Charoite Big Bead Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Pendant

Hand-forged in the Adirondack foothills, this sterling silver pendant showcases a richly colored purple Charoite cabochon set within a handcrafted gallery bezel. Graduating solid sterling silver beads flow along one edge of the stone, creating a sculptural composition that balances bold texture with refined simplicity.

Built as a one-of-a-kind handcrafted silver pendant, this design reflects disciplined bench work, intentional metalwork, and the enduring beauty of artisan sterling silver jewelry.

Form & Wearability

Measuring just under 2 inches in length, this pendant offers a substantial yet versatile presence. The organic shape of the Charoite is complemented by the graduating bead accents, which naturally guide the eye along the edge of the stone while adding depth and dimensionality.

A heavy-duty bail provides both visual balance and practical versatility, accommodating a wide variety of chain styles and sizes. The oxidized finish enhances the contrast between the polished bead accents, gallery bezel, and the vibrant purple tones of the Charoite.

Chains are sold separately.
