The stone is a gorgeous headstone shaped cut of rutile quartz, with the stone's faint rutile needles reminiscent of the weathering and aging. A stamped heart can be seen behind the translucent stone. The backside of the pendant is adorned with the stamped phrase "time passes, love remains." Scrollwork borders the top of the gravestone and connects it to the chain. One end of the satellite chain has a hook clasp; both the clasp and ring are connected to the chain by wire-wrapped faceted tourmalinated quartz beads.
All of the silver has been given a satin finish and is oxidized, a process which creates the blackened or antiqued appearance on silver. The raised points have been polished to shine, while the low points retain the oxidized color to show off the depth and details. All metal used in this piece is sterling silver.
The length of this chain is 18". The gravestone itself measures 1" tall by 0.75" wide.

A few notes on caring for oxidized sterling silver: oxidized patina on sterling silver isn't particularly durable to long-term exposure to water (like bathing or swimming) or a lot of scrubbing, as friction is the way to polish silver to shine. Constant exposure to tasks such as hand washing, bathing, swimming, washing dishes, etc., will slowly wear away the oxidized patina leaving a shiny silver finish.
