Smoky Quartz

Breathtakingly understated, deeply sophisticated, and utterly gemstone-like — this handcrafted fused glass pendant fills an extraordinarily large, generously domed rounded square with the most beautiful translucent warm olive-grey and soft khaki, the glass so clear and deep it reads like the finest smoky quartz or a piece of polished prasiolite — a single, barely-there horizontal band of slightly deeper warm taupe drifting through the centre like a whisper of sediment in still water, and the most delicate tiny air bubbles caught throughout like the finest inclusions in natural crystal.

The whole piece has an extraordinary, completely convincing geological authenticity — like holding a piece of the finest smoky topaz or a perfectly polished piece of ancient glass found on a Roman shore. The extraordinary scale and deeply domed form give it a beautiful, stone-like weight and presence, the translucent olive-grey shifting from a warm, golden-tinged khaki in bright light to a cooler, more contemplative grey-green in shadow. A piece that is quietly magnificent and endlessly wearable. The architectural cylindrical silver bail adds a perfectly understated, refined finishing touch. Hung on a delicate silver chain, it is wearable stone.
