A natural gemstone pendant is a pendant built around a polished natural stone, chosen for its own colour and pattern rather than for faceted sparkle. The Handmade Natural Gemstone Pendants collection is John S. Brana's range of wire wrapped pendants in 14K gold-filled metal, each shaped by hand around a single stone in his San Francisco studio.

What Is a Wire Wrapped Natural Gemstone Pendant?
A wire wrapped pendant holds the stone in a frame of hand-formed wire instead of a cast setting with prongs. No drilling or glue is needed, so the whole stone stays visible, front and back. Because every stone is cut from natural rock, the pattern in each pendant is unique, and the wire is shaped to fit that one stone.

Why Choose a Natural Stone Pendant?
- One of a kind – the pattern in each stone formed naturally, so no two pendants match
- Nothing hides the stone – wire wrapping shows the whole stone without prongs or glue
- Hard-wearing – quartz and agate are hard stones, so they suit regular wear
- Gold look that lasts – 14K gold-filled wire has a thick gold layer that will not flake like plating
How to Wear and Care for a Wire Wrapped Pendant
- Choose a chain – check each product page for whether a chain is included before ordering
- Wear it on a simple chain over a plain neckline, so the stone is the focus
- Clean it with a soft dry cloth; avoid ultrasonic cleaners and liquid dips, which can work into the wire wrapping
- Store it on its own so harder pieces cannot scratch the stone or bend the wire
Who This Collection Suits
This collection suits anyone who wants a one-of-a-kind stone rather than a faceted gem, people who wear gold tones, nature and geology lovers, and gift buyers looking for a pendant that will not be seen on anyone else.
