{"product_id":"gold-vermeil-wire-wrapped-blue-lace-agate-necklace","title":"Gold Vermeil Wire Wrapped Blue Lace Agate Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlue lace agate is one of the gentler stones in the mineral world. A banded variety of chalcedony, it forms in layers of silica deposited slowly within volcanic rock over millions of years, its colour a soft, hazy blue with delicate white banding that moves through the stone like cloud or breath. The effect is quiet and considered, nothing about blue lace agate demands attention, and that is precisely its quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a stone long associated with calm communication and the easing of anxiety. Blue lace agate is said to work with the throat chakra, supporting the expression of thoughts and feelings with clarity and gentleness rather than force. It is thought to slow the mind, soften tension held in the body, and encourage a kind of stillness that is difficult to manufacture and easy to lose. For those who carry stress in their voice or their words, it is a stone worth wearing close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece features a hand-selected blue lace agate stone, wire-wrapped by hand in gold vermeil; sterling silver with a thick layer of 18 carat gold, the warm tone of the setting drawing out the cool, hazy blue of the stone without competing with it. The wire follows the natural contours of the stone, holding it securely while allowing its full face to remain visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished on an 18 inch gold vermeil fine curb chain, the pendant sits beautifully at the collarbone, a length that works well alone or as part of a layered arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold vermeil is chosen here for its quality and its longevity, a step above plated jewellery and a considered alternative to solid gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHandcrafted at Rachel Hartley Atelier.
