The sodalite mineral pendant is made from a piece of natural deep blue stone that has been pre-drilled with a bead hole. Within a few minutes you can thread it at home onto your favourite chain, and you do not need to take it to an expensive jeweller for hanging.
The characteristic deep blue of sodalite
Sodalite is a strong, saturated blue mineral that often shows white veining. The blue shade is darker than a summer sky and looks particularly striking when threaded onto a white shirt, a cream blouse or a black sweater. Every piece will be unique for you, because the white veining is never identical.
Size for wear
The pendant has been sized so that when worn around the neck it is not heavy and does not drag the chain downward. You do not need to buy a metal mount, because the chosen cord can be threaded directly through the drilled bead hole.
What you can thread it with
The drilled bead suits the most common jewellery cords. You can choose a leather cord with a natural look for everyday wear, or a thin silver chain for festive occasions. The deep blue tone is particularly elegant when combined with silver.
What it suits as a gift
The sodalite pendant is a good choice as a birthday, name-day, graduation or end-of-school gift for someone who appreciates natural materials. The deep blue colour conveys a calm, serious mood, so it can be given to both men and women. Since it arrives with a drilled bead, the recipient can choose their own chain at home.
Cleaning and care
Wash the stone in lukewarm water with a soft brush or cloth. You should avoid strong chemicals, chlorinated water and direct perfume contact. It is worth removing during sports and swimming so the polished surface does not dull from perspiration.
Storage against scratching
Store the stone in a small textile pouch or a separate jewellery-box compartment. This way you can preserve the lustre of the polished surface and prevent metal jewellery from scratching the side of the stone.
