Description
Sparkle and shine with this unique white topaz and gold vermeil pendant necklace. Inspired by the hidden beauties of the world around us, this premium necklace is the ultimate in attainable luxury. As part of the Birthstone collection, Claire took inspiration from one of nature's most resilient creations, the lichen, to design this three-drop pendant. Often overlooked, it is resilient and thrives slowly at its own pace, reminding us to stay true to ourselves and walk our own path. Studded with three white topaz gemstones, this April birthstone is a fire crystal linked to knowledge seeking. Dainty but mighty this versatile necklace will be one you reach for again and again.

We use 2.5microns of gold plating over sterling silver (recycled here) in every single gold piece. That’s five times thicker plating than normal gold-plated jewellery. To ensure these are pieces you will wear forever, I offer a re-plating service if you need it in the future.♢ I’m sure that a circular economy is the way forward in jewellery manufacture. That’s why certified recycled silver is used in all of the pieces customers can buy. It cuts down CO2 emissions by 2/3rds of mined silver.♢ The majority of our silver is bought in Thailand and comes from previously owned jewellery, industry or electronics components. It is refined and purified before being recast and the parts of this process are certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council and London Bullion Market Association. A selection of our chains are made in the UK with recycled silver.♢ Recycled silver has its own hallmark and of course, it’s slightly more expensive to use. I believe it’s more than worth it. Look out for my ‘buy back silver’ scheme which I will be launching.✧ ETHICIALLY SOURCED GEMSFrom the Greek word to “seek”, this fire crystal is linked to the Sun and Jupiter.
