I guess you could say I have a "weakness" for dangles, but I can't help it. Look how exotic and delightful they are! This petite vintage amulet depicts Seven-Mothers-and-a-Guardian. It is worn for protection, but I have to admit that it feels like camaraderie, too, especially since this image is also known as Seven Sisters. A nice reminder that we are never truly alone. The gemstones I swoon for... the 26 carats of faceted iolite have been arranged so that the color gradually shifts back and forth from light to dark -- an effect produced by very carefully sorting all 168 tiny little gemstone beads. Schwew! There is a larger iolite charm by the Balinese silver toggle clasp so you'll look fabulous from every angle. The necklace is 17" long.
