Necklace, Engraved Plumeria Necklace (round)

Each piece of Cathy Ward’s jewelry is handcrafted and finished in her small studio in Portland, Oregon. Cathy is drawn to simple but unique design. These designs can be worn with anything and everything, and by everybody. Cathy's carefully crafted jewelry pieces can be worn individually for a simple, minimalist look, or they can be all layered together in your own unique style. Using sterling silver, 14k gold-fill, semi-precious gemstones and Czech glass beads, each piece is meticulously finished with attention to every detail. As each jewelry piece is individually handmade from the forging process to the final delicate details, no two pieces are exactly alike, and all contain minor imperfections which add to the character and do not affect how long the jewelry will last or its overall quality and value.

Cathy’s jewelry is often made with sterling silver which may tarnish. The very best way to keep your silver jewelry bright and shiny is to wear it! Natural skin oils help to protect the surface of your jewelry, however do take care as sterling silver is susceptible to scratches when it encounters abrasive surfaces. When not wearing your jewelry pieces, store them in an airtight container. Small plastic bags are perfect for this. Clean jewelry with mild soap as needed and polish with soft silver polishing cloth.
