Meet Me at the Sea, Handstamped Necklace, Oxidized Sterling Silver

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 15:21:56 -0500

$76.00
*{THE MEANING}*
Are you wishing for a quiet place, a place to reconnect with those you hold dear? Tell them to meet you at the sea. A genuine white pearl recalls the foamy crest of the waves, the semi-precious pale aquamarine stone and a sterling silver mini starfish charm remind you of the water.

*{THE DESCRIPTION}*
This all .925 sterling silver necklace features a hand-stamped pendant, with the words “OH MEET ME AT THE SEA“ on the bottom half of the rounded square. Pendant is approximately 3/4“ in diameter. Dangling from the round pendant are three reminders of the ocean: a genuine white pearl, an authentic semi-precious aquamarine faceted stone and an oxidized miniature starfish (approximately 1/4“ tall). These elements are suspended on a fine 16“ (choker length) sterling silver cable chain.

Finished with a simple spring clasp. The entire necklace has been oxidized by hand to give it a rich, warm and slightly bronzed, antiqued patina. (The words have been lightly blackened for a stronger effect.)

This hand-stamped, .925 sterling silver jewelry piece has been oxidized and is not “shiny silver“. The piece has been oxidized by hand and will appear antiqued or tarnished. This aging is intentionally done and should not be considered a defect.

A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST
Each and every piece is hand-crafted and handstamped. I do not use presses or machines to create the wording on my jewelry. As such, please note that the differences in the finish and ‘imperfections’ such as floating letters (not perfectly computerized and straight) and the like, are part of the inherent character and charm of the piece and should not be considered defects.

Finally, please note that the photos in my listings may show a representation of what you will receive. (Sometimes, the jewelry in the photo listings have already found a good home!) Since each item is handcrafted, please do expect there to be minor differences from the photos shown. Thank you ever so much for understanding and appreciating the unique handmade nature of each and every piece!

*{NOTE}*
Each piece at Hazelnut Cottage is made one-by-one, oxidized by hand, so do allow for minor differences in finish and lightness/darkness of oxidation. It is not “shiny silver”, but has been oxidized so that it has a aged patina that will continue to darken over time.

Please note that the ‘imperfections’ such as floating letters (not perfectly computerized and straight) and the like, are part of the inherent character and charm of the piece and should not be considered defects.
