Charoite Big Bead Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Pendant

Hand-forged in the Adirondack foothills, this sterling silver pendant features a richly colored fancy-cut purple Charoite set within a clean straight bezel. Beneath the stone, a bold arrangement of sterling silver bead accents—including one large center bead flanked by two smaller beads—adds sculptural dimension while preserving the clean lines of the design.

Built as a one-of-a-kind handcrafted silver pendant, this piece reflects intentional bench work, refined composition, and the enduring character of artisan sterling silver jewelry.

Form & Wearability

Measuring approximately 2 inches in length, this pendant offers a balanced statement with a timeless silhouette. The vibrant purple Charoite naturally draws the eye, while the trio of sterling silver beads anchors the composition and creates subtle movement and visual weight.

The clean bezel setting allows the natural beauty of the stone to remain the focal point, while the bold bead accents introduce depth without overpowering the design. The pendant wears comfortably as an everyday statement piece or as a distinctive addition to a curated collection.

Chains are sold separately.

Material & Studio Practice

This artisan sterling silver pendant is hand-forged using traditional silversmithing tools and hands-on fabrication techniques within our Adirondack jewelry studio. The Charoite is individually fitted into a straight bezel, while each solid sterling silver bead is carefully positioned and soldered by hand to create a balanced composition.

An oxidized finish enhances the depth of the silverwork, emphasizing the dimensional bead accents while complementing the rich purple tones of the Charoite. Every stage of fabrication reflects the disciplined studio practice behind Sterling Roots.
