Unusual sterling silver and New Zealand jade (called greenstone or pounamu in NZ) necklace, with its own custom-made velvet pouch with sterling silver handmade button. The necklace is reversible, with a sort of star-fish or web design on one side and the plain jade stone on the other. The silver necklace is articulated, and unusually, the stone attaches at the front. You could also possibly wear the silver collar alone, joining it at the back. Pendant measures 40 mm by 30 mm and is wedge shaped, so sits well. It is a substantial piece of jade pounamu. Necklace is assay marked 925 (sterling quality), and signed "Millett". (Would be by either Louisa or Dan Millett, both New Zealand jewellery designers/makers, working in NZ jade). The pouch is purple velvet edged in green, with a hammered silver button.
