Description

Handcrafted in Chico, California, the Solstice Turquoise Patina Necklace is a modern pendant necklace that pairs a polished double-circle design with a vivid turquoise patina created through our proprietary patina process. Each patina develops its own variations in color, markings and texture, making every turquoise necklace truly one of a kind.

Choose a sterling silver necklace for a cool-toned finish or 14k gold-filled necklace for a warmer look, each paired with a coordinating chain. The contrast between the polished outer circle and organic blue-green patina gives Solstice its distinctive look. Wear this circle necklace on its own for a beautiful pop of color or add it to your favorite layered necklaces.

The Meaning Behind Solstice

Named for the solstice, a moment of transition and the turning of the seasons, this piece is a reminder that change can create something beautiful. The evolving turquoise patina makes that meaning especially fitting. Each one transforms a little differently, creating a piece that is entirely its own.

Wear Solstice as a symbol of change, growth, new beginnings and the beauty that can come from embracing what’s next.

Design & Materials

The Solstice design brings together clean, polished metal and the beautifully unpredictable character of patina. A polished outer circle frames the turquoise patina at the center, creating contrast while keeping the overall design simple and modern.

The turquoise color is not paint, enamel or a stone. It develops directly on the metal through our proprietary patina process. Because every patina develops a little differently, variations in blue-green color, markings and texture are an intentional part of the design.

How to Wear

Solstice was designed for easy everyday wear. This turquoise pendant necklace adds color without overwhelming your other jewelry, making it beautiful on its own and equally easy to wear as a layering necklace with shorter or longer chains.

Care

To help preserve the patina and metal finish, avoid prolonged contact with water, lotions, perfumes and other beauty products. Store your necklace in its box when you're not wearing it and gently wipe the polished metal with a soft, dry cloth as needed. Avoid polishing the patinated portion, as this may alter its unique finish.

Packaging & Gifting

Each Solstice Turquoise Patina Necklace arrives gift packaged in our signature Amy Waltz Designs box. Its one-of-a-kind patina and symbolism make it an especially meaningful gift for someone celebrating a new beginning, navigating a season of change or simply drawn to unique, handcrafted jewelry.

Will my Solstice Necklace look exactly like the photos?
No two are exactly alike. Each turquoise patina develops individually, giving your necklace its own variations in color, markings and finish.

Is the turquoise a stone or painted color?
Neither. The turquoise color develops directly on the metal through our proprietary patina process. It is not paint, enamel or a separate stone.

What metals are available?
Choose sterling silver or 14k gold-filled, each with a coordinating chain.

What does Solstice symbolize?
Solstice represents transition, change and the turning of the seasons. We designed it as a reminder that change can create something beautiful and that every new season brings the possibility of growth and a new beginning.

Absolutely. Its modern double-circle design works beautifully on its own or layered with other necklaces.

Where is it made?
Each Solstice Necklace is handcrafted by our team of artisans in Chico, California.

Sizing

Bangles are any closed circle bracelet.

SIZING DETAILS:
Extra Small/Small: 2.25" Diameter OR 7" Circumference
Medium: 2.50" Diameter OR 7.75" Circumference
Large: 2.75" Diameter OR 8.5" Circumference
XLarge: 3" Diameter OR 9 1/8" Circumference

TIPS FOR SIZING:
With bangles the tricky part is not the wrist but the largest part of the hand the bangle needs to pass over. To figure out your size, grab a flexible tape measure and squish your hand down (as if you're preparing to pass a bangle over it). Wrap the tape measure tightly around the biggest part of your hand. Then compare that measurement to the circumference above and select the size that works best for you. If it is a gift, the most common size is medium. If you're unsure it's always best to go bigger than smaller. If you are purchasing a personalized piece, because they are so highly specialized, they are final sale.

Please consider upsizing when you order 4+ rings or when the listing comes as a stack.

PLEASE NOTE: If you plan to stack FOUR or more rings on one finger, consider ordering 1/2 size bigger than your standard ring size for a more comfortable fit.

For your convenience, we offer a reusable ring sizing tool. These are wonderful if you don’t know your ring size!

The most common size for necklaces is 18" and we have have found that's the safest length to select when buying as a gift. If you don't know your size, take a flexible tape measure and wrap it around your neck and match the tape measure to the spot that feels best to you on the tape. That's your ideal length!

With necklaces where the chain is connected at two places on the top, please take into account that the top portion of the necklace is included in the measurement. With that knowledge, a 16" length may fit shorter than typical because the top is included in the circumference.

Cuffs are open in the back and meant to fit snug to the wrist.

SIZING TIPS:
We find that 80% of our customers fit into our standard 6.5" size. Please note that cuffs are intended to fit snug. To figure out your size, take a flexible tape measure and wrap it around your wrist tightly to find your wrist's circumference. We suggest adding about 1/2" to your circumference for the best fit. For example, if your wrist measures 6", 6.5" size is your ideal size. Reach out to us if you have questions on sizing. We are here to help!

To measure your wrist, take a flexible tape measure (most sewing kits have them) and wrap it snugly around your wrist to find your wrist circumference.
To find the bracelet size, increase your wrist measurement by the increment below, based on how you’d like the bracelet to fit.

For a snug fit, add 1/4 ” to 1/2"
For a comfort fit, add 3/4" to 1"
For a loose fit, add 1" and 1/4"

The size that corresponds closest to your wrist measurement PLUS this increment is what you order. Average wrists measure 6"- 6.25"

Wide-banded rings are rings that are 1/2" or wider.

SIZING TIPS:
Some people find they need to upsize 1/2 size to a full size from their standard ring size for the most comfortable fit. It comes down to you, your fingers and how you like to wear your rings. We find most people only need 1/2 size increase. For your convenience, we offer a reusable ring sizing tool. These are wonderful if you don’t know your ring size!

The narrow-banded ring band is typically less than 1/4" wide.

We handcraft each and every ring to order and work in US Ring Sizing Standards. With narrow banded rings, you can simply order in your standard ring size.

For your convenience, we offer a reusable ring sizing tool. These are wonderful if you don’t know your ring size!
