Moss and Plume Agate Cairn
Moss and Plume Agate Cairn
Cairn is the Scottish-Gaelic word for a stone stack used to mark a special place. All the stones are from special places and these Moss Agates are no exception. The lowest is brimming with bright green dendrites while the center one has a few wisps meandering gracefully through clear agate. To top this, the white pluming of Angel Wing Plume Agate oversees all the growth down below. Set in Fine silver with Fine Silver spheres and stack, this Cairn marks where the special place is you.
This pendant comes with a 3.5 mm Greek Leather cord, measuring about 18 inches, and is held to your neck with a hand made Sterling Silver hook and loop clasp. All of the stones were sourced in Oregon, hand polished, and the setting fabricated from scratch by Karen Britt. Two of the stones of the trio are left backless to let the light shine through and bring you closer to the stones. Each piece is a one of a kind piece of art, because no two stones are the same and the settings are created by hand, no two pieces are the same (even the earrings). It should be mentioned that all stones are used in their natural state; never dyed or heated to change their appearance. All the metals used are either recycled or fair, humane trade verified and all components used in the jewelry will return to the earth leaving no footprint. Thank you for enjoying the art.
