Morganite Split Necklace
Morganite Split Necklace from China
Morganite
Morganite is a pink to light purple-pink variety of the mineral beril, which also includes emerald and aquamarine. The colour is created by the presence of manganese and can range from a soft pastel pink to a warmer peach colour. Because of its elegant hue and transparency, morganite is popular as a gemstone in jewellery.
Major deposits of morganite include Brazil, Madagascar, Afghanistan, Mozambique and the United States. The chemical formula of morganite is Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈, identical to that of other beryls. It crystallises in the hexagonal system and has a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale.

Our necklaces are available in various designs, including faceted, ball, split and knotted necklaces. Currently, all necklaces in our range are 45 cm long, which corresponds to a standard wearing length for most neck sizes. The beads or slivers used vary in shape and finish, giving each necklace a unique character.
The bead size varies depending on the type of chain, from around 4 mm in finer models to around 8 mm in the somewhat coarser versions. For split necklaces, uneven pieces of stone are used, with the split used varying from 5 to 10 mm, giving a natural look. Knotted necklaces feature a knot between the beads, which is not only decorative but also contributes to the strength of the jewellery.
Keep in mind that not every variety is available in all designs or bead sizes.
