The artist used an eye-catching jasper stone to create this one-of-a-kind artisan necklace made of sterling silver and then 24k gold plated. The textured pattern on the metal emphasizes the red-coloured stone. Jasper is a type of quartz stone commonly associated with the red colour. It is a protection stone, supporting through times of stress and bringing tranquility and wholeness because it absorbs negative energy. The pendant is combined with a beautiful gold-plated sterling silver chain.
