Gemstone Size: Approx. 13x17mm Pendant Size (including bail): Approx. 34mm Material Information- Natural Labradorite, the entire pendant is made of 925 sterling silver. The dark areas are specially treated with vulcanization. Q: What is the common "vulcanization treatment" for Nepalese jewelry? A: When silver jewelry turns black, "oxidation" is a common folk term. Oxidation refers to a substance reacting with oxygen. However, silver (jewelry) turning black is a reaction with "sulfur" in the air, forming "silver sulfide." This results in the black substance (which can be coffee-colored, light brown, dark brown, or reddish-brown) on the surface of the silver (jewelry). If silver (jewelry) is not properly maintained, it will darken and lose its luster. Therefore, the correct term is "sulfidation," which is a reaction with hydrogen sulfide in the air or sulfur dioxide in moisture, forming silver sulfide on the surface of the silver (jewelry). In the craftsmanship of Nepalese silver jewelry, specific "vulcanization" treatments are applied (giving a black or aged appearance) to enhance the piece's unique character. If you do not prefer this look, you can try gently scrubbing the deliberately vulcanized areas with a soft brush dipped in toothpaste multiple times. Product Includes- Pendant, jewelry box, polishing cloth, PVC jewelry storage bag. 💫A special note from Nellie: For jewelry designed with natural stones, we strive to handle the gemstones with utmost care. However, as each piece is entirely handmade, there is a possibility of slight imperfections on the stone during the setting process. Some may be visible to the naked eye, while others may be subtle. Please ensure you are comfortable with the "potential" beauty of these unique characteristics before making a purchase. (Most natural stones inherently possess natural crystalline structures or inclusions. We encourage you to inquire or research this information before your purchase. 😊) ■Shipping Information All Nellie products are shipped from Nepal.
