hag stone necklace pendant … personalized with your own sand … meaning
a hag stone necklace pendant, personalized with your own sand … meaningful jewelry created with a sprinkling of your own sand, a tangible keepsake of memories of a special time, a special place.
throughout history enchanting hag stones were believed to be magical … it’s said they’re protective amulets when worn as pendants or when suspended in the home, guarding against bad luck and evil ... the hole in a hag stone is just large enough to allow good fortune and good wishes to pass through it while all the bad and evil won’t fit through the hole and therefore cannot reach you.
approximate measurement - 5/8” (15mm)
- the hag stone is 1/8” thick
- the center hole measures 1/4” (6mm) so will accommodate most any chain or leather cord
- metal - oxidized sterling silver (.925 silver)

I've carved the hag stone from a chunk of carving wax and when I sand cast yours in sterling silver I’ll add a sprinkling of your sand to create a unique, one of a kind personalized hag stone pendant ... for you or as a thoughtful personalized gift for someone special. The hag stone sand casting will take on the texture of your sand sample ... the process takes some time but it's completely hand crafted jewelry because I believe how it's made matters.
