Coyote Muzo Green Natural Chalcedony Tassel Necklace — High Carbon Diamond

About This Piece

There's a specific green that doesn't exist in glass, resin, or synthetic stone. It's the green found deep in chalcedony — layered, slightly translucent, with the quiet depth of something genuinely pulled from the earth. This necklace is built around that green.

The centerpiece: a Muzo green natural chalcedony drop, framed by high-carbon diamond pavé set in solid 925 sterling silver. The coyote motif — a creature known for its intelligence and adaptability — wraps the stone, giving the piece both a narrative and an edge. It's fine jewelry with a point of view.

The tassel drop moves with the body, catching light differently with every shift. Adjustable chain from 41 to 50cm means it sits well against a collarbone, a neckline, or layered over other pieces. At 31g, it has genuine weight — the kind that tells you something is real before you even look at it.

Why High Carbon Diamond?

Lab-grown using the same carbon structure as natural diamonds. Hardness 9.5/10. Virtually indistinguishable brilliance — paired here with genuine Muzo green natural chalcedony for a color only found in nature. Not CZ. Not moissanite. High carbon diamond.

Materials & Specifications

How to Wear It

The 41–45cm setting sits mid-collarbone — works well with crew necks, scoop necks, and open blazer collars. At 48–50cm, the pendant drops lower and layers naturally over a second, shorter chain.

The coyote motif reads as sculptural detail at conversational distance. For evening, the chalcedony catches candlelight and ambient light in a way that green glass simply doesn't. For a day, it reads as a considered, unusual piece against a white shirt or clean knit.

Designed for both men and women. The weight and scale sit comfortably across a range of necklines and builds.

Care Instructions

925 sterling silver with rhodium plating resists tarnish well under normal conditions. To maintain the finish: store in the included box when not wearing, keep away from perfume and chlorinated water, and clean gently with a soft dry cloth.

The chalcedony stone is a 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale — durable for everyday wear but not immune to impact. Remove before contact sports or heavy manual work.

If the piece tarnishes over time, a gentle silver polishing cloth will restore the finish. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners on the chalcedony stone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the chalcedony natural or synthetic? The Muzo green chalcedony used in this necklace is a genuine natural gemstone. It is not dyed, treated with fillers, or synthetic. Natural chalcedony exhibits subtle variation in color and translucency that no manufactured stone can replicate.

What's the difference between a high-carbon diamond and a cubic zirconia?

High carbon diamonds are lab-grown using carbon — the same element as natural diamonds. Cubic zirconia is zirconium dioxide, a completely different material. HCD scores 9.5/10 on the Mohs hardness scale; CZ scores around 8–8.5. The difference in brilliance and durability is measurable and visible.

Can this be worn as a unisex piece?

Yes. The coyote motif and the green stone read differently depending on context, but the scale and weight of the piece suit a range of styles and builds. It has been worn by both men and women across our customer base.

Will the silver tarnish?

The rhodium plating provides lasting protection against tarnish under normal wear conditions. Follow the care instructions included in the packaging for long-term maintenance.
