Long and encrusted with stones, this 18K gold Rock Candy® necklace is beautifully extravagant, and yet wearable for every day. The array includes blue topaz, London blue topaz, turquoise, Swiss blue topaz and triplets of rock crystal over mother-of-pearl and lapis as well as rock crystal over mother-of-pearl and amazonite. It reads like a work of art, given each gem is multifaceted and sculpted to form a geometric shape.
IPPOLITA's 18K gold combines pure gold and silver in a nickel-free alloy, giving it a cooler, more nuanced tone informed by ancient and Renaissance metalwork.
IPPOLITA's sterling silver is 925 finished in a layer of 99.9% pure silver, hand-polished to a mirror finish and resistant to tarnish.
Every Rock Candy stone is faceted by hand over ten hours, its large, deliberately irregular cuts following the veins and color already in the material rather than correcting them.
