Vintage Sappharine, a man made glass gemstone created in Germany around the 1950s shimmers at the center of this gorgeous piece. This purple sapphirine comes from a German collection of antique costume jewelry from auctions and estate sales. The vintage glass stones are removed from the pieces and made available for repurposing by new jewelry designers.

Sappharine was actually produced to look like Saphiret glass, which was made in Czechoslovakia up until the early 1900's and is now very rare and expensive. It seems that people are perpetually captivated by and attempting to recreate the beauty from another time. 

This delicately crafted necklace showcases an enchanting 8mm faceted piece of purple sapphirine radiating with ethereal beauty, and delicately bordered by four tiny iridescent lab created opals.

This glass gemstone is sometimes referred to as opal glass, a magenta with a light purple shimmering flash. Like many precious stones, it's difficult to photograph and beautiful to behold. The four 2mm opals delicately accentuate its celestial presence, forming a radiant star that embodies elegance. 

This silver celestial necklace is perfect for both formal occasions and everyday wear. It serves as a constant reminder of the divine presence that surrounds us and an emblem of the strength and beauty that lies within.

Please note, this gemstone piece is a 70 year old antique and shows some light wear and tear.

The sterling silver star necklace hangs on a sparkly silver chain, perfect for layering with other necklaces or worn on its own. The chain is adjustable between 16-18 inches and is lead and nickel free. Longer chain lengths are always available at no extra cost, just message me with your order!

With each purchase I include a polishing pad and care instructions for taking the best care of your new piece.
