- The large Swarovski rivoli crystal presented in full view, the pendant is intricately woven with jewelry brass and bright aluminum jump rings, one ring at a time, forming a 10-point circle to capture the beautiful stone.
- I selected the stone in Swarovski's Vitrail Medium for its multi-color effect; with the slightest tilt, you'll see pops of green, red, purple, fuchsia, and gold gleaming through the mixed metal "sun rays".
- The pendant measures nearly 1 3/4 inches across, about 1/2 inch thick at the center, weighs only 0.4 oz; substantial presence without the extra weight.
- It is fitted with my custom handmade bail also in jewelry brass. The bail has a generous opening to accommodate many commercially available neck chains. Or, if you prefer, you may also select one of the chains listed in the options box above. My personal favorite is the 2.4 mm thick, 16 inches long, stainless steel snake chain; it has the right weight and soft drape to show off the pendant in the perfect light.
