Design and Wear:
Rhodochrosite Sterling Silver Hammered Spoon Pendant is a small functional object made for people who love unusual silverwork, crystal tools, folklore, and wearable ritual pieces. Originally imagined as a spoon for feeding fairies, pixies, and other magical or everyday creatures, it can also be used as a miniature spoon for tiny amounts of salt, pepper, chilli, herbs, spices, incense, altar offerings, or display.

The solid 925 sterling silver cast gives the piece a strong and lasting feel. This newer version is heavier than earlier models, mostly due to the thicker shaft and slight increase in length. The inverted scoop on the back gives the pendant a sculptural, offbeat form, while the hammered silver texture adds depth, movement, and handmade character.

Set with Rhodochrosite, the pendant carries a soft but powerful heart-centred presence. The pink mineral tone brings warmth and emotional depth to the utilitarian spoon form, creating a piece that feels playful, tender, protective, and quietly strange.

This pendant can be worn as a heart talisman, used as a tiny spice spoon, styled as an altar tool, kept as a collectible silver object, or gifted to someone who loves Rhodochrosite, folklore, and unusual handmade jewelry.

This piece is not intended for medical use or for inserting into the ear or body.
Stone Insights:
Rhodochrosite:
Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral known for its pink to rose-red colour, often with soft banding, creamy tones, or earthy natural variation. In this pendant, it brings warmth, tenderness, and emotional symbolism to the sculptural sterling silver spoon form.

Spiritually, Rhodochrosite is associated with love, compassion, friendship, kindness, self-worth, emotional comfort, and heart healing. It resonates strongly with the Heart Chakra, supporting softness, forgiveness, emotional renewal, and a more open relationship with the self. Its zodiac associations include Leo and Scorpio, bringing courage, emotional depth, warmth, and transformation into the piece.

Combined Energy:
Rhodochrosite and hammered sterling silver create a pendant that feels tender, protective, and quietly magical. Rhodochrosite brings heart energy, compassion, and emotional warmth, while sterling silver adds strength, clarity, and timeless handmade structure.

Origin and Authenticity:
Made with solid 925 sterling silver and natural Rhodochrosite selected for colour, tone, and visual character. Natural stones may show small variations, banding, inclusions, surface details, or colour shifts that make each piece unique.

Sizing and Fit Notes:
This is a cast spoon pendant designed to be worn on a cord or chain. It comes with a durable 1.5 mm black cotton cord. Other chain options may be available on request. This is part of a small collection with several unique hand-selected stone variations available.

Care and Maintenance:
Sterling silver naturally develops patina over time when exposed to air, moisture, and skin oils. Wipe gently with a soft cloth after wear or use. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight pouch or jewelry box. Avoid perfume, chlorine, household cleaners, swimming, bathing, and prolonged moisture.

Rhodochrosite should be protected from hard knocks, chemicals, water exposure, and abrasive surfaces, as it is softer than quartz and can be more delicate. Store separately from harder gemstones or sharp metal objects to preserve the stone and silver finish.

Packaging and Gifting:
Gift-ready packaging is included. Each order is packed securely with care. A small gift and discount code may be included with your order.
