight, although Vesuvianite is a relatively heavy stone, measuring 6.5 on the Mohs Scale making it almost as hard as quartz.

The necklace is 16.5" (419mm)long, so sits fairly close to the base of the neck. The earrings have a drop of 25mm.

Price : £64.00
