Feel the Tetons against your skin. This isn't just a necklace; it's a daily reminder of the peaks that call to you, the trails that ground you, the wild places that make you whole.
Each pendant begins as a hand-carved wax sculpture, capturing the iconic silhouette of the Teton Range in intricate detail. Through the ancient lost wax casting technique, your vision transforms into solid sterling silver, then is enveloped in thick 2.5 microns think 24-karat vermeil plating with a luminous 14-karat flash finish. The result? A piece engineered to resist tarnishing through years of adventure, maintaining its rich golden glow whether you're summiting peaks or navigating city streets.

The Story
THE STORY BEHIND THIS PIECE
This pendant began as a vision during a sunrise hike in Grand Teton National Park. Standing at the base of the Cathedral Group, watching alpenglow paint the peaks in shades of rose and gold, I knew I had to capture that moment in wearable form.
The design process started with sketches and photographs, studying the exact angles and proportions of the Teton skyline. I hand-carved the original in wax.. Through lost wax casting, that wax model transforms into sterling silver, then receives its vermeil finish—2.5 microns thick 24-karat gold with a 14-karat flash for lasting brilliance.
Each pendant carries the same tarnish-resistant engineering I demand from all my pieces. This isn't jewelry you baby; it's jewelry you live in. Wear it hiking, traveling, working, adventuring. It's designed to weather every season alongside you.
Customers tell me this necklace becomes their signature piece, the one they never take off. It layers beautifully with other necklaces or makes a bold statement on its own. Either way, you're wearing the mountains close to your heart.
Care Instructions
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your Teton Necklace-Large is built for adventure, but a little care keeps it glowing:
Daily Wear:
• Safe for showering, swimming, and sweating (vermeil is durable!)
• Avoid harsh chemicals, chlorine, and saltwater when possible, or just make sure to rinse them after going in the pool or ocean
• Remove before applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray
Cleaning:
• Gently wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing
• For deeper cleaning, use warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing cloths (they can wear down the vermeil)
Storage:
• Store in the included pouch or a jewelry box to prevent scratches
• Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity when not wearing
Longevity:
With proper care, your vermeil finish will maintain its luster for years. If the gold plating eventually wears thin (after extensive daily wear), we offer re-plating services. Contact us for details.
This piece is designed to become an heirloom. Treat it well, and it'll tell your story for generations.
