Buddha with Garnet
About this design:
This pendant was hand formed from stoneware clay, bisque fired, glazed and then fired again in a high fire.
The bail is handmade of Hammered Copper wire. The pendant hangs from a strand of Garnet Gems. The necklace is finished with a copper eye and hook clasp. The earthy, tranquil feeling of this necklace is wonderful. You can dress it up or down. It looks great with cotton or cashmere... I hope you will love it as much as I do. You will find your inner peace when wearing this one of a kind necklace...
Necklace is 16-1/2" long. Pendant measures approx. 2" dia
