Delicate but unmistakable, this small Teton pendant offers the iconic silhouette in its most refined form. Perfect for everyday elegance or layering with bolder pieces.
Each pendant begins as a hand-carved wax sculpture, capturing the Teton Range in miniature precision. Through lost wax casting, it transforms into sterling silver, then receives a 2.5 microns thick 24-karat vermeil plating with a 14-karat flash finish. The result is a tarnish-resistant piece designed to weather every adventure while maintaining its golden glow.

The Story
THE STORY BEHIND THIS PIECE
Teton Necklace-Small is the pendant for the minimalist mountain lover. After creating Large and Medium Teton Necklaces, I wanted to design something truly delicate—a piece you could wear every single day without thinking twice.
At just 6mm tall and 20mm wide, this small pendant captures the Teton silhouette in its most refined form. It's subtle enough to layer with multiple necklaces but distinctive enough to stand alone. The 14-inch chain keeps it sitting high on the collarbone, perfect for that modern layered look.
The craftsmanship is identical to its larger siblings: hand-carved wax, lost wax casting, sterling silver, and vermeil finish. Same tarnish-resistant engineering, same adventure-ready durability, just in a quieter package.
Customers tell me this becomes their "never take it off" piece. It's the necklace they wear hiking, traveling, working, sleeping. The mountains, always close to their heart, in the most wearable form possible.
Care Instructions
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your Teton Necklace- Small 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.
