Leather Pendant
About this design:
This pendant started life as an ear ring. The other one was probably lost and wearing one ear ring of this size doesn't look too fashionable. So the one that was left was re-purposed and made into a pendant.
It is made of leather with a gorgeous hand painted design. The color of the fresh water pearl makes it a perfect fit with the colors in the design.
Components:
painted leather, fresh water pearl, gun metal chain, sterling clasp and jump ringsAdditional Images:
