14k Gold & Diamond Mountain Necklace

Few things feel as exhilarating as the call of the wild. Keep that adventurous spirit close to your heart with Jen Lesea's gorgeous necklace. To design the pendant, she uses a 20-step process that includes hand-cutting pieces of sterling silver, carefully arranging them with tweezers to create the peaks of a mountain range, then bonding each one using only the heat of her torch.

Once the master design is finished, she creates a mold, then casts each pendant in recycled 14-karat gold. The luminous moon, a certified conflict-free 0.3-carat diamond, rests in a hand-soldered setting with a hole drilled in the base to allow for even more radiance. Rendered in precious materials and strung on a coordinating cable chain, the rugged scene becomes a refined heirloom for generations of explorers. Handmade in Colorado.
