Oblong Shape Necklaces in Sterling Silver  

Why Elongated Gemstone Cuts Flatter Every Neckline

The oblong cut follows the natural crystal formation of many gemstones, which means less material is lost during shaping. Stones like malachite, chrysocolla, and dendritic agate often occur in elongated formations, making the oblong cut an efficient way to preserve maximum carat weight while showcasing the stone's internal patterns. Our silversmiths set each stone in .925 sterling silver using bezel or prong settings depending on the stone's hardness and shape. Softer stones like turquoise (Mohs 5-6) benefit from protective bezel settings that shield edges from impact. Harder stones like amethyst or citrine (Mohs 7) can handle prong settings that allow more light to enter the stone. The elongated profile works well as a single statement pendant or layered with shorter chain lengths. We source stones from mines in Arizona, Poland, the Dominican Republic, and Madagascar, among other locations.
