A sterling silver pendant necklace with a smooth cylindrical black spinel capped by a polished silver fitting. The stone hangs as a clean vertical drop, its glassy black surface catching a low, even shine against the bright cap. Black spinel has long been carried as a protective, revitalizing stone, once prized by Moorish and Spanish royalty. It hangs at the chest from a sterling silver curb chain. The polished finish holds its brightness through regular wear. Wear it on its own as a quiet vertical accent or layered with other silver chains.
