Sterling Beaded Eye Pendant

2x1.75
This pendant was made using a sterling silver bezel as a frame for a micro mosaic design. Playful material exploration lead to the simplicity of old metal buttons from Afghanistan being used as focal points. Their placement caused a natural bridge between the darkness of tiny black beads and the sparkle of Swarovski crystals. This piece is unisex. 
The chain is 30 inches long and made of sterling silver. This piece makes a unique and powerful statement.
