{"product_id":"abalone-clear-chalcedony-diamond-pendant","title":"Abalone, Clear Chalcedony \u0026 Diamond Pendant - \"Luminescent Heart\"","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Luminescent Heart pendant from Maura Green begins with abalone shell, hand-carved into a soft heart form that carries the iridescent blue-green shift of the ocean with it. Layered over that is milky clear chalcedony, adding a quiet depth and a glowing translucency that catches light differently depending on the angle, the hour, the mood. Abalone has long been associated with emotional clarity and a calming nature that comes from knowing your own mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA round brilliant cut white diamond tucks in as a refined accent, and the mixed-metal construction, a sterling silver basket paired with 14K yellow gold, gives the whole thing  warmth and character. This pendant wears beautifully solo, or layers naturally with other talisman-style pieces. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003ePlease note, each pendant is hand-carved from natural materials, so no two are the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCold Hard Facts:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003ematerial: abalone and clear chalcedony \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003emetal: 14K yellow gold and sterling silver \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003egem accents: round brilliant cut white diamond\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003ependant dimensions: approx. \u003cspan\u003e25mm x 18mm x 9mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003ebail interior diameter: approx 4.5mm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePendant Only. \u003c\/strong\u003ePlease inquire about chain options.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this pendant come with a chain?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, this listing is for the pendant only.

The blue-green oceanic quality you're seeing is real and present in every piece, but the specific tone you observe on your monitor may differ slightly from what arrives. That's not a flaw, it's the nature of the material, and frankly it's part of what makes it so compelling in person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this pendant require special care?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eHand-carved talismans are not intended to be worn in water.

The abalone shell is hand-carved, which means your pendant is genuinely one-of-a-kind. The layering with clear chalcedony is done by hand as well, and the combination is finished in a sterling silver basket with 14K yellow gold bail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat gives it that glow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo things working together: iridescent abalone shell (which reflects light in that distinctive ocean-surface way) layered with milky clear chalcedony, which adds a soft translucency on top of the abalone detail. The effect is luminous without being flashy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I layer this with other pendants?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbsolutely, and Maura Green designs with that in mind.
