Macrame Necklace with Chrysocolla

Description

Chrysocolla Gemstone with Macrame Pendants

Artechaski created these beautiful, handmade chrysocolla gemstone with macrame pendants. Each pendant features a one-of-a-kind design that showcases a chrysocolla gemstone set in macrame.

To begin with, a unique weave of colorful macrame securely encloses the gemstone.  Also, the customizations of each unique design include various patterns of macrame and various beads and other embellishments.  Further, all of our macrame pendants include a sliding closure of macrame cord for universal fit.

Next, as one of our favorite gemstones, we note that:

• The word “chrysocolla” originates from the ancient Greek words for gold (khrusós) and glue (kolla) or “gold soldering”
• Also, the Spanish word for glue is “la cola.”  Peru and Chile provide a key source of our chrysocolla gemstones

We also really like that each of our chrysocolla gemstone with macrame pendants possesses unique characteristics.   First, each stone has its own unique color pattern.  This can range from deep blues to cyan to greens – often, with streaks of other lighter or darker coloration.

Second, cuts vary widely.  Examples include ovals, squares, and pears.  The most common cut is cabochon.  Also, if you’re fortunate, you might come across a cabochon that resembles the Earth.

Finally, similar to malachite and turquoise, chrysocolla is a copper carbonate gemstone. A mixture of chrysocolla and other copper carbonates enhances the uniqueness, beauty, and durability of the one-of-a-kind piece of fine jewelry from Artechaski.
