Sunlight Necklace | Blue Sodalite & Copper
- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered, shipping soon
A vintage crystal that catches light. Deep blue stones that hold it. Copper that warms the whole thing up.
The centerpiece is a vintage Swarovski sun crystal. They don't make these anymore, and when our supply is gone, that's it. The facets throw light in a way that modern crystals don't quite match. We've been holding onto these for pieces that deserve them.
Around the crystal, deep blue sodalite beads add weight and contrast. The blue is rich, almost ink-like, with the subtle white veining that makes each stone different. Hand-hammered copper accents break up the beads with warm, textured metal that develops more character over time. The whole thing hangs from a beeswax-treated cotton cord that adjusts from 16 to 20 inches, so you can wear it high on the collarbone or let it fall lower.
"I found these vintage Swarovski sun crystals years ago and couldn't let them go. There's something about the way they fracture light. I wanted to build something around that brilliance, so I chose sodalite for the contrast. That deep, quiet blue makes the crystal's fire even more striking. The copper just felt right. It's warm where the blue is cool, organic where the crystal is precise."
The Artistry in the Details
- Vintage Swarovski Sun Crystal: A discontinued crystal with exceptional light refraction. When these are gone, they're gone.
- Blue Sodalite Stones: Deep ink-blue with natural white veining. Each stone is unique.
- Hand-Hammered Copper: Textured by hand for an organic, artisan feel. Develops a richer patina over time.
- Adjustable Length: Beeswax-treated cotton cord adjusts from 16" to 20" with a simple slide.
- Strung & Knotted by Hand: Each bead is individually knotted for durability and movement.
Key Elements
- Vintage Swarovski Sun Crystal
- A rare, discontinued crystal prized for its exceptional faceting and light play. The centerpiece of the design.
- Blue Sodalite
- A deep blue stone with natural white veining. Smooth, cool to the touch, and rich in color.
- Hand-Hammered Copper
- Textured copper accents shaped by hand. The warm metal complements the cool blue stones and will develop character with wear.
- Beeswax-Treated Cotton Cord
- A durable, adjustable cord that slides easily and holds its position. Natural and comfortable against the skin.
How to Care for It
Avoid water, perfumes, and lotions. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store flat or hanging in a jewelry pouch to prevent tangling. The copper will develop a natural patina over time, which most people love. If you prefer the brighter look, a gentle polish will restore it.
Light, contrast, warmth. A piece that earns its place in your collection.
Q: What is the sunlight crystal?
A: It's a vintage Swarovski sun crystal, a specific cut that Swarovski no longer produces. The faceting creates exceptional light play. We have limited supply, and when they're gone, we can't get more.
Q: Will my necklace look exactly like the photos?
A: Very close, but not identical. Natural sodalite varies in veining, hand-hammered copper has slight texture differences, and each piece is knotted by hand. That's what makes it yours.
Q: How long until I receive it?
A: Please allow 1-3 weeks for creation. Emily makes each piece by hand in our Oregon studio, so it takes time to do it right.
