The history of the fortune teller's crystal ball is thousands of years old. In Western cultures divination with a crystal ball is mostly associated with the Romani peoples. We chose a Rose Quartz crystal ball to forecast LOVE for all who gaze into it's light. Cast in jeweler's brass the hand hangs on 14k gold plated brass chain that is coated to resist tarnish.
Designed and assembled in our Sonoma California studio.
Our plating is a genuine fine 14k gold. The gold is applied to a base metal (brass in this case) in a very thin layer. Gold plated jewelry is an affordable option to solid gold. You can lengthen the life of the gold layer by removing your jewelry when swimming in pools and especially the ocean. Also while exercising. Salt and chemicals break down the gold layer. Do not use a polishing cloth with chemicals to clean plated jewelry as the gold will rub right off.
