Strolling through the Bondi Markets last weekend, I fell in love with a raw mineral pendant on a long vintage gold link chain, it looked like a big chunk of vivid green, perfect for layering with the other vintage chains I’ve been collecting. But just my luck, another eager shopper snatched it up before I could even try it on. So I did a little exploring and found some great mineral pendants online at Urban Outfitters, and let me tell you, act quick before they’re gone like my market heartbreak.
The great thing about mineral jewelry is the texture and character it adds to an ensemble. With the hard curves and crevices that come with a raw stone, not only do you get the feeling of having a one of a kind piece (even if it’s mass produced some of the nooks and crannies have to be different), but you get an earthy flair without diving into the land of hippies. It is a stylish accessory that flirts between the casual and cocktail lines. You can find just about any variation of this look if you search around enough, from large dull pieces to smaller bright pieces, all of which look great when layering a few different necklaces or when paired with a chunky ring or two.
Multicolored stones like this one come with a little splash of drama, changing from dark deep purple to a vivid blue when it catches the light. A piece like this from Urban Outfitters would be a great way to dress up a classic t shirt for a day of running errands or going to class.
Then if you’re looking to mix up the shape a little, you can go for a flatter pendant like one of these, also from Urban Outfitters. These wide designs would look great with a maxi or midi skirt for a little bit of a boho/festival feel.
Pendants like these are super easy to find at different markets and vintage stores. The key to finding it at a place like that is remembering you make it work for you, so don’t pay much attention to the chain, you can always replace it with one that suits you. Focus on finding a piece that catches your eye and you’ll never look back.
