I bought this necklace... took a chance on the gold - it just seemed to work better with the gold than silver - and absolutely love it. I'm anxiously waiting for the matching earrings to come back on order and will definitely get those for the set.

The Iolite Pendant

Iolite pendants are a treasure to behold. Paired with silver or gold vermeil, the gem's blue-violet glow is forever captivating. In ancient times, mariners used iolite as a compass; they believed it turned a different shade of blue-violet when held to the northern or the southern skies. It was also said to unlock an artist's creativity, which may hold true to this day.
