I live for this necklace. All components found in Tucson from the coolest vendors - a killer handmade chain company in California, an even cooler husband and wife hand-soldering team in Arizona, and brass from Africa. This necklace features a hand-soldered mother of pearl claw pendant from the 70s and it is glorious. I used two sizes of gunmetal plated chain, separated them by African brass over copper beads and finished with a gunmetal toggle clasp. This is my personal second favorite necklace
