It&#39;s in sterling with fresh water pearls.&nbsp; Silver is more brilliant then the photo. Actual size is about 2&quot; high. I decided to have the image this large so the details would be clear. It&#39;s stunning on her.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/laurieopal/19175062/66930/66930_600.jpg" title="" /></div><br /><br />I&#39;m working this weekend on polishing some of the designs for Worldcon. Including a new snake pendant design from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vonda_N._McIntyre">Vonda McIntyre&#39;s</a> remarkable book &quot;Dreamsnake&quot;.&nbsp; I&#39;m looking forward to seeing her at Worldcon. The major pendants are mostly finished but there is still lots of work to be done.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=laurieopal&ditemid=31092" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://laurieopal.dreamwidth.org/31092.html shell dreamsnake vonda mcintyre art jewelry jewelry public 0
