Sterling Silver & Mother of Pearl Flower Pendant
 
Hand crafted flower burst pendant ready for a nice leather strap or neck cuff. This item is more contemporary and was purchased in Taxco, MX.  Traveling overseas with it's previous owner this pendant has had some adventures.  It was acquired from an estate of a now retired military lady who is trying to find good home for a few of her beloved jewelry items.  The pendant is in great shape with a larger bail size to allow for a think leather strap or rope chain (see bail size below).  The mother of pearl of nice and white and shines shades of pink and orange when in the sun.  Mother of Pearl or "Nacre'" is the inside layer of shell that some mollusks produce.  It is the same material that pearls are formed from.
