Pietersite is also called "eagle's eye" and was named in honor of Sid Pieters who discovered it in 1962 in Namibia, Africa. It has embedded fibers of amphibole minerals, which cause a blue chatoyancy (the "cat eye" effect of reflective fibers in stones like tiger's eye).
*Please note: the color of the stone may be slightly different in person due to photography/computer monitor/device screen color discrepancies.
MATERIALS
Rapt in Maille jewelry is made predominantly from stainless steel, a very durable, affordable, hypoallergenic, and easy-to-care-for material. Unless otherwise noted, everything that is silver in color is stainless steel, including all jump rings, chains, findings, and clasps.
CARE
Rapt in Maille jewelry is made from stainless steel components with few exceptions. Stainless steel will not tarnish or oxidize, but may appear dull over time from outside elements such as natural oils from your skin or beauty products. Bring back luster with any liquid dish soap and water by vigorously lathering between your hands, then rinse and towel dry.
If your jewelry has a gemstone, please be mindful. You can alternatively use a soft-bristled toothbrush or soft cloth with soap and water to reach around stones. A polishing cloth will also bring back shine, but a thorough cleaning with soap and water is recommended from time to time.

PRODUCT FEATURES
F.A.Q.
Will stainless steel tarnish?
Stainless steel will not tarnish or rust under normal conditions, but may appear to get dull over time from excessive wear, your skin’s natural oils, beauty products, or exposure to the environment. This can simply be washed off with soap and water, or any safe cleaning product. Read more here.
Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to stainless steel?
Stainless steel is hypoallergenic, which means it won't cause an allergic reaction with MOST people. It is not at all common for stainless steel to react with the skin, but everyone needs to know their own metal sensitivities since it varies widely from person to person. If, by chance, you have an adverse reaction to Rapt in Maille's stainless steel jewelry, we would be happy to initiate a return. However, many happy customers who have metal allergies (like to nickel) purchase Rapt in Maille because they can wear it safely.
What if the listed size of the piece I like won't work for me?
Since Rapt in Maille is made by hand, a custom size is almost always possible. Please send an email to inquire about getting your correct size made. Include a link to the item, the exact title of the piece, or the item SKU number. If you need extra length for a necklace, you can always bypass the custom request and purchase an extension chain.
Do you offer gift cards?
Yes, absolutely! Gift cards are available for every occasion in denominations from $25 to $500. You can find the gift cards under the SHOP menu in the main website header.
Do you accept custom orders?
