You know diamonds for their amazing sparkle and solid surface. Yet you will come to adore druzy for its amazing properties. You see, unlike diamonds, druzy is not just one gemstone. Rather, it is a surface covering of tiny crystals that have attached themselves over quartz for countless centuries. In some cases, a particular gemstone has been millennia in the making!
In spite of their vapor-infused origins, the substance we know today as druzy is surprisingly hard. Although not necessarily a good selection for rings, pendants and brooches are perfect vessels for the display of the crystals. At Peter Suchy Jewelers, we have some amazing examples of this gemstone variety. Are you ready to expand your gem horizon?
Black Agate Druzy Pendant on a Platinum Chain
The agate piece is a deep black, which makes the crystal druzy stand out beautifully. The delightful study in contrasts makes this pendant suitable for daily wear as well as for formal occasions. With the crystals situated at the center of the pendant, the gemstone is framed in 14k white gold. The chain is a wheat link design fashioned from high-quality platinum. Considering the skyrocketing expense of platinum, this is the type of necklace design that you will no longer find in this material.
