Etched Laser Cut Wood Guitar Pick Music Note Pendant Necklace With Clip On Zipper Pull


Etched Laser Cut Wood Guitar Pick Pendant Necklace
 With Clip-On Zipper Pull

This wood guitar pick pendant necklace converts to a clip-on zipper pull. You can wear the pendant clipped on the chain that is included or clip it on zippers or purses. You have the option to wear the chain alone or layer it with other chains.

The solid, lightweight maple wood guitar pick is detailed with etched, laser cut music staff and notes. It is handmade in the USA. I added several coats of clear varnish to give the pick a light gloss finish. The back is smooth and flat. The wood pick is very sturdy measuring 25 mm x 25 mm, 1/8” thick.

I decided I wanted to give the pendant a rustic look so I wire together a section of copper-plated round beads and daisy spacers to connect to the wood pick. I also added a copper-plated 16th note charm that dangles over the pick. The copper colors of the findings are a great match to the reddish-brown engraving of the staff and music notes. The flat cable chain and clasp are also copper-plated.



The chain measures 21” long and the clip-on zipper pull measures 2 3/4”.

See all 10 photos showing close-up details including those showing the size of the pendant with a quarter, a ruler, and in my hand.

A lovely, unique gift for the guitar player or music lover who likes rustic, earthy jewelry.

NOTE: To keep this wood guitar pendant in good condition, do not use it to play guitar.

Trilobite Czech Glass Fossil Earrings
- Long Boho Dangles, Picture Jasper & Bone Beads -

https://www.etsy.com/prettygonzo/listing/621584746/fossil-earrings-czech-glass-trilobites?ref=shop_home_active_26

These unique long dangle earrings feature Czech glass fossil trilobites, picture jasper beads, and carved bone beads. The trilobite beads are delightful little off-white creations, about 5/8th of an inch long, with earthy brown Picasso finishing. The latter brings out the trilobite body's details, such as its striations and eyes. Handmade in the Czech Republic, these glass beads each have something unique about them—no two are exactly alike because they are not machine-made. The pair of trilobites I've used here are both quite handsome and complement each other nicely.

Perfect for anyone who loves tribal and boho styling, these handmade dangles also include:

• Picture jasper gemstone rounds (6mm)
• Bone tube beads with a tribal design of incised strokes (handmade in India)
• Japanese seed beads (hidden inside the   

   tube beads to stabilize them)
• Small bone spacers
• TierraCast copper plated daisy spacers 

   (made in USA)
• Copper rondelle spacers (3mm)
• Natural copper color wire (made in USA)
• Copper earring hooks

Their length, including ear wires, is about 2.75 inches.

Fun, dangly, and eye-catching, these glass fossil trilobite earrings were handmade by me with care, thought, and best wishes for the destined wearer. They come on a PrettyGonzo card and in a nice organza bag, all wrapped up for gifting to someone who loves fossils and geology, or simply appreciates unique boho tribal styling. Perhaps that someone is you!

ABOUT TRILOBITES
These fascinating primitive creatures abundantly populated Earth's ancient seas during the Paleozoic era, from 542 to 251 million years ago. Their ancestors originated about 90 million years before that. Anthropods in nature, trilobites survive only in fossilized form now, but are found in many places around the globe. These fossils are highly interesting, with the striations of the creature's triple-segmented exoskeletons often clearly preserved. As trilobites would shed these external skeletons as they grew, many exoskeletons themselves became fossilized. Also, most trilobites had eyes, whose placement can often be detected in the fossils as well.

Because of such details, trilobite fossils actually seem to have personalities! Perhaps that's one reason why ancient people were apparently as fascinated with them as many folks are today. At one human settlement in France, dating back 15 thousand years, archeologists unearthed a trilobite fossil that had been used as an amulet. The Czech glass trilobites used in this listing's earrings may not be fossils, but they certainly have personality and nicely evoke this marine creature and the primeval world.
