Modern shops Antique White Topaz Pendant

I have always loved antique jewelry. The style, the detail, has always held such allure for me. This pendant is a nod to that, but with a modern update. A bead set white Topaz (the look of diamond, but without the price tag) sits pretty in the midst of a starburst that is part supernova, part flower, in this "Modern Antique" artisan pendant. Made from a melted nugget of silver and then hand forged into a smooth disc, this pendant features tiny beaded details around the stone and up the bail. It is sure to be cherished by its wearer.

To care for this piece, you can use a jewelry polishing cloth *on the metal only* (I will include one as a courtesy with your purchase) and/or warm water and mild dish soap on the entire piece. Care must be taken when cleaning Topaz--it should not be exposed to extreme heat, so never clean shops with an ultrasonic or steam, and do not dip this piece in chemical cleaning agents. Do not wear while sleeping, swimming, or bathing. Sterling silver is a metal that tarnishes when exposed to certain chemicals, the air, and even our own body chemistry. A quick polish here and there will restore its shine should it tarnish.
