This collection has been in the works for almost a year. The stones were mined in Montana and cut by SalDigsMT and then smithed by Courtney right here in PA. These pendants are 100% made in America. Could you ask for anything better from a pendant? Many of these pendants feature PA's state symbols on the backplates as well as 24k gold plating. These have been a true joy to create! I hope you are in loce with them as much as I am!
