Inner Beauty
About this design:
This pendant was just begging for a home. It was the 'ugly duckling' in a jewelry case full of dainty, beautiful pendants, and looked so out of place. I bought this a few years ago and finally this past week decided to showcase it...
Components:
Blister Pearl pendant, Rock Crystal, Amethyst, Lepidolite, Ametrine chips, Freshwater pearls, glass pearls, sterling silver bead caps and toggle clasp...Additional Images:

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Blister pearls are just different. I used to tell my one cat and the boxer (both Females) ever so sweetly they were so ugly. They both grew out of that stage and are now both gorgeous in their own way.. I guess maybe you sort of feel that way about this pendant. So funny. Now I tell them they are pretty. Grandma used to say pretty is as pretty does, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like this and it is probably feeling quite regal with its magnificent new friends. Nicely done I might add.
