Raw Quartz Lariat Necklace | Agate Slider | Pyrite & Sandalwood | Handcrafted Copper & Brass | Made to Order

This raw quartz lariat necklace is built from the ground up with intention. An agate slice acts as the slider, the chain threading through it so the whole piece adjusts by pulling, settling close to the navel at full length. Below the agate, pyrite beads and sandalwood beads connect down to a 1.5 inch raw quartz point electroformed in copper with brass accents, each material chosen for its warmth and its contrast. Quartz for clarity, pyrite for grounding and warmth, sandalwood for its earthy quiet, agate for the slice of banded stone that holds it all together. This is a piece for the person who wants their jewelry to tell a story without having to explain it.
Quartz is associated with clarity, amplification, and focus. Crown chakra. Wear it when you need to feel clear and present.
Why Quartz
Quartz is silicon dioxide, one of the most abundant minerals on earth, formed in a wide range of geological environments from igneous to metamorphic rock. Its clarity comes from its highly ordered crystal structure. The raw point form reflects the natural hexagonal growth habit of quartz crystals. Long used across cultures as a clarity and amplification stone. Crown chakra. No mystical claims. Just a genuinely beautiful mineral with a meaning that fits real life.

How This Handmade Crystal Necklace Is Made
Each raw quartz lariat is made to order in my small Santa Fe studio. I hand-select every quartz point for its clarity and raw form, electroform copper directly around the crystal with brass accents, then assemble the agate slider, pyrite beads, and sandalwood beads by hand. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every piece is one of a kind.
A Note on Stone Variation
Because these are natural stones, the agate slice, quartz point, and pyrite beads each vary in color, pattern, and form. No two pieces are identical.
Care
Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Store dry. Keep sandalwood beads away from prolonged moisture. Polish copper and brass with a soft cloth to maintain warmth or let the patina deepen naturally over time.
Gift Packaging
Every order arrives gift-ready with natural materials and a handwritten note card. Add your message in the order notes.

Product Details
Materials & Metals
Each necklace is handcrafted from raw copper, and may include elements of brass, bronze, silver, or stainless steel, paired with carefully chosen stones, crystals, or natural elements.
Every piece is shaped by hand through the slow process of electroforming — a melding of earth, metal, and time that creates unique textures and forms.
All metals are nickel-free and sealed for comfortable, daily wear. Slight variations in color, texture, or patina are natural signs of the handmade process — each one-of-a-kind, just like its wearer.
Chain Options
Necklaces are available in a variety of lengths to fit every ritual and style:
- 16–18 inches – sits high at the collarbone
- 20–22 inches – a classic mid-chest length
- 24–30 inches – longer talisman style for layering
Chain styles may include cable, rolo, or oxidized link, chosen to complement each pendant’s design.
Leather Option
Select designs feature a soft, durable leather cord, fully adjustable from 12 to 24 inches.
Leather cords offer a grounded, natural feel and can be worn short as a choker or long for layering — making them versatile for both men’s and women’s styles.
Care & Maintenance
All metals and leather will naturally age with time and wear — it’s part of their alchemy.
To maintain brightness, polish gently with a soft cloth. To preserve patina or aged finish, simply wipe clean and store in a dry place. Avoid prolonged contact with water, lotion, or perfume.
Remove before showering or swimming. Use a soft cloth; avoid abrasive polishing on patinated copper.
Copper Protection
Embrace the Patina
Some collectors love the rich, aged look that copper develops over time. This natural patina tells a story—of adventures taken, energies absorbed, and the passage of time. If you resonate with that earthy, vintage look, feel free to let your copper evolve organically.
Why add lacquer?
- Slows the natural darkening (patina) of copper
- Minimizes the chance of skin reactions
- Keeps copper looking brighter for longer
- Protects while preserving the earthy character of your jewelry
Details:
- Optional upgrade available for $5
- Applied directly to your copper ring, necklace, earrings, cuff, or bracelet before shipping
- Clear finish — no change to the look or feel of your piece
