Smoky Stylin'
I was looking for a quartz pendant with an architectural bent and this one fits the bill nicely. Gifting it to someone who appreciates art in her wardrobe. Stones are faceted to catch the light and send sparkles galore. I didn't want an extremely large piece as my cousin is petite and she will prefer this smaller version.

After strands, pendant necklaces are one of the earliest forms of jewelry. The pendant derives from ancient cultures' practice of wearing talismans or amulets around the neck, and date from the Stone Age. By the Middle Ages, pendants took the form of reliquaries that held a memento of a saint or a sacred object.
A perfect accessory for the 21st century, the smoky quartz pendant is always elegant. Surrounded in sterling silver, the stone can take the shape of faceted ovals, teardrops and hemispheres. Whatever the setting, their exquisite coloration takes center stage and can vary from brown to gray and black.
Smoky quartz has its own varieties - cairngorm, from Scotland's Cairngorm Mountains, the very dark, black opaque morion, with its alternating black and gray bands, and gwindel, a cluster of nearly parallel crystals, each rotated slightly relative to the one beside it.
