Kyanite Pendant in Sterling Silver
This kyanite pendant is set in a handcrafted sterling silver setting.
The premium-grade gemstone we selected has a deep, inky blue colour that's not uniform throughout the stone.
When held up to the light, the colour becomes more intense and resembles that of some blue sapphires.
Kyanite forms in long, bladed crystals with parallel growth lines running along its length. These striations are intrinsic to how the mineral grows and often remain visible after polishing.
Kyanite is brittle and has perfect cleavage, which makes cutting and polishing difficult. For this reason, gemstones can display a slightly scratchy appearance and are not particularly common in jewellery, especially when faceted.
The back of this kyanite gemstone has been designed so that it just touches the skin when worn. This is important for people who use crystals for their healing properties.
