{"product_id":"black-quartz-pendant-necklace","title":"Black Quartz Pendant Necklace, Faceted Stone Wrapped in Brass Wire","description":"\u003cp\u003eA small black stone, cut with flat facets so it flashes like dark glass, wrapped at the edge with brass wire and hung from a fine brass chain. Nothing more is needed, and that restraint is exactly why it works: on the model it sits just below the collarbone, a single dark point against the skin that goes with anything. TARA Projects makes it; the fair trade group supports artisan families across northern India and calls this a minimal, everyday necklace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaceted, not flat.\u003c\/strong\u003e The cut surfaces catch light, so black never looks dull here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire-wrapped edge.\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass hugs the outline of the stone and frames it in warm metal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiet enough for daily.\u003c\/strong\u003e Small and light, it can stay on from the first coffee through dinner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlack Crystal Necklace for Everyday\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA black crystal necklace is the jewelry version of a black tee: it matches everything. \u003cstrong\u003eAgainst a white shirt it reads crisp; against black it turns subtle, a glint more than a color.\u003c\/strong\u003e Black quartz is still quartz, a 7 in hardness, which means the faceted surface resists the light scratches that a softer stone would collect from buttons and zippers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Layer Necklaces with a Small Pendant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall pendants make the best first layer, because they sit high and leave space below for longer pieces. Start with this one closest to the neck. Add a second chain long enough to fall a hand's width lower, then a third lower again if you like a fuller stack. Mixing shapes helps: the dark oval here looks sharp above a slim bar or a long Y drop, and a plain chain between them stops pendants knocking together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo keep a stack from tangling, use chains of slightly different weights; the heavier chain settles faster and stays put while the lighter one moves freely above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrass Chain Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chain and wire are brass, which warms in tone with time. Store the necklace clasped, in its own pouch, and give the chain a wipe with a polishing cloth when you want it brighter. Wipe the stone with a soft cloth to clear skin oil from the facets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlack Quartz Necklace Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it comfortable to wear all day?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Take it off for showers and swimming so the brass stays bright, and put it on after perfume and lotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the stone look different from the photos?\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural black quartz varies a little in shape and in how its facets fall, so each pendant is slightly individual while keeping the same oval outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it suit men too?\u003c\/strong\u003e A single dark stone on a fine chain is neutral in style, and it works on anyone who prefers jewelry that stays understated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TARA Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67646979670317,"sku":"10203","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/tara-projects-black-quartz-pendant-necklace-1.jpg?v=1792003396","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/black-quartz-pendant-necklace","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
