About the focal piece:

This type of carving dates back to the 3rd-2nd century BC (that's 2300 years ago, just imagine!) It was traditionally carved in China out of jade.
These pendants often had dragons on them, similar to the ones seen here.
They were believed to possess supernatural powers.

Maybe this pendant also possesses supernatural powers??


Materials I used to make this One of a Kind piece:
♥The focal piece is a hand-carved semi-precious stone, most likely of the agate family.
It was brought back from Asia some years ago by a friend. I've turned the piece upside down as I found it more attractive that way, and the dragon images are more subtle.
♥Turquoise (in many shapes and sizes)
♥Dyed turquoise (the lilac-pinkish stones)
♥Coral
♥Bone beads
♥Pearls
♥Carnelian
♥Amber
♥Sterling silver

Not only working with colors and shapes, I particularly paid attention to the fit here.
It lays well around the neck and it is comfortable, despite its size.
