From pastel gradual gradient changes, to bright angular geometric designs, the patterns are a result of a careful mix of chemical reactions, with precious gold and silver added to give off a metallic shimmer.

The price ranges from $28 to $58 with a 20 per cent discount for the first pendant and 50 per cent off for the second item.
