Grand Vista Variscite Orbit Necklace

This handcrafted brass necklace features a sculptural orbit-style pendant formed from two solid brass rings arranged in a balanced, open geometry. At the center sits a polished Grand Vista variscite cabochon, its pale green surface marked by natural veining that feels quiet, mineral, and timeworn. The composition emphasizes proportion and negative space, drawing from early metalwork traditions and symbolic forms rather than ornamentation. Subtle forging marks and warm brass patina give the piece a grounded, old-world presence that feels intentional and enduring.
 
The necklace is finished with a 21-inch brass chain and a hand-formed hook-and-loop clasp, allowing the pendant to rest comfortably at the center of the chest. With a 2-inch diameter pendant, this piece makes a strong visual statement while remaining versatile enough for everyday wear. It pairs naturally with other brass or stone jewelry and suits those drawn to handcrafted brass necklaces, variscite jewelry, and designs rooted in material history and form.
 
Stone Properties
Variscite has traditionally been associated with clarity of thought, inner steadiness, and emotional balance. Often regarded as a stone that supports calm communication and grounded decision-making, it is linked to soothing mental noise while encouraging patience and self-trust. In metaphysical traditions, variscite is valued for fostering a sense of quiet confidence and alignment between heart and mind (Hall; Simmons & Ahsian).
