This handmade Smoky Quartz necklace is made with faceted round Smoky Quartz beads and a Thai silver hammered circle pendant.  This necklace includes a 2” sterling silver extender chain and sterling silver lobster clasp.  Necklace measures approximately 16 ½”.  Natural variances in the Smoky Quartz gemstones and in handcrafted Thai silver make each bead and piece unique. 

Hill Tribe Silver is made in Thailand by the Karen Hill tribe.  Each bead is handmade & the silver content is between 95-99%.  This makes the silver softer & easier to form into beautiful beads & pendants.  No two pieces are exactly alike.  Hill Tribe Silver also tends to tarnish less than Sterling Silver.

Smoky Quartz is considered the universal healing stone and has been used as a substitute for more expensive gemstones throughout time. There are two forms of quartz; Macro crystalline quartz, which is quartz that is recognizable with the naked eye and Micro crystalline or Crypto crystalline quartz, which is too small a crystal to be seen without high magnification, such as Chalcedony. Both varieties can be found in Brazil, Madagascar, Namibia, both the French and Swiss Alps and the U.S.  Smoky Quartz is brown transparent quartz.  Smoky Quartz is often confused with Smoky Topaz, or Topaz.
