The East Turns White Necklace
925 sterling silver, marquise-cut moissanite, for daily wear
A small patch of light at the collarbone: marquise-cut moissanite supplies the brightness, 925 silver the steadiness. The East Turns White is the key to this necklace - the full story is told below.
Cast in one piece of 925 sterling silver with the marquise-cut moissanite set low by hand - it will not catch on sleeves, scarves or hair. Weighs about 2.4 g; made for all-day wear.
Arrives with a silver-polishing cloth and a fabric pouch; clearly stamped S925. No fussy upkeep - just remove it before swimming or bathing.
Symbolism
The East Turns White
Su Shi and his friends drank all night on the river at Red Cliff, and the essay ends with a single line: 'We never noticed the east had already turned white.' When joy runs its course, dawn arrives unannounced. A marquise stone is the eye most awake before daybreak - however long the night, a thread of white waits at its end.
