The story of the design
Dark contrast. Clean structure. No distractions.
This Elite Shungite pendant centers on a 10x7mm faceted pear weighing 1.05 carats, cut from high-carbon Type I Shungite. The deep black center stone is framed in a precise double halo — an inner row of black Thai spinel (0.32ctw) and an outer halo of bright white zircon (0.33ctw).
The result is dimensional contrast rather than surface sparkle.
The white zircon defines the silhouette with crisp brilliance, while the black spinel reinforces the depth of the center stone. Black rhodium prong detailing around the spinel adds deliberate tonal control and keeps the piece visually cohesive.
Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished in white rhodium for brightness and tarnish resistance, this pendant is suspended from a matching chain and secured with a lobster claw clasp.
Balanced enough for everyday wear.
Bold enough to stand alone.
Please Note: This piece features genuine Elite Shungite (Type I High-Carbon Shungite, 90–98% carbon). Not all shungite is jewelry-grade — most commercially available material contains significantly lower carbon content and is not suitable for precision faceting.
