Brushed Sterling Silver Necklaces  

Handcrafted Sterling Necklaces with Natural Gemstones

The brushed finish on sterling silver measures between 150-320 grit, creating micro-grooves that scatter light across the metal surface. This texture pairs well with natural gemstones because it does not compete with the stone's optical properties. Our collection includes necklaces set with turquoise (Mohs hardness 5-6), amethyst (Mohs 7), and labradorite (Mohs 6-6.5), each selected for durability in everyday wear. Artisans shape each handmade silver necklace using traditional metalworking methods. They cut, form, and solder .925 sterling silver before applying the brushed texture with specialized tools. Real gemstones arrive rough-cut from their source locations, then our lapidary partners polish them to showcase natural inclusions and color variations unique to each piece. Our silversmiths work with bezels, prongs, and channel settings to secure stones without damage. The .925 sterling standard means each necklace contains 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for strength. We test every piece before shipping and include a care guide to maintain your brushed finish for years.
