A lovely, large abalone shell pendant wrapped in square sterling silver wire that's curved to enhance the natural pattern of the shell. I've added a cluster of tiny curls over the top of the stone to make it truly one of a kind. I hope you like it. Treat someone special to this gorgeous pendant or buy it for yourself. The pendant measures 3 1/8" from top of bail and is 1 5/8" wide.
Note: Abalone is a mollusk, living primarily off the California, Mexico and Japan coastal areas. Prized by sea otters and humans as a dining delicacy, the shell (also known as mother of pearl) is valued in jewelry making. Most abalone shells of this type come from the Orient and are bead pendants having a polished shell backing. The bead hole is covered by the elaborate wirework on the front of the shell.
Enjoy this unique piece of hand-crafted jewelry.
