Description
Exquisite handcrafted sterling silver pendant featuring a large, textured raw Moldavite specimen at its center. This rare tektite is framed by five faceted green Peridot gemstones in various cuts (round and pear). The silver work features ornate scalloped edges and leaf-like scrollwork with oxidized details. Measuring approximately 1.25 to 1.5 inches, this piece is perfect for those who appreciate metaphysical jewelry or unique botanical-inspired designs.
Key Features
High market demand for genuine Moldavite; raw/natural specimen aesthetic; multi-stone design; Sterling Silver construction; popular 'cottagecore' or 'witchy' style.
Authenticity Indicators
The Moldavite shows the characteristic 'lechatelierite' (elongated bubbles/lines) and mossy texture expected of genuine Czech tektites. Setting style is typical of Indonesian or Indian sterling silver artisan work. Confidence Level: Medium-High (Testing for 925 stamp on back recommended).
Flaws to Note
Natural inclusions and surface pitting are characteristic of Moldavite and are not flaws. Some tarnish on the bail and reverse side; no missing stones or significant scratches on the faceted peridots.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for artisan/handmade vibes), eBay (broad reach), or Poshmark (strong jewelry market). Instagram or TikTok would also work well due to the 'spiritual' niche.
Selling Tips
Weight the item in grams and include it in the listing; Moldavite is priced by weight. Use keywords like 'Tektite', 'Ceskem', 'Metaphysical', and 'Starborn'. Photograph against a white background or with light shining through the Moldavite to show its translucent green glow.
