Vintage Flower Pendant Amber Necklace, Turquoise Handmade Jewelry Gift

The "Flower and Sunshine" handmade necklace features a vintage brass flower pendant, gorgeous amber and earthy turquoise - unique jewelry gift for her.

The big and bold FLOWER AND SUNSHINE handmade necklace is truly an eye catcher - a special piece of jewelry that seems to capture sunlight. Created with a unique vintage brass flower pendant focal, the one of a kind necklace also includes golden pyramid shaped pressed amber, turquoise and copper. The pendant was made in India out of solid brass and was used for trade in Africa (it was collected in Ghana). In the center of the glowing pendant is an encircled, multi-petaled flower raised against the background. It is surrounded by raised dots, adding wonderful texture to the pendant design. The raised areas are polished while the recessed areas have a darker patina to bring out the lovely details of the pendant. The back of the pendant is smooth and  slightly concave.  

The pressed amber making up the main body of the necklace is real amber, but not natural amber since it was melted and then pressed (reformed) into unique pyramid shaped beads, flat on the bottom and pointed at the top with three sides. Two colors of translucent amber were used: the majority is a glowing golden color but flecks here and there of a dark brown amber were also included. Air bubbles were injected when the amber was still warm; once the amber solidified, the bubbles were trapped. Because of the bubbles, the pressed amber glistens as the light refracts when passing through each piece. There is a constant sparkle as the angle of the light changes, each piece of amber is different with the amount and placement of the air bubbles. To perfectly highlight the amber, genuine turquoise rondelles were placed between each piece of amber. The earthy colors of the turquoise range from a turquoise blue through greens, beiges and dark brown, many rondelles having more than one color. A patterned copper toggle clasp securely fastens the necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FLOWER AND SUNSHINE necklace will radiate goodness each and every time it is worn and will quickly become a favorite for the woman who is lucky enough to own the beauty.
