I'm very much taken with the asymmetry of the blister pearl pendant. The curve is shallower on one side, and one "shoulder" is a tad higher than the other. I think it gives the piece a more natural look than would a perfectly shaped pendant. It's about 1-1/8" wide, and dangles about 2-1/8" below the strand. I've used tiny aqua and ultramarine ("Capri") Swarovski crystals, along with white freshwater pearls, ivory mother-of-pearl and sterling silver, all spaced with itty bitty indigo seed beads, to make the 17" strand. It clasps with a sterling silver toggle. It's another beautiful necklace from SPARKLE PLENTY.
