This raw garnet nugget sunburst pendant necklace is handmade with genuine naturally wine-colored natural garnet chip beads, hand-wrapped sterling silver wire (14k gold filled also available) and matching delicate chain and clasp. Beads measure 3-5 mm apiece. Each bead is hand picked during the crafting of each necklace to show a beautiful range of size. This necklace would make a unique and meaningful gift for anyone in your life with a January birthday, as it is the birthstone for that month. That means it's also the stone for the Capricorn and Aquarius Zodiac signs too. Garnet is said to help in harnessing passion and creativity, and can assist in cleansing and re-energizing all the body's chakras. Pictured is a 18" necklace, but other lengths are available. Please note your length preference and metal preference in the purchasing options. Jewelry made of 14k gold filled and .925 sterling silver can get wet in the shower, ocean, etc. but should be dried off as much as possible and stored in a cool dry place, such as a closed box or bag. Please note: it is possible for sterling silver to tarnish eventually, especially in humid climates, but any tarnish can be easily removed in warm soapy water or by using a soft cloth. If you purchase gift wrapping at checkout, your necklace will be packaged nicely and securely in a sturdy gift box, with festive filler, tied with a ribbon. I aim to reuse, repurpose and recycle packaging materials where possible to create as little waste as possible. Order and other information: Your order will be mailed using Etsy shipping. USPS tracking information is available for all packages. Please check your purchase from your account for status updates. Returns: I will happily accept returns for a full refund (minus my shipping cost) within 7 days of receipt of purchase. Just contact me via Etsy message so I know to watch for your returned package!
