sterling silver and gemstone jewelry

From Indonesian artisan Putu Putri comes this exquisite pendant necklace. A beautiful, ornate fern handcrafted out of sterling silver hangs from a woven black leather cord, combining elegance and simplicity. The pendant is studded with the following dazzling gemstones: two garnets, a peridot, an amethyst, blue topaz, and citrine.

Surrounded by lovely leaves and brilliant stones of peridot and amethyst, a teardrop-shaped rainbow moonstone is luminous in this dazzling pendant. Neeru Goel of India presents an elegant sterling silver necklace that is linked with the same leaves and gemstones as the pendant. The design is completed with lengths of sterling silver Cuban link chain.

Magical sparkles evoke the grandeur of a rainbow in this exquisite necklace from Neeru Goel. More than 24 carats of garnet, peridot, amethyst, citrine, and blue topaz gemstones sit within sterling silver pear shaped bezels. A dazzling faceted peridot pendant suspends from the chain in a gorgeous example of contemporary Indian style.

The alley cat does her best to stay in the shadows. Contending with other night creatures, the feline also prefers to be neither seen nor heard. No wonder they call them "cat burglars!" The nocturnal nature of the notorious alley prowler is captured in beautiful detail by Balinese artisan Made Wardika. The circular pendant features a smiling crescent-moon, hand-carved from bone, with a cat of sterling silver sitting beside it. A pair of faceted garnet gemstones flank them, while the top and bottom are adorned with amethyst and peridot gems. The entire necklace receives a combination of oxidized and high-polish finishes for stunning visual contrast.

Gently embraced by sterling silver, gemstone droplets form a colorful cascade in this necklace from Alok Jain. Faceted peridot, amethyst, blue topaz and citrine total 21.5 sumptuous carats.

Hanzi are characters used in Chinese writing. As early as the sixth century A.D., many of these characters began to be simplified and adopted into Japanese writing, where they're known as kanji, a term that is more widely used in the West. Artisans in Yiwu, China, create these pendants by using sterling silver and the lost-wax casting method. Each character emulates the sweeping brushstrokes of traditional calligraphy. Choose based on birth month, favorite color, or simply the symbol that resonates with you most.
