The warm glow of sunstone
The speciality of sunstone is the warm, orange-gold base colour dotted with tiny metallic sparkles. These sparkles are called aventurescence, and they give the stone its characteristic 'sunlit' shimmer. This pendant is uncut, so you will see a different sparkle distribution on every piece.
Why it lifts the mood
The warm orange-gold colour also has a psychologically cheerful and open effect. If you like to bring a little light and a smile into your everyday life, this stone is a good choice. In spring and summer it looks particularly good on sun-kissed skin.
The structure of the pendant
The stone is held by a silver-coloured metal setting. The setting does not cover the sparkles, so light can dance freely across the surface. A loop on top lets you thread your own chain or leather cord.
What occasions it suits
It is a cheerful companion for a morning coffee, a summer picnic or a light dress. You can also wear it on festive occasions; next to candlelight or warm lighting, the sparkles show themselves especially well.
Care and wearing
Sunstone is moderately hard and copes well with daily wear. Protect it from chemicals, perfume and long sunlight. You can wipe it with a soft cloth and, stored in a separate soft case, it will keep its warm glow for years.
The sparkles of sunstone change with the angle of light: when you move the stone, the gold shimmer is sometimes stronger and sometimes paler. So it is worth looking at the piece not in cold light but in warm light. Under a shop spotlight it often looks paler; in everyday light it comes alive beautifully.
You can bring a piece of warm glow into your everyday life with this stone.
