The Chinese symbol for ‘Ox,’ worked in lead- and antimony-free pewter, is a stunning inspiration piece for this innovative necklace. I’ve suspended it from polished round rhyolite beads and pewter spacers to make a pendant that falls 2 inches below the strand. Rhyolite is a lovely stone, with misty mottlings of greens and rusts. More rhyolite beads and transparent rust-coloured seed beads, along with more pewter accents, make up the 18 inch strand. It closes with a charming pewter toggle. What a great gift for the lady who was born in the Year of the Ox! Naturally, it’s from SPARKLE PLENTY.All our one of a kind and limited edition artisan beaded jewelry is individually handcrafted in our studio in Los Angeles, California.
