Flanking the Moldavite on either side are a lustrous freshwater river pearl and a genuine Czech Garnet, creating a beautifully balanced composition that is both elegant and uniquely Czech in character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contrast between the vibrant green Moldavite, the deep crimson garnet and the soft iridescence of the pearl results in a timeless combination of colour, texture and natural beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pendant is individually handcrafted using the traditional Tiffany (soft soldering) technique. Lead-free tin and silver solder are carefully worked around the stones, with sterling silver incorporated into the design to create an organic, free-flowing setting that enhances rather than conceals the natural forms of the gemstones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA matching tarnish-resistant stainless steel chain is included at no additional cost, allowing the pendant to be worn and enjoyed from the moment it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated almost 15 million years ago during the meteorite impact that formed the Nördlinger Ries crater, every Moldavite is completely unique. No two specimens share the same shape, texture or internal characteristics, ensuring your pendant is genuinely one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece has been handcrafted using lead-free jeweller's pewter with added sterling silver.
