Blue Agate and Fine Silver Necklace
Handcrafted with a unique blend of Blue Agate and fine silver, this necklace is originally sourced and manufactured in Japan. The fine silver is derived from industrial runoff collected during the removal of materials from computer chips. It is ground into a fine powder and mixed with a moist organic binder, then burned off in a kiln. A filagree ball is piped onto a cork or paper binder, which is also burned off, leaving behind a hollow, elegant ball shape.
