Long Malachite Chip Strand Necklace

Green the whole way down, and none of it the same green. Malachite bands in light jade, deep forest, and near-black, each chip cut to show a different section of the stone’s rings. Polished smooth but left irregular in shape, so the strand has a rough rhythm to it rather than a uniform one.

Long. Wears at full length over almost anything, or doubles into a shorter two-strand.

Substantial weight — you’ll feel it settle, which is most of the appeal.

Excellent condition. Strand is sound throughout, no thinning at the stringing, chips are unchipped at the edges.

Genuine malachite chips, continuous strand. Keep away from water, heat, and ultrasonic cleaners — malachite is a soft stone and doesn’t tolerate any of them.

✦ For the one who keeps something ancient on her body at all times.
