Two sides
A spinning pendant with dark and soft sides
A round black onyx and a round mother of pearl set on a pendant that turns.
Dusk Spin is a round pendant that turns on its chain. One side holds a round black onyx, dark and polished, and the other side holds a round mother of pearl with its soft, iridescent shimmer. As the pendant turns, the two faces show in turn, so the necklace looks dark in one moment and luminous in the next.
The black onyx measures about 10 by 2 millimeters, and the pendant carries about 3.65 carats of stone in total. The sterling silver or gold vermeil frame keeps the pendant balanced, so it turns smoothly on the chain.
Because the pendant turns, the two faces take turns catching the light, so the necklace changes as you move through the day.
Easy and considered
A necklace that works from day to night
A 16 inch chain with a 2 inch extender of about 4.60 grams of metal, for everyday wear.
The chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender, a classic length that sits at the collarbone. The extender lets you lower the pendant a little. The metal weighs about 4.60 grams, so the pendant feels substantial without being heavy on the neck.
Sterling silver gives the pendant a cool, crisp frame that suits silver jewelry and tailored clothes. Gold vermeil adds a warm glow that complements the pearly shell and the dark onyx alike.
The meaning of balance
Black onyx and mother of pearl sit side by side here, dark depth and soft light in one pendant. Dusk Spin is a reminder that balance can be found between two different sides, and that both can be worn together. The meaning is yours to choose, and the necklace makes no promise of a particular result.
Some people choose a spinning pendant as a calm, hands-busy object for a long day. Others choose it as a gift for someone who appreciates a piece that shows a new side each time it moves.
Choosing your length
The chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender. Measure a necklace you already wear and check where the spinning pendant sits before you decide.
A shorter position keeps the pendant close to the collarbone, while the extender lets it fall lower. Try both in a mirror to see how the pendant turns.
Caring for the shell and finish
Mother of pearl dulls with heat, lotion and perfume, and black onyx can chip if it knocks against hard surfaces. Remove the necklace before swimming, showering, exercise and sleep.
After wear, wipe the piece with a soft dry cloth and store it in a separate pouch. Keeping it apart from harder jewelry protects the shell, the onyx and the vermeil.
Find your metal tone
Three finishes with the same spinning pendant. Choose silver for a cool line, yellow vermeil for warmth or rose vermeil for softness.
Yellow gold vermeil
Warm 18kt yellow gold vermeil over sterling silver that adds a golden frame to the pendant.
Rose gold vermeil
Soft 18kt rose gold vermeil over sterling silver that warms the dark onyx and the pearly shell.

Frequently asked questions
Is the black onyx natural?
Yes. Black onyx is a natural stone, and its color and polish can vary slightly from one piece to another.
Are the pearls natural?
The mother of pearl is a natural shell with a soft shimmer that varies from one piece to another.
Does the pendant spin?
Yes. The pendant turns on the chain, so you can spin it between your fingers as a calm movement during the day.
Is this necklace in stock now?
It is a pre-order piece. It is made after you order, so it ships later than in-stock pieces. Check the delivery estimate shown at checkout.
Are the gold options solid gold?
No. Both gold options are 18kt gold vermeil over sterling silver, a thin gold layer rather than solid gold.
Does the necklace promise any effect?
No. Black onyx is often linked with strength and balance, and mother of pearl with grace. Those meanings are yours to choose, and the necklace makes no promise of a particular outcome.
Can I wear it in the shower or pool?
Please remove it before swimming, showering or exercise. Water and chemicals can affect the mother of pearl and the finish.
How should I clean it?
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh polishes and ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage the mother of pearl and the finish.
