HAGSTONE Necklace

A 'Hagstone' or 'Holey Stone' is a naturally occurring rock or stone which has a hole running through it. This can be caused by wear and age. Hagstones are often found on beaches, rivers or other places with running water.

Thy have long been seen as 'lucky' and are often strung up outside houses in a protective fashion or worn in a talismanic way as a necklace. They are said to be a 'key' to see into other worlds, and some say they have protective and healing powers.

I collected these found Hagstones whilst beachcoming on Hayling Island in Hampshire and also on my mudlarking trips to the ancient tidal Thames foreshore. When cast in metal they have a truly sculptural feel and are incredibly tactile and substantial to hold. They make a beautiful talisman, strung on a leather cord or on the chain provided.

There is a choice of 2 stones, with approximate dimensions of 2cm x 2cm.

They come in bronze or eco silver, with a corresponding 14K gold filled or sterling silver chain.

The circumference of the chain is 20".

Each sterling silver HAGSTONE comes with a full UK hallmark from The Assay Office.

The last two pictures show the eco silver version with oxidisation (this finish adds a dark patina to recessed areas of the Hagstone). There is a drop down option on the listing to select this finish at checkout. Oxidisation as a finish is available for eco silver only.
