Aquamarine Raw Gold Plated Pendant
This pendant features a raw, uncut piece of natural aquamarine — its rough natural crystal faces left as they formed, rather than cut and polished into a faceted gem. The pale blue-green stone is held in a gold-plated setting with a bail at the top, ready to take a chain or cord of your choosing. Because each stone is raw and unaltered, the exact shape, size, clarity, and depth of color shift from piece to piece — the pendant you receive is one of a kind.

In Crystal Tradition
Aquamarine takes its name from the Latin for "water of the sea," and its pale blue-green color has long linked it, in crystal tradition, to calm and clear communication. Many people find it a grounding stone to wear when they want to feel steady and centered, and it's traditionally associated with ease around self-expression and honest conversation.
How to Wear / How to Use
Add your own chain or cord through the bail to wear it as a pendant necklace — a simple gold or silver chain lets the raw stone stand as the focal point. It layers well under a higher-neckline piece or worn alone as a single statement. Some people also keep it on a dresser or desk as a small piece of natural stone to look at through the day, sliding a chain through only when they plan to wear it.
Care
Aquamarine is a relatively hard stone (7.5–8 on the Mohs scale) but the raw, unpolished edges can still chip if knocked against a hard surface, so store it apart from heavier jewelry. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and prolonged sun exposure, which can fade the color over time. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. The gold plating is a thin surface layer, not solid gold — put the pendant on after applying perfume, lotion, or hairspray, and remove it before showering, swimming, or sleeping to slow natural tarnish and wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a natural stone, or lab-created?
A: It's a genuine, natural raw aquamarine crystal, left in its uncut state — not a lab-created or synthetic stone.
Q: Does this pendant come with a chain?
A: Check the product photos for exactly what's shown — many raw-stone pendants are sold as the stone-and-bail piece alone, ready to add to a chain or cord you already own.
Q: What does "traditionally associated with calm" actually mean?
A: It's a reference to long-standing crystal folklore and cultural tradition, not a medical or scientific claim — we're not saying the stone treats or cures anything.
