Blue Chalcedony & Sterling Silver Necklace — Modernist Square Pendant
A round cabochon of deep blue chalcedony sits at the centre of a squared sterling plaque, turned on its point like a diamond and set into a finely textured field that throws the stone forward. Polished ribbed terminals carry it onto a sterling box chain.
The lines are clean and modern, the blue is saturated and even, and the piece lies flat on the collarbone rather than dangling — the sort of necklace that goes on in the morning and stays on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is chalcedony?
A microcrystalline quartz, prized for its even colour and soft waxy lustre. Blue chalcedony has been cut and worn since antiquity, and it holds its colour well in daily wear.
How long is the chain?
Call or text us at 504-908-0011 and we will measure it for you before you buy.
Is it sterling silver?
Yes — 12.6 grams of it, with a .925 tag at the clasp.
How do I care for it?
Buff the silver with a soft cloth. Chalcedony is porous enough to dislike harsh chemicals, so keep it away from dips and ultrasonic cleaners, and wipe it with a damp cloth instead.
