Octopus necklace from Michou’s “Poseidon’s Treasure” collection. The sterling silver and 22 karat vermeil pendant consists of a large round amazonite being hugged by the octopus. The silver is plated with anti-tarnish material. One Year Warranty.

The yellow is vermeil (pronounced ver-may) or washed in gold.  Vermeil is material that is composed of a thick layer of gold over solid sterling silver. While industry standards dictate that the gold portion must be 10 karats or above and 2 microns thick for a piece to be considered vermeil in the U.S., Michou uses 22 karat gold that is 3 or more microns thick.

Amazonite is a trade name used for a bluish-green to greenish-blue gem material that is a potassium-rich member of the feldspar mineral group.The gem was first named “Amazon stone”, after the Amazon River. Known as the “hope “ stone and dating back to ancient times, the brilliant blue-green hue of the Amazonite crystal was a distinguishing feature of the lavish and opulent emperor tombs of Egypt. Combined with Lapis Lazuli and Carnelian, the famous gold mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamen is also decorated with Amazonite, bringing the dazzling color of tropical waters to the sacred pyramids. Often regarded as a good luck charm, it was also a distinctive element in jewelry design, particularly with ancient Indians, who took advantage of its moderate hardness and carved it into round cabochon shapes for setting in rings, pendants, and earrings.
