Petoskey Stone Pendant Necklace

Petoskey stone jewelry is a beautiful and unique way to wear a piece of Michigan's natural beauty. Whether you're a Michigan native or just appreciate the beauty of natural stones, Petoskey stone jewelry is a great addition to any jewelry collection.

Petoskey Stone from Michigan, handcrafted into a cabochon and set in a custom, Sterling Silver bezel setting. Includes an 18 inch, rhodium-plated sterling silver 1.0mm box chain with clasp.

The stone measures approximately 0.75 x 1.0 inches.  Overall pendant height is approximately 1.5 inches.

Rhodium plated silver is sterling silver coated in rhodium to make it whiter and brighter. Silver is a softer metal, so rhodium protects it from scratches or wear. Solid silver is too soft to be fashioned into jewelry, so it contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% of other metals like copper, nickel, or a combination of the two. The traces of copper and nickel in sterling silver cause tarnishing. Adding rhodium plating prevents this from happening.
