Pietersite Pendant Necklace — 02
$3,860
The Pietersite Pendant Necklaces mark Abel’s first edition of completely one-of-a-kind pieces.
Cast into 18k yellow gold directly from waxes handmade by Kelsey, each pendant is singular and cannot be replicated.
Each pendant’s form is crafted around a single piece of Pietersite — a stone Kelsey sourced directly from the only mine in the world where it’s still found. The stone combines deep stormy blues swirled with warm fiery hues, with a mesmerizing optical effect that causes its appearance to shift in the light.
Only three Pietersite Pendant Necklaces exist, see them all here.

THE STONE: PIETERSITE
Kelsey first encountered Pietersite at the Tucson Gem + Mineral show in 2020 and was immediately entranced by its mesmerizing visual depth, which reminds her of a stormy sea.
The stone combines hues of deep blue, golden yellow, fiery red, and rich brown, which shimmer and shift in the light due to chatoyancy, an optical effect similar to cat’s eye.
Pietersite is found in only one mine in the entire world, located in the Kunene region of Namibia.
Kelsey sources the stone directly from this small-scale operation, where it’s extracted using manual and controlled methods designed to minimize environmental disturbance.
The material is then cut and processed locally by Namibian craftspeople, supporting skilled employment and training.
A VERY LIMITED EDITION OF THREE:
These three pendants were carved by hand in wax, informed by the form of its respective stone, and cast directly into solid 18k yellow gold. Each one is singular and cannot be replicated.
